The original Incredible Hulk series was a popular one. At any rate, from it, five made-for-tv films derived from it, starring Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno as David Banner and the Hulk, respectively. This is one of the tv films, one which was originally two episodes of the tv show which were spliced together, which both told the story of David Banner's quest to get rid of his curse of the green monster, and finding a woman specialist who can help him, and they eventually fall in love with each other. With this film, the Hulk has gained a Frankenstein-like status....Well, at least in the title.
The other films in this series were The Incredible Hulk 1, The Trial of the Incredible Hulk, The Incredible Hulk Returns, and The Death of the Incredible Hulk. They were all pretty good on the tv-movie standards, and they are probably the most successful comic-book on screen attempt Marvel has tried (before Blade, of course). This film is the best of the bunch, with the most story-line. Bixby and Ferrigno are at the top of their games, and the love interest with the doctor is well-written, especially with the Romeo and Juliet-like ending.
Hey, Shakespeare it isn't, but you might as well give it a try. You might like it if you keep your expectations low and decide to watch some nice action and good acting. But don't expect anything too gloriously moving or heart-pacing.
