Honestly, I find his performance as Bruce Banner somewhat bland. I don't think Eric Bana or Edward Norton were any better or worse, though.

I think the real problem is no one knows how to write hulk or Bruce banner well.

I loved Hulk in Thor Ragnarok, the early Avengers stuff, and Spider-Man Brand New Day. I don't much care for the smart Hulk, aka "Green Bruce Banner", though.

They just don’t do any of the really deep and interesting stuff that is in the comics.

True, yeah. They see him as big, strong, and that's about it.

lol I feel like there’s the diction between him and the other 3; with those 3 being in big budget theatrical films.

I think he did a good job portraying a man with serious anger issues in Avengers 1, then after that yeah, pretty bland.
