What I Think

    I saw this movie in theaters when i was 10 years old and i really liked it. After re watching it i saw flaws that i didn't see when i 1st watched it. Compared to the other MCU movies it is the worst of the 13 but as a film by itself it is an okay film. It has good effects and good acting from the lead Edward Norton but everything else is just okay. My favorite scene from the movie was the final showdown between Hulk and Abomination. This is my 13th favorite MCU film and i would recommend it to fans of the MCU and other comic book fans.
