One could make an argument that the most disliked Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movie is The Incredible Hulk (2008). Despite generally positive reviews, the movie has overwhelmingly negative audience scores on such sites as IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes.
Although not a financial or critical failure in and of itself, critics and movie goers alike have noted that it failed to truly capitalize on the potential of the character and lacked the originality of other entries in the MCU franchise.
Furthermore, it was a big departure from the comic stories of the Hulk, which may have been off-putting to fans of the original source material. Additionally, many argue that Edward Norton’s portrayal as Bruce Banner is too subtle and lacks the level of intensity that Mark Ruffalo would bring to the role.
Though it still had some strong aspects and a strong performance by Tim Roth, The Incredible Hulk failed to connect with the fans on many levels, which some say is why it has become the most disliked MCU movie.
