Amazing actor and if you don't think so see 25th Hour, American History X, Primal Fear, and how can you forget Fight Club

I am going to have to say it. He is my one of my most HATED actor. I have never liked him, He has always got on my nerves.

He, In my opinion, is poor. He may be able to act however i have yet to see it. He is Weedy and annoying and his whole appearance annoys me. The Incredible Hulk was by far his best role as he suits a weedy pathetic scientist that is really worthless.

He Just irritates me alot...He is close behind Jason (one tone) Statham!

I love Ed Norton personally. I dunno. I've enjoyed a good few of his films anyways. Each to their own though.

I'd say Keanu Reeves is the perfect mono-tone model though.

After Primal Fear and American History X---the latter in particular---people were all over him like he was the next Brando.

He's pretty good and better than a lot of actors currently working, but I don't think he's anything special. I don't think he's either underrated or overrated. IMO, he's rated just fine: Above-average.

In 'The Score' which he starred with Brando (even if Brando's part was somewhat minor), I thought he played a very good handicapped man during the times he was acting the part in the movie.

lol, I assumed you guys loved him over there.

I enjoy most everything he does except for The Transporter 2. The CGi's killed that one.

I must say, when it comes to British actors i am quite Piccy. I prefer the more serious ones or ones with a good humor instead of the likes of Jason Statham or Vinnie jones. Give me Bill Nighy or Simon Pegg any day.

I LOATHE Keanu. Yikes, what a waste of celluloid!
Edward Norton though, I think he´s made a couple of classics, Fight Club, American History X, Primal Fear.
Made some really bad stuff: Italian Job, anyone? Or Keeping the faith, The Hulk or 25th hour which I thought was dull dull DULL.

I think he was overhyped at first, after X and Fight Club, and got a bit too big for his boots after that.
So as a longish response to your question: first overhyped, now under appreciated!

Does anyone agree or am i just crazy? lol
I totally agree with you. I've recently seen other movies that he played in. He is awesome!!! He needs more credit. Even as the bad guy in The Italian Job, he was great.
