StuOz The Hulk teams up with another comic book character named Thor.As others have said, fans of the original weekly series - The Incredible Hulk - might struggle a bit with this film as it is clearly not staying in the same dramatic tone as the old show but I personally enjoyed it a lot.Firstly, the Hulk himself now seems stronger and bigger than he did in the past and the character needs to look that way so...great stuff! Secondly, Bill Bixby (David Banner) really struck me as a great actor here, I am sure he was fine in the old show but I don't remember being so impressed with him like I was here.And thirdly, Thor is just a really fun character to have around, in fact the makers of today's superhero movies could learn a thing or two from this under-rated TV movie.In a nutshell: this is a nice light hearted blast!

samwa-27311 I can't believe it.Firstly, I read all user reviews before purchasing this.I can't believe Bill Bixby would allow this.Trite, ridiculous attempt, to incorporate the mythical, and science fiction together.The absurdity of the Thor, and its lack of value to the plot,plus bringing occultic ( channeling) into this, cheapens the entire Hulk brand.I hope I never see that punk with his stupid hammer, again.No wonder... There was no involvement from Kenneth Johnson, who WAS the reason for the show's success.I was looking forward, greatly, to seeing Jack McGee, but he got not much for his script, and Mr. Colvin seemed strained, and almost ashamed of the project.Also, again, no resolution at the end.

Woodyanders Dr. David Banner (an excellent and sympathetic performance by Bill Bixby) joins forces with hearty Viking warrior Thor (a robust and likable portrayal by Eric Kramer) to stop corrupt military man Jack LeBeau (well played with lip-smacking wicked relish by Tim Thomerson) from getting his evil hands on a top secret Gamma Ray transporter. Writer/director Nicholas Corea relates the immensely entertaining story at a snappy pace, makes neat use of plentiful strenuous slow motion, stages the action scenes with flair, and further spruces things up with amusing touches of campy humor (the sequence with Thor visiting a biker bar rates as the definite comic highlight). Moreover, the fine acting from a sturdy cast helps a lot, with especially praiseworthy work by Steve Levitt as Thor's amiable nerdy master Donald Blake, Lee Purcell as Banner's sweet love interest Dr. Maggie Shaw, and Charles Napier as Cajun bad guy Mike Fouche. Of course, Lou Ferrigno is also on hand as the big green guy and Jack Colvin makes the most out of his secondary role as pesky and relentless reporter Jack McGhee. Plus it's just plain fun to see two classic Marvel comic characters together fighting no-gooders in the same picture. Both Chuck Colwell's sharp cinematography and Lance Rubin's spirited score are up to par. Highly recommended viewing for fans of the show.

Pilot_Jetranger I just watched this movie, and was trying to recognize the voice of the announcer, which I determined was Edward Platt. The credits do not list the announcer so I came here hoping to verify my conclusion.Can someone confirm? Overall the movie was entertaining and predictable. There are several problems with the movie:he should have hidden the control unit rather than burning itboth heros seemed impervious to bullets but tranquilizer darts worked - the torn shorts on the Hulk mysteriously became long pants when he returned to be Banner - everything on the Hulk explodes out of his clothes except the top of the pants fit perfectly ... hmmmm
