I like Norton's performances, but if he wants to be THAT controlling and perfectionist rather than letting the director and producers lead, then he just needs to bite the bullet and become a director.

No-one can stand working with the guy.

I'd tell you but it would take 2 years and cost you 10 million and JC's "first dollar gross"….

It's about Norton being an insufferable asshole during the making of the Hulk.

There's a reason he's not in many big movies anymore.

He's a colossal pain in the ass. He thinks he knows better than the writer, the director, the DP — no matter the movie he's working on.

People just don't want to deal with it anymore despite his talent.

As far as I know, even nerds were tepid on this. Is that what passes for overrated now?
