The basic plot defies comprehensible summation. Suffice it to say, there are several opportunities for David to do his transformation act, and for the Incredible Hulk and Thor to whip up some violent action.

[It] provides for an interesting character dynamic as Blake learns responsibility on a parallel track with Thor's heroic quest.

It poorly realizes Thor, and hands us a ton of filler for what is a comeback movie with a paper thin premise.

Speaks volumes about the inevitability of the metamorphosis of hippie to yuppie, as well as the death of a dream that that transformation encompasses.

For the 80's, this was as good as it got and despite its TV movie look, the likeable characters and the absolutely amazing score make up for that. Every transformation is more than satisfying and the atmosphere is, well, incredible! I really enjoy rewatching this one every couple of years and there are particular moments that I tend to revisit more often, like the first transformation and the balcony jump that is complemented by the score in brilliant fashion. Seriously, there aren't many movie soundtracks that got stuck in my head as this one has. You'll definitely agree after watching the movie. Enjoy!

You know with the last few 70's Incredible Hulk movies they nailed it pretty well and I have doubt in my mind that this movie fail. I think this movie was fun and cool for the 80's esthetic and I think the Cinematography is really good. So I would say give this movie a try.
