Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Philip King We were spoiled back in the 70's and 80's with American Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Drama series with gems such as The Six Million Dollar Man, The Bionic Woman and many more but my favorite has to be The Incredible Hulk.I remember watching this many years ago and when i saw the whole series was available in a DVD box set i had to have it.When you watch them all on DVD you soon notice how many actors and actresses re-appear throughout the series in different parts and most i decided to check out on IMDb to what else they have been in and most go through all of the TV series i mentioned above and more.The 1st season stand-out is the 1st for obvious reasons, add the 2nd episode and you are all sorted and ready for this monster of a journey. Another is Never Give A Trucker An Even Break which uses a LOT of stock footage from the Steven Spielberg Duel movie, also we have...well...pretty much all of the 1st season is a highlight as its all still new and fresh.Season 2 starts with Married a 2 parter and earned Mariette Hartley an Emmy as Best Actress in a Drama series. Another 2 parter i have to mention is Mystery Man part 1 and 2 where David Banner and the ever present Reporter Jack McGee spend most of the time together but with Davids face covered in bandages Jack never gets to see him in this one. The Hulk does save Jack in this one and i think it may be the start of the turning point for Jack starting to believe.....just a little...that this green monster isn't so much of a monster after all like he 1st thought. Kindred Spirit is another one worth mentioning where David joins an expedition that found evidence that there may have been another Hulk many many years ago.The 3rd season doesn't have the cracking start like the 1st 2 had, i think Mystery Man would have been a good one to start season 3 but again we are treated to the mini mysteries with lots of scenes of David always loosing a a fight and then lots of shirt ripping and The Hulk taking care of business just how we love it to be. In this season we have David loose his sight in Blind Rage, we see David be a Magician's assistant in My Favourite Magician and mention that he knows nothing about being a magician (Little amusing as he place a Magician in another good and successful series), we get to meet David's Sister and Father all of which makes season 3 also a must see.WOW season 4 starts with a cracking opener Prometheus a 2 parter that is more like a movie than a TV series. Here we get to see David stuck half way between David and The Hulk, then getting captured and then...oh you will have to watch to find out. We get the gangster style episode Goodbye Eddie Cain directed by Jack Colvin.The episode we thought we would never see, King Of The Beach where top billing goes to Lou Ferrigno, not just as the hulk but as Lou with a speaking role and doing what he does best, working out. What a treat we get, we get Lou AND The Hulk in the same shot...brilliant...and they still managed to make it look like The Hulk is much taller than Lou.Still with season 4 we are again given a great 2 parter called The First where we get to see another Hulk and the 2 Hulks go head to head. I have to say the other Hulk is awful and way too camp but very tall...i won't give any more away than that...but this would have been entertaining enough to be a good season opener. This is followed by The Harder They Fall where we see David paralyzed, so what will happened with him in this state and he turns into The Hulk?? watch it and see. Then we have Interview With The Hulk where Emerson Fletcher, a colleague of Jack McGee at the National Register manage to get a lead on The Hulk and convinced David to do an interview which he captures on tape. Now i thought these tapes may surface again in a later episode but we don't know what ever happened to them other than Emerson had them again. A future story could have been made from this one. The rest of the season is OK and nothing special...maybe because we had been spoiled so much with earlier episodes in this season but still remains the best season.Season 5 starts as OK like season 4 ended which led me to believe that these episodes were just left over from season 4 and i read somewhere that they were apart from the final 2. This season's last 2 episodes Slaves and A Minor Problem felt like they may have been the real season 5 episodes. A Minor Problem was the final episode of The Incredible Hulk, it was a good one but certainly not a series ender. I understand that everyone was keen to carry on with the series but no one really said why it ended, maybe it was costing too much?It's Sad that both Bill and Jack are no longer with us. There was talk of other episodes that had been thought about, i think Bill or Lou may have mentioned one about The Hulk talking and director Kenneth Johnson had an idea about bringing David's Sister back into it and needing a blood transfusion from David. Love to see those two.This is my 1st review on IMDb and all i have left say is long live The Hulk. :)

JACK SOUTH (JSouth1) I love this show, like many others who posted here. I too, grew into my teenage years watching this show. When I was first told about this show, at age 10, I was led to believe it would be some kind of "horror show", about "Some scientist who turns into a monster, when he gets mad" as I recall my sister putting it. Nonetheless--for some reason, I watched "Death in the family", my first episode...and was sold from there---and still am.Here was a show where a "scientist DOES "turn into a "monster" when he gets angry or upset"...but it was MUCH, MUCH more than that!! The "green monster" is only a small part of the show, and when the "hulk" DOES surface--he ALWAYS changes something for the better, albeit causing a lot of destruction in the process.NO person or persons who got to "know" David "Banner"(or the MANY "B" aliases he used) during the course of the show, came out not being touched, for the better--and often had their business, family or even lives saved. As Banner roamed across the country in search of research jobs and such that would enable him to get access to gamma-ray irradiation equipment--he would invariably get "Drawn into" the lives of some people along the way....and in doing so, found out that some nefarious schemes were going on, by someone who either wanted someone's business, was a corrupt official or politician, engaged in some illegal and dangerous experiments, or trying to cover up some conspiracy. Banner would normally try to intervene on his own, only to be bullied by the bad guys, occasionally even women, and would invariably get beat--up and tossed into some dark corner...and then--the "hulk" would suddenly emerge. When he did surface--the Hulk knew EXACTLY what needed to be done, to resolve a situation--though he DID sometimes do things "the hard way" (such as in "Ricky"--a retarded man is in a race car, and getting gassed by the fumes...all the Hulk needed to do was to "REACH IN THE CAR--and TURN OFF THE IGNITION--instead...he slams the hood of the car down, mashing the car to the ground , jamming out the engine and collapsing the suspension!! Of course..he DID save the guy..).The Hulk has been called by many a "gentle giant". This is true, as he would not EVER really hurt anyone, and often even saved bad guys who either got caught in their own trap or were double--crossed by their cohorts. The most the Hulk would normally do--was to toss a bad guy across the room, but NEVER did he actually hurt them--though he DID destroy ANY weapons they had--such as the favorite--of bending a gun barrel down or even crushing one in his hand. Often, after he caught the bad guys, the Hulk would bend some conduit or such around them--making it unable for them to escape, and be caught by the ensuing police. Not to mention--the Hulk was VERY gentle to someone who appeared to be injured--and he would gracefully remove that person from danger--and carry them to safety.Always in pursuit of the Hulk was a pesky reporter, named Mcgee. Mcgee was curious about the origin of the hulk from the beginning, and his meddling causes an explosion in a lab where Banner and his friend were working, as he is hiding in a chemical closet, and when Discovered by Banner--he knocks a bottle of something, presumably an acid, over, and it runs on the floor over to some chemical, possibly potassium,--and a hypergolic reaction results, blowing up the lab. Mcgee only sees the Hulk carrying a scientist--and he thinks he killed her, Elaina Marks and Banner. From here--he is always in pursuit of the hulk--and a few times along the way--ends up in trouble himself that only the Hulk can resolve. At least twice-the Hulk saves Mcgee's life directly.By the end of each episode...Banner has reverted back to himself, and is normally seen heading out of some town ...on foot, to another town. Along the way--someone's livelihood--and possibly life--was changed for the better. Except for his own. Even though he helped countless people and saved many lives--banner NEVER was able to "help himself" by finding a "cure" for his "Hulk--outs". He does come VERY close a couple of times--notably in "the First" where he actually gets a chance at a cure"--but alas--not quite. It was hard not to feel bad for Banner....giving himself to others EVERY time--but never getting his own recourse. Of course....without the Hulk--Banner is nearly powerless to do much of anything to help anyone--as he is a wimp--and pretty much anyone can overpower him--UNTIL those "eyes start to change"....I am glad this show is now being shown in the Cincy area on RTV. I still watch it--and always will.

jshorva65 I loved the show despite the fact that I found many parts of the Pilot movie very disturbing. When I first saw it, I was just twelve years old, and had been having what ultimately were prescient recurring dreams of my someday becoming an unusually young widower since approximately the age of three. I also had a long history of tragically-misunderstood (very often seriously maligned) heroic deeds and intentions of pure altruism which were often seriously misrepresented by those who seemed to delight in making trouble for me or anyone who dared to get close to me, the "geek with the bulletproof-thick glasses" until the day I had finally had enough (at age 15) and delivered a well-deserved beat-down to some a$$hole who had been slandering the "new girl" in school with tales of promiscuity (attributing the lies he told about her to ME, actually) for her having befriended me, probably motivated by jealousy over my having been the one she had befriended rather than him. After being pummeled by me that day, he managed to arrange a "sneak attack" on me, but I wasn't injured as badly as he had hoped. Years later, though, he delivered a long-overdue apology. There were also surprisingly-few times when I actually had to fight before the common misconception of "He can't hit what he can't see!" was dispelled. Other than "sucker punches" delivered from behind, I blocked pretty well for a "half blind" kid, too.The deaths of Laura and Elaina were particularly disturbing back then, even more so after 2003. I was 37 when my wife, Jan, lost a long battle with kidney failure. When our relationship began, she told me of her potentially-fatal condition, the high school gymnastics accident which was determined to have been its cause, the kidney transplant she received in 1988, the ten-year prognosis given by the surgeon who performed the transplant (the transplant ultimately exceeded the surgeon's expectations by three years). While waiting for a compatible replacement to become available for her, the dialysis treatments which sustained her life during that time ultimately caused a fatal heart attack while she slept after a particularly strenuous dialysis session. About 36 hours before she passed away, she told me of her belief that she wouldn't have much longer to live. It was her way of saying "Goodbye" to me, and reminding me that it was only because she was ready to stop fighting to stay alive since she had fulfilled all that she had ever hoped for in life and more (finding true love with me, witnessing the Graduations of both her children, the birth of her first grandchild, and being called Grandma for the first time by her granddaughter) and had already known this was coming when she signed her Living Will and Do Not Resuscitate orders. If not for that final "Goodbye" from her, I would still be a mess 6-1/2 years later, filled with frustration at the fact that I was also asleep for well over an hour past the time when I believe she must have died.Dedicated with love to Jan (1961-2003)

Ibuk When I was growing up The Incredible Hulk was without a doubt my favourite Superhero due to the 70's TV show. I didn't manage to catch it when it first aired seeing as I was born a couple of years later but I managed to catch the reruns. My favourite parts of the show was obviously when Dr Banner would turn into the Hulk and start smashing things. The story followed Dr David Banner who whilst experimenting on himself accidentally exposes himself to too much gamma radiation and as a result of that the green beast is born. From then onwards whenever someone made him angry he would turn into the Hulk, hence the phrase "Don't make me angry you won't like me when I am angry". Hot on the heels of the Hulk is Jack Mcgee who believes the Hulk killed David Banner. At the end of each episode we would see David boarding a bus and next week he would have another adventure.The show gave birth to three made for TV movies and two movies. In fact Ang Lee's version of the Hulk annoyed me so much that I refused to see Ed Norton's version. For one thing in Ang Lee's version for some reason David Banner is called Bruce Banner. It is a real shame that the series doesn't get aired on TV these days because I for one would definitely watch it.
