Masterful Cinema

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Animated television series based on the comic superhero, the Incredible Hulk, a green-skinned monster that fights villains only when he becomes activated by Dr. Banner's anger. Despite some good and well sure solid moments like the animation and the opening song of the show 'The Incredible Hulk' has elements that it doesn't use to well like the storylines which are kinda cheesy and the monster within Banner just simply doesn't work on a cartoon scale and that is kinda disappointing although this series is better than other Hulk shows. (5/10)

The majority of the people who reviewed this show seem to have not been paying attention. Not only is Hulk not the star, he doesn't even really need to be in any of these stories. He shows up at exactly 20 minutes into every episode and saves the day in some ridiculous way. For some reason Rick is a cowboy with a mexican girlfriend and all the stories center around her dad and his restaurant. The stupid changes don't even matter, the stories are just bad. This is not the best Marvel or even the best Hulk cartoon. The 1966 series was better.

Broadcast in 1982, this animated series of "The Incredible Hulk" is up there as being amongst the best of the bunch. The show did the right thing by including an episode that explains how fate intervened in the life of Dr. Bruce Banner the way it did. That particular episode is very faithful to the original comic book issue, as is the series as a whole. Stan Lee adds a great deal to the proceedings by adding various voice-overs to the episodes. Who better for the job than the man who is responsible for most of these classic superheroes existing in the first place? The action comes thick and fast!

Though I found, the 1996 animated series the most visually superior, the 1982 series was visibly created with a lot of effort by its animators and it clearly shows a labor of love.Make no mistake, each of the episodes(13 in all) have a captivating storyline. Incredibly in the pilot episode of the series, Hulk battles Dr. Octopus, who is normally linked to Spider-man.And in the second episode, Bruce drinks an ancient potion that cures him completely! It is a shame that only 13 episodes were made.Episode Guide: 1.
