He re-edited American History X without the Directors consent but that was just as much down to Tony Kaye falling out with the studio. He also did re-writes on The Incredible Hulk. Its not known how much he actually rewrote although he didnt get a credit for it but some people have said that he changed about 70% of the original screenplay. There was a story doing the rounds that he was refused into the edit of the film during post production and he did refuse to do publicity for the film when it was released which I think backs up some bad blood although he still thought he was in line to play Hulk in the Avengers
DeanoTheGame Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 The Ed Norton Hulk is so so shit. Easily the worst of the Marvel Universe films.
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 25, 2012 Paid Members Posted May 25, 2012 Norton is pretty massively overrated anyway.
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted May 25, 2012 Moderators Posted May 25, 2012 The Ed Norton Hulk is so so shit. Easily the worst of the Marvel Universe films. Even if you didn't like it, that's laughable. I can only assume you haven't seen the likes of Daredevil and Wolverine? I think it's better than a lot of the other Marvel films, but those two are so spectacularly awful I can't imagine anyone disagreeing on this.
DeanoTheGame Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Oh yeah, it's better than Daredevil and Elektra and the like. I just meant out of the films that are set in the Avengers universe - so Iron Man 1 and 2, Incredible Hulk, Captain America, Thor and Avengers. Out of all those it's the worst, although I haven't seen The Avengers yet.
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted May 25, 2012 Paid Members Posted May 25, 2012 I enjoyed The Incredible Hulk more than Captain America. CA felt like a trailer for The Avengers.
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted May 25, 2012 Paid Members Posted May 25, 2012 The Incredible Hulk is awesome, it was released around the same time as The Dark Knight and Iron Man IIRC and it was my favourite of the three. Having said that, Hulk stiff "felt" CG in it, it wasn't til the Avengers that I could completely buy him as being there.
Paid Members chokeout Posted May 25, 2012 Paid Members Posted May 25, 2012 Nothing wrong with the Incredible Hulk its a good fun film. You only need to look at shite like Ghost Rider 2 to see how easy it is to make a bad film out of comic characters

Plenty of people with otherwise decent taste seem to disagree with me though. Iron Man is my favourite of the lot.

Just out of interest Chest, what aspects of Wolverine didn't you like? I quite enjoyed it, had what I felt was a well cast ensemble group of mutants, so am interested in hearing your opinion. The only gripe I could nit-pick was the bit with the motorbike/helicopter, but even that in a superhero movie I could live with. I have Spiderman 3 and Daredevil pretty low on the comic film list.
hitman89762000 Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Do any of you rank the marvel films in any particular order for viewing?
Paid Members MichaelScarn Posted May 25, 2012 Paid Members Posted May 25, 2012 Avengers is right up there, but I think it adds something to it if you have seen the films leading into it, so its a diffcult one to answer. If you aren't too bothered then my top 5 recommendations of 'stand alone' films in no particular order would be: Dark Knight Avengers Iron Man 2 X Men First Class X-Men 3 (last stand?)

Dark Knight isnt Marvel. Iron man 2 and Xmen 3 suffer from the same 'lets have a load of set pieces and no story' problem. If you are just going to watch 1 xmen film surely it would be X2?

Good list, except that X-Men 3 is horrible.
