Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
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!
asinyne I wasn't expecting a lot when I picked this up on VHS for less than a buck. Even after I started watching I seriously doubted I would make it through to the end, but I was shocked to find myself really enjoying this rather cool flick. Eric Kramer was a great Thor. He was funny, hunky, and all together a delight. This was his movie to be honest about it although everyone else pitched in admirably as well. Tim Thomerson was a little underused but that is a minor complaint. It was cool to have him along for the ride along with the bad guy from the Blues Brother movie. I also found this movie to be pretty well written. Everything comes together fairly well and the film moves along with a purpose. Another big bonus is all the action, Ferrigno and Kramer get lots of time battling bad guys and each other. I loved the ending when Thor got to throw his hammer at the car. I also loved how he kept calling the Hulk the Troll...that was funny, as were lots of other stuff in the movie. The epilogues were a nice touch with a bit of a bittersweet wrap after all the frantic action. This is a cool super hero movie and you might want to check it out...the effects were pretty good for a late eighties film. Nice! Certainly much better than rated here fer cryin' out loud.
tr_s You may know of the brutal viking god which travels on his wagon and summons thunder, known as Thor. You might also know of the big green strong thingy known as the Hulk.Now can you imagine what a team of those two would look like? A muscly green thingy with supposedly no intelligence together with another muscle-machine from 1000 AD that knows nothing of today's society, and mostly wants to drink mead and beer... I wouldn't have dared to guess myself, all that I can say is that it sums up to a lot of FUN.As a friend of mine said after i lent him the movie: "I haven't had this fun in five years".The acting is excellent, I especially like the guy who plays Thor. It's a sad thing that the great Bill Bixby - who is the main character and also has directed most of the movie isn't with us anymore.A couple of things are worth mentioning though. The movie doesn't sport humor that everybody likes (what movie does that anyway?) and it's a straight-to-video release so don't have too big expectations on the actual picture quality and special FX (clearly drawn with a pen!!) The plot is also a little diffuse at times.But this doesn't sink it down from an "excellent" grade. 10/10, hands down. Others may agree or disagree, but this time I'm the grader!
IrockGswift After six years since its last prime-time show (June 1982) Stan Lee and Nicholas Corea brought back Marvel Comics' strongman "the Incredible Hulk. Though this time David Banner has become the closest ever to be cured. He has a new girlfriend,bumped into a old colleague,and well into his medical career. Unlike in the past he worked odd jobs until his alter-ego was summons. But David banner in this movie has a new life were he doesn't feel he has to runaway anymore. Till an old colleague sneaks into David's job and his trouble begans. David's colleague tells him a story that during his journey up north he discovered a hammer that can summon an old viking hero. As the old viking hero appeared David mis-judged his well-being as being destructive which forced him to become the hulk. That was one of the best scenes in the movie were the hulk and the viking hero (Thor) battle it out. Overall the hulk over-powered Thor and Thor wanted to call a truce. A real Marvel classic!! Now that their fight got some exposure David had to put his plans for a cure on halt till the situation died down. This also brought on the attention of the trailing reportor Jack Mcgee and some bad guys who wanted to take the gamma transponder that David and his colleagues worked on. Since the hulk was seen David had to go back to his old secrecy way of life,and not letting the new relationship with his girlfriend progress. That's until he found a way of permanently curing himself. But matters got worse as the bad guys capture his girlfriend to get to the transponder. Which leaves David to team up with the viking warrior and his master to save Maggie (David's girlfriend). Though they saved her David had to leave because there was to much attention focused on the green creature and his association with his job. A sad ending as in the former prime-time series. Though I enjoyed Thor because of his comical outspoken personality. A great come-back series. But poor David must continue his journey to find a cure and live a normal life he once had.
