Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Let's see. Insightful/compelling/novel elements of Banner/Hulk that were strictly script-related...

And this is just off the top of my head...

Spoiler:

Banner as humanitarian.
Hulk as a comic relief - the great moment with Loki, the punching of Stark.
Hulk set off in a small area with a character we care about instead of a villain.
Banner having attempted suicide.
Banner being in control of himself when he purposefully changes into Hulk.
"I'm always angry."

Ruffalo's performance was great. But without the writing of those elements and others, it would've left me just as cold as the previous two hulk movies did.

You're welcome to your own opinions, but because I saw SO much in the film that was different/better/sharper/more developed/funnier/clearer/more structurally sound than the previous characters' movies, your "it's a complete misfire" response comes across to me as contrarianism, as opposed to thoughtful criticism.
