Review: |
In this, the last of three television
movies that carried on the storyline of the "Incredible Hulk"
series, Dr. David Banner (Bill Bixby) has had enough of his
monstrous alter-ego, and decides to put a stop to his rage
by enlisting the help of a research doctor (Philip Sterling)
in charge of a government laboratory. The axe in their plan
comes when a foreign spy (Barbara Tarbuck) shows up demanding
their ideas in exchange for a ransom that puts Banner on the
spot. Fans of the show as well as the first two movies will
delight in seeing Bixby and Ferrigno back in action, while
the story is far better than most TV fare, and the cast does
well with their roles.

and Sound |
The fullframe
transfer for "The Incredible Hulk" has its fair share of ups
and downs. First of all, colors look a bit subdued in places,
and although there isn't much in the manner of bleeding, they
don't look too great. Contrast is fair to poor, with shadow
detail that is in need of a tune-up. Clarity isn't the best,
either, with edges that appear soft in places, while there
is a terrific abundance of film grain that just looks bad.
***
The sound
is mastered in Dolby 2.0 Mono, and isn't much to marvel over,
either. Dialogue is fairly decent-sounding, while sound effects
are harsh and unfocused. Nothing special.

| Final
Words: |
While
fans will delight in owning this DVD for the movie itself, that's
really about all I can say in its favor. |
