The Death of the Incredible Hulk (1990)

As much as I liked the series I hated this final flick. The acting of Bill Bixby wasn't that good but after all. I admit, it was one of his final acting presentations, He died in 1993 but not only that. The story was very simple and the way it was presented was rather boring.Finally David Banner reveals himself towards Dr. Ronald Pratt. The doctor agrees to help David to control his body and to get the hulk out of his body but there's more going on. Once the experiment is set to help David a spy enters the lab. But here comes what makes it all laughable. David falls in love with the spy. From there on they are both together to solve a problem in which the hulk finally dies.The effects used were very weak this time. When David is in some kind of electric field to make him become the hulk the effects have an early eighties look. Not only that. This time the hulk has blue eyes for no reason at all. I found it a very boring flick but who am i to say that because the production was ready to film 'the rebirth' and 'revenge' of the incredible hulk but Bill died before it could be made. Nevertheless, no suspense here to see only a story about the Stockholm Syndrome.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

The Death of the Incredible Hulk (1990) was not only the last appearance of the Incredible Hulk, but the final role for David Bruce Banner. After years on the run, David has finally made an ultimatum. He'll either cure himself or die trying. The government and other people want the hulk. But will David find a cure and get rid of the green menace once and for all or is this just a dream? You want answers? The watch THE DEATH OF THE INCREDIBLE HULK.Bill Bixby directed this made-for-t.v.-movie. He also stars as the world weary David Banner. Lou Ferrigno reprises his most famous role, The Incredible Hulk. Even though Mr. Bixby has passed on, he'll always be remembered for his role as David B_ _ _!Recommended for die-hard Incredible Hulk fans.

Banner has gone under to try and protect himself and others. He is working as a cleaner in a high-security medical research centre, passing himself as a gentle and rather slow man called David Bellamy (no, really). However, in a Good Will Hunting fashion, Banner is also using the work of Dr Pratt (no, really) to seek a cure for the inner anger living inside him. When Pratt discovers who Banner is, he tries to help him by bringing the cure closer – however an attack on the lab by a Russian espionage group ruin everything, freeing the Hulk and critically injuring Pratt. With Banner and the Hulk as suspects in this crime, David is forced onto the run yet again.Having been quite unimpressed by a previous Hulk movie I was quite glad that this appeared to be going for a darker tone, but really it all still ends up with the Hulk running through walls while banner mopes around the place generally feeling pretty bad about his lot in life. Fans will (probably rightly) complain that I am simplifying things far too much and that this film is tragic and moving but for my money, although it was trying to be this, it just came over as too po-faced and a bit too heavy for the material to actually support. It should be tragic of course, but the writing and delivery just can't do it and it just comes off as plodding rather than emotionally involving. The action is a little restrained but still as corny as the other films – although it is perhaps a sign of the age and budget of the film.The cast don't really help the material because none of them really create people. Bixby perhaps takes too much on and the flaws in his performance run through the whole film. He is too serious without being a real person and this moody tone affects everything else. Ferrigno does try to bring humanity to his Hulk but he has to do it with his eyes and it is a big ask for him – one he can't do. Gracen is poor, Sterling is obvious and Tarbuck is hammy at best. None of them raise the material but then this is a tvm and nothing else.Overall a basic film that tries to get to the heart of a comic book character and create a tragic and moving tale. It fails of course but it deserves credit for at least trying. The cast are too clunky and the dialogue doesn't help them one bit while Bixby's direction has the same overly-serious and overly-moody tone as his performance.

David Bruce Banner has been changing into a monster for twelve years. This has caused him to run. All he wants is a cure. When he is about to get one,a spy destroys his lab. Now Hulk will have to rescue the people who can cure him. We all know Hulk's fate though. I liked this movie because it was full of exciting action scenes. The Hulk is great,and incredible! Har har Lou Ferringo is the Hulk! No questions asked! This is great stuff! See it again,and again. Great movie! 3.5/4
