   If you are referring to the original /Hulk/, the original Spider-Man   
   trilogy, the original X-Men trilogy -- you are correct.   
      
   I have very very few recent Marvel movies on DVD or BD. I stream most   
   of them; they generally fall into two categories an "upper half" which   
   is at least minimally entertaining and a "lower half" which isn't even   
   that.   
      
   I don't read the comics, BTW, so I look at these solely as movies. As   
   a group, they are generally worth watching once, which is better than   
   those I regret watching but not anything I would ever want to watch   
   again.
