I think he was the perfect actor for General Ross.

His look is spot on for Gen Ross and i might be in the minority but i think I liked him more in the role than William Hurt(Who also great as Gen Ross)

I think he did a good job also but it's William hurt who is coming back for civil war

Let me put it this way with regards to Elliot vs. Hurt as Gen. Ross.

One of them is always a tough, intimidating person onscreen.

The other won an Oscar for playing an effeminate homosexual male.

He was good, Nolte was the best performance in the movie though.

Nolte was nauseating as usual. He was the same guy he plays in every movie he's in. The only thing missing in Hulk was the chain-smoking.

I'll take it by your comment you haven't seen him too many times. Way off base.

[–] CromeRose 9 years ago

I've seen him plenty of times.

Gangster Squad - same guy he played in Mulholland Falls.
Zoo Keeper - heck, just his voice in this and it was same old same old
Tropic Thunder - same grungy, grody, breathy dude as in anything else
Spiderwick - ditto
Affliction
U-Turn
Down and Out in Beverly Hills
48 Hours

That's about as much of old Nick that I can stomach, thanks!

Yeah. It's a shame we'll never see him again as this character. I dislike William Hurt in the role and don't see him as a good fit.

I prefer hurt after civil war.

[–] Nobody_Gives_A_Damn 9 years ago

Its the only thing they got right in this movie imo.

The stupid have one thing in common. They alter the facts to fit their views not the other way!

[–] BrotherZed 9 years ago

I prefer Elliot, he is one of my favorite actors. However, Hurt did a pretty good job and I am OK with him.

Certainly has the voice for it.
