The Incredible Hulk
The Incredible Hulkis often study an outlier of the Marvel Cinematic Universe , but it does one specific thing better than any other MCU installing . The second MCU movie ever made , 2008’sThe Incredible Hulkfails to carry the interlinked way the universe will operate despiteIron Man ’s achiever two years prior . alternatively , it tells a spirited , more traditional Hulk account as Edward Norton ’s Bruce Banner hail to terms with his violent side - yet it is this distance from the rest of theMCU that allowsThe Incredible Hulkto succeed in one specific way .

Perhaps due to its detachment from the sleep of the enfranchisement , The Incredible Hulkhas the good soundtrackin the Marvel Cinematic Universe . Though critic do n’t regard the motion picture ’s level as anything close to the MCU ’s proficient , most gibe in their assessment that Craig Armstrong ’s soundtrack is a highlighting . Armstrong ’s pulsating music give the flick its unequaled tone , feeling far more serious than anything else in the MCU since . In this style , away from Alan Silvestri ’s ubiquitousAvengerstheme , it may be the most considered and compelling piece of euphony boast in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date .
Armstrong ’s mark is shockingly efficacious . It givesThe Incredible Hulklegitimacy as a more serious take on the superhero musical genre than many of its MCU Phase 1 coeval , such asIron ManorCaptain America : The First Avenger , can muster . The soundtrack is defined by intense strings and a strong layer of drums that add to the intensity of Bruce being tag and his far more serious transformations into the Hulk . When count at the evolution of the Hulk , it is nevertheless unmanageable to see Mark Ruffalo ’s take on Banner engaging in non - comedic action with such a dramatic score behind him .
As a result , it is a shame that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has not used Armstrong ’s exceptional score as the theme for the Hulk in other projects . However , the step of the MCU has shifted dramatically since the dismission ofThe Incredible Hulk , andMark Ruffalo ’s take on the Hulkhas seen the hoagy transubstantiate into a much lighter , more comedic chassis . The Marvel Cinematic Universe does n’t often reuse scores from previous moving picture , but if Mark Ruffalo gets his own solo movie , and it is darker in tone ( perhaps adjust the laughable books ' iconicWorld War Hulkstory ) , Armstong ’s report fromThe Incredible Hulkshould decidedly return .
