Should the film had been a origin story?

Or get right into the action where Banner is already The Hulk and see his origin in flashbacks.

That's why I generally don't like 'origin stories' in superhero flicks -- it takes forever just to set-up the story.

More often than not though the "origin" is the story. That's why we forever get reboots.

It shouldn't be though. What's more interesting, Spider-Man's origin story in Amazing Fantasy #15 or the Jackal/Gwen Stacy clone storyline from The Amazing Spider-Man #129-149? This is why I never saw the first Captain America movie. I'm more interested in his life/adventures/challenges after becoming a superhero.

Open with Banner living in isolation in a cabin with a makeshift lab in the woods or Badlands.
