This is How Movies Should Be Made

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

One of the worst movies I've ever seen

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

"He was green with rage!"Considering that this late-1970s, live-action, superhero, TV series came out prior to the wonders of CGI wizardry - I really did try to cut it some serious slack.But, the truth is - "The Incredible Hulk" was pretty corny stuff and muscleman, Lou Ferrigno (as the Hulk incarnation) looked utterly laughable and, yes, downright silly in that horrible fright-wig of his.Anyway - Judging by how marginally entertaining the episodes of this program's first season were - I do find it truly baffling that "The Hulk" actually endured for 5 seasons in all.

If you remember the 1970s you will perhaps realize that film and television were not the best at distributing comic book adaptations until the year of 1978. This was partially due to the lack of visual effects which would encompass the characters in a realistic setting if they ever to arrive on the big screen."The Incredible Hulk" was one of the first comic adaptations to ever be distributed on the television screen. What could have been laughable television show about a giant green monster strutting around smashing things, instantly became a classic hit when it was deemed a serious and realistic drama for the time.The show follows the compassionate and likable character Dr. David Banner who had been attempting to discover the secrets of human strength after his wife died in a car explosion. Banner is obsessed with finding these answers of hidden strength and ultimately renders himself to unpredictable experiment. He exposes himself to gamma radiation which unfortunately results in a horrifying metamorphosis. Whenever Banner becomes angry or outraged he transforms into massive green monster which we all know and love as the incredible hulk.After the hulk is discovered and pursued by an investigative reporter named Jack McGee, Banner goes on the run hoping to stay hidden until he can find a way to cure himself from his dreadful manifestation I first discovered "The Incredible Hulk" In my teens when I was greatly entertained by comic books. When I first viewed the show I realized that it was different but different in a good way. Yes, the scenes with the hulk are slightly outdated but the story is where you really get involved. The show only features the hulk for about fifteen minutes at most sometimes even less.People I'm acquainted with often complain that the hulk itself does not gain enough screen time. Simply this is because this show is not entirely about the hulk. Its a serious and persuasive drama that tells the story of man who has a condition that he desperately wants to rid himself of. The show may not be entirely faithful to its comic book counterpart but I believe the decision to alter the story line was well apprehended.The hulk in this setting is more realistic and strays away from the comic book cheesiness. I honestly have to admit that this is one of the best live action comic adaptations to date. This show is well remembered and was apart of many people's childhoods. I greatly enjoy this series and I hope you will to.

I faithfully watched this show as a kid and I've come to appreciate it more as an adult.Bill Bixby plays the role of David/Bruce Banner perfectly. As a kid I always wanted to be like him and as an adult I really admire his acting.The only real complaint I have is the action. The Hulk is far from super human in most scenes (he mostly grows and throws chairs, which just about anybody could do). And they use the worst trick in the 70's TV play book; slow motion. The Six Million Dollar Man started it, and The Incredible Hulk copied it, having the Hulk do everything in slow motion. It's less than impressive and actually makes the action scenes less interesting than the conflicts that David/Bruce gets into.But the plots were well written, and the show had a lot of lasting drama that has remained with me years later. Great show.

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.
