The Trial of the Incredible Hulk

I loved this interpretation of the Hulk and adding kingpin. The acting by bill bixby as well as by Rex Smith is amazing. Even though the kingpin is not bald or strong fighter like in the comics, they got the message across how powerful a crime lord he was. The only thing was the attack in the subway car. If I was a crime lord and two of my guys pulled a stunt like they did on Ellie Mendez, and it goes double if not triple after committing the jewelry robbery, I would have had those two dismissed, mafia style because they brought too much attention to Wilson Fisk. Also, the guy with the black hair seemed more professional of the two guys yet he never tried to restrain his partner during the attack on Ellie Mendez? That part I didn't understand. Of course, if this didn't happen there would be no movie.

Second TV movie after the cancellation of the Incredible Hulk series holds well. In this film Bruce Banner heads to New York still trying to find a cure for his transformation spells into the Hulk. In the process he is arrested for the attempted rape of a young woman in a subway (in fact he actually helped her). He is given Matt Murdock as his lawyer and with the help of his alter-ego Daredevil he sets out to prove his innocence and rescue the woman who has been kidnapped. As part of a plan to release a Daredevil TV show Universal thought it would be good to see if audiences will enjoy Daredevil. Oh well the show never went further than this, but it still is a pretty good original appearance for Daredevil. Followed by The Death of the Incredible Hulk. 3 1/2 OUT OF 5 STARS.

This is essentially a daredevil movie, but I really liked it. It's low budget , but gets the spirit of the comics. I always liked the guy who played Banner (sorry can't remember his name)in the TV series, he was easy to sympathize with. Haven't been able to bring myself to watch the recent daredevil or hulk films. Stan Lee criticized the movie because of daredevils costume and a few other things, but frankly for the budget (and all the early marvel movies were low budget with an oddly 1970's feel),the director and cast have managed very well. As for Fisk/Kingpin being bald, frankly no one could actually look like the giant bald guy portrayed in the comics, also don't remember anyone commenting about gene hackman playing Lex Luther in the superman movies (he is revealed to be wearing a toupee at the end of one movie)
