Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

alexanderdavies-99382 Broadcast in 1982, this animated series of "The Incredible Hulk" is up there as being amongst the best of the bunch. The show did the right thing by including an episode that explains how fate intervened in the life of Dr. Bruce Banner the way it did. That particular episode is very faithful to the original comic book issue, as is the series as a whole. Stan Lee adds a great deal to the proceedings by adding various voice-overs to the episodes. Who better for the job than the man who is responsible for most of these classic superheroes existing in the first place? The action comes thick and fast!

Joseph P. Ulibas The Incredible Hulk (1982) was an NBC children's saturday morning cartoon. The show followed the comic book story for the most part. But the real problem that has been bothering me for the longest time was that whenever Dr. Bruce Banner turned into the Incredible Hulk how in the hell did his clothes and shoes re-materialize? I mean you see the poor guy morph into the green brute but whenever he transformed back into the good doctor, his pants are nice and creased and the shoes are nice and shinny. Besides the faults and little errors between the comic book and the cartoon story lines it's an okay show. I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it however.No wonder he'd incredible. Believe it or not that has bothered me for the longest time. I guess it's one of the mysteries of life. Like why does every football game you play, the computer is down by 56 points and there's 30 seconds left in the game. When they finally score a touchdown not only do they go for the two point conversion but they try the onside kick-off?Average stuff.C

Bats_Breath So far, this '80s Hulk series remains the best animated Hulk series ever produced. Like all '80s animated series, this show had the BEST MUSIC ever. The music is basically similar to the two '80s Spider-Man cartoons. The mid-'90s Hulk series had better animation, but the stories just flat out sucked. The '90s series was not consistent either, as it had Banner going through several different annoying Hulk phases. And the worst thing about the '90s was how much air time was given to the stupid She-Hulk.The '80s series perfectly captured what the Hulk was about. Betty Ross was in it, Rick Jones was in it, and the Hulk was being chased by the army led by General Ross and his "Hulk Busters". This series also correctly portrayed the Hulk as a brute savage with VAST superhuman strength, opposed to the '70s TV series with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno. In that '70s/early '80s TV series, Ferrigno's Hulk just had some superhuman strength on the power scale of Spider-Man. This '80s animated Hulk was like the comic book Hulk. He could land on a tank and smash it, throw cars, tanks, planes and boats with ease, flick missiles with just his pinky, and cause the ground to rumble by 'smashing it'. The Hulk's power is on the scale of Superman's, probably more so since the "madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk becomes!!" But as much of a brute and dumb savage as the Hulk is, he is still influenced by Dr. Bruce Banner's good natured persona. So the Hulk never intentionally hurts or kills anyone. But the series still hints that Banner and his wild experiments with gamma radiation might make him more dangerous then the Hulk ever could be. The animation isn't as stupid as the laughable '60s cartoon, where some lazy artists put a still photo drawing of the Hulk onto a comic book background and had him "move". This '80s series had animation that is decent and at least watchable. Pretty typical of '80s Saturday morning cartoons anyway, kinda cheap looking, but not so distracting and stupid as '60s and '70s cartoons as to be totally unwatchable.The only really stupid part of this series was how Bruce Banner's clothes mysteriously morphed back to him whenever he changed from the Hulk back to Banner. That was hard to swallow even when I was 6 years old. I guess that was done to keep Banner's "secret identity" from General Ross and the military, which would always be called into question if he is routinely found walking around without his shirt and wearing only ripped pants. If you can overlook that, and the somewhat kiddie nature of this series,(it was obviously aimed at people 9 and under) then you will enjoy this show. The stories were simply fantastic. The only thing the '90s series had over this one was more maturity and better animation.

Nic_hse The 1982 Incredible Hulk cartoon series was apart of the saturday morning "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends\Incredible Hulk hour" on NBC. The Hulk however, was more faithful to the comics than Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends. The animation quality was great and on par with the other Marvel cartoons of that era (Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, Transformers, GI.Joe, Defenders of the Earth, Inhumanoids, Visionaries, Gem, etc.). The art style and animation quality hold up well even today; and in my opinion is slightly better than the 1996 Hulk cartoon.The story line was faithful to what was arguably the best years of the Hulk comics; the years before the Hulk had Banner's mind. The Hulk is supposed to be a savage monster and that's what makes the 1982 series more enjoyable than the 1996 cartoon. If you can find this cartoon, and your a fan of the Hulk, this one is worth checking out. It's the best Incredible Hulk cartoon so far.
