I can see where you coming from, but I still consider it a good Hulk movie.
The larger point is that it reinforces my problem with MCU as a whole: I don't feel like any of these guys they hire care about capeshit, just the paycheck and fame of working on an MCU project and that's where all the dumb shit like female Surfer comes from.
Disney guys see the characters as corny stupid crap they're "elevating". I guess that's true for all capeshit adaptations to a degree, but here it's very blatant. I think part of what makes Raimi's Spider-Man so good, even despite its differences from the source material which I feel are usually for the worst, is that Raimi likes Spider-Man. I don't feel that love anywhere near most MCU projects. Norton also seemed very passionate about Hulk and for all the horror stories of his micromanaging, the moment he went away, Hulk as an MCU character went into a slow decline.
So it's just sad when people who actually like the character they're working on fail while those who don't succeed and as you can see in the long term that eventually stops panning out.
