The Incredible Hulk: Original Television Premiere (DVD, 2003)

Bill Bixby, Susan Sullivan, Jack Colvin and Lou Ferrigno are good actors, but the special effects are cheesy. A car does not explode because you turned it over and it rolled down a hill 3 times. A television does not explode into a ball of fire because you throw a chair at it. Of course people don't change into green monsters but that is what the plot was about so it's ok with me. Overall I enjoyed this movie. I purchased it because I grew up watching the Incredible Hulk in the 1980's. I have the pilot episode on VHS, but VHS tapes are going the way of 8 tracks and 45's. This DVD contains a bonus of the episode "Married" which shows a happier side of David Banner as he is happily cracking jokes with his wife. Of course in both the episode and the pilot movie, they depict David losing his wife, the first being Laura Banner when they flip over their 1973 Pontiac Grand Am (it catches fire over the rear axle where there's nothing to ignite a fire and on the side of the car where there's nothing to ignite a fire...again it's cheesy and unreal) and when David's wife dies of a terminal illness....it really makes you feel sorry for the guy.

This is a good choice if you liked the original Incredible Hulk TV series. My 2-yr-old grandson is very fond of the current Incredible Hulk with all the special effects. He seemed a little confused when he saw the original Hulk. I must agree with my grandson, the special effects associated with the 2008 version of the Hulk is more exciting, but the trip down memory lane is worth it.

I liked this movie partly because it was a blast from my past and I remember loving the movie and the series. The movie was good and I do recommend it for those of you who remember the the movie but it didn't seem to cover a great deal in the short time it had. I guess I was wanting more info (like from the series. I wasn't disappointed but it made me want to find out if the series is on DVD so I could keep going.

very informative I have always enjoyed the incredible hulk series & this dvd helps complete my set. The price & condition were great!!!

Very good >
