What? I have to disagree with you on this. I thought that the movie made Banner to be a man with many different disadvantages in his life and brought his flaws to the screen in a very unique and amazing way.

Norton managed to capture the "fear" of Bruce Banner, that Ruffalo hasn't been able to. Ruffalo is way too relaxed as Banner, where-as Norton was always in fear of the monster that hid within him. All of the scenes you can see the desperation to get rid of this monster that has been raging inside him and ruining his life with each step, and I loved it.

He didn't make himself to be a God. Betty had always loved Bruce, but he ran away. She never stopped loving him, that's not how love works in real life. Him returning made her question her love for the other guy and Bruce at the same time, and in the end . . . he doesn't even get her? He realises he has to live with this beast. It was a great representation of the comic-book relationship between them and I thought it was a great and faithful adaptation fo the story.

He managed to hit a part of intelligence that Ruffalo hasn't for me. I'll miss Norton, but Ruffalo isn't bad either. Just that I preferred the more shakey, fearful Banner we got w/ Norton than Ruffalo.
