To paraphrase the Green Goliath himself, Buena Vista's Incredible Hulk DVD is a smash, providing 83 minutes of exciting sci-fi with enough action to satisfy Hulk novices, and scripting that hews to its Marvel Comics origin to please longtime devotees. The DVD compiles the first four episodes of the 1996-97 animated series, which outline the Hulk's origins, as well as the struggles of his human alter ego, Bruce Banner, to rid himself of the creature. The episodes also make fine use of Marvel's rosters of heroes and villains; in the two-part "Return of the Beast," the Hulk tangles with the Leader, the Gargoyle, and the hideous Abomination, while in "Raw Power," he's up against the malevolent ZZZAX; and in "Helping Hand, Iron Fist," he goes mano-a-mano with Iron Man and War Machine. Terrific performances (TV Hulk Lou Ferrigno provides the creature's voice) and extensive extras make this DVD a must-have for comic and cartoon aficionados. --Paul Gaita

4.0 out of 5 stars A Reasonably Complete Look At The Animated Hulk, June 23, 2003

By	Chon-ny "Your Sensei's Sensei" - See all my reviews

This disc showcases the first four episodes of what I believe was a 13-episode single season (which wasn't followed up). The art is passable, above the level of GI Joe and Transformers, and closer to the animation in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ghostbusters or (if you remember this) Dino Riders series. The episodes are self-containing and don't really branch out and connect to other episodes (other than the two-part "Beast" story). There are other supporting characters other than the Hulk shown in this series, which makes it an interesting mix.

The extras are definitely worth your while. The 1966 clip is hilarious, especially in comparison to the recent movie and this DVD. Pay attention to the inappropriately paced and melodied opening theme song and the art, basically stills with large "Pow!" and "Bam!" type sound effects layed over, or shifting eyes. The trivia and the Stan Lee Soapbox should keep you entertained for a good 15 to 25 minutes, which also goes for the interview with writer Peter David.

At the end of your viewing session, you'll have a more complete understanding of what the Hulk is about and how things about the Hulk have evolved, kind of like a mini-documentary. Recommended for Hulk fans, 80s thru 90s cartoon afficionados, but not so much for anime fans or those who were disappointed by the live movie and have only a little Hulk knowledge.

3.0 out of 5 stars First Four Episodes of the 1996-97 Series, June 11, 2003

By	Chon-ny "Your Sensei's Sensei" - See all my reviews

This is a collection of the first four episodes of the 13-episode Incredible Hulk series from 1996-97. That said, you should be able to imagine the art and voice levels for this DVD. Funny enough, Lou Ferrigno of the 1970's series provides the Hulk's voice.

The art is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/ Ghostbusters/ Spider-Man/ Captain Planet-level. It's decent, but the Hulk looks more like an aging Frankenstein (his face comes off as pouty instead of mad most times). The series opens with the two-part "Return of the Beast," followed by "Raw Power" and "Helping Hand Iron Fist."

Hulk faces Abomination, The Leader and Gargoyle in the earlier episodes, and the more familiar War Machine and Iron Man in the last of the four.

A decent series that was cut off and never had true closure.
