Summary: Makes the whole TV show pointless.
Review: There was really not much point in doing this movie aside from the fact that it was not supposed to be the last Hulk TV movie ever made. Returns and Trial were basically plots for Thor and Daredevil to have their own shows (but these were never picked up). The title says it all. Dr. David Banner makes one last effort to rid himself of his green alter-ego, The Hulk even though the cure might destroy him because it involves his brain cells. Terrorists foil the plot, and they spend the rest of the movie where Banner and the Hulk find romance and then the final act and they are lying on the airport tarmat dying. (Done for pure shock entertaiment value only). There was no dignity in it, and it makes the whole 1978 to 1982 Tv show pointless. (They were planning another TV movie where the Hulk would have been revived with additional gamma rays (Similar to how they often revived the Frankenstein monster). But Bill Bixby passed away in 1993, and it was never done. Sad way to end things and it's perhaps better that we forget this whole series at all, it was never about the Hulk as seen in comics.

Summary: The last wel'll see of the Hulk for awhile
Review: There were recently plans for a feature film where the Hulk would be computer-animated, but this project was cancelled, sadly enough.

Summary: The Death Of The Incredible Hulk
Review: This final Incredible Hulk telemovie finds David Banner(Bill
Bixby)working as a janitor in a radiation lab were he trys
to find a cure for his condition.Unfortuanly for Banner terrorist
find out and pursue the Hulk and David Banners girlfriend.
The Hulk is killed out in this movie when a helicoptor or
airplane he is own explodes or he is pushed out I forget
which.Anyway he falls to his death and than changes back
to David Banner.Banner than smiles with tears in his eyes
and says he is cured and than dies.This was a sad movie
but it was a great one to.This dvd will be a barebones disc
but is worth buying for the movie itself and also to go with
the incredible hulk collection,the incredible hulk original
pilot and hopefully the Hulk movie(2003)which will street
hopefully in the Fall of this year on dvd.Hopefully we will
get a nice clean crisp transfur on this disc.

Summary: Why Mono?
Review: This Fox DVD has a Mono soundtrack - Why? Rhino issued this on vhs tape about ten years ago with a 2.0 matrix surround soundtrack which is / was pretty good and full of presence. The tapes' running time was also a tad longer that the DVD's.... You can't beat a good story though, even though we are not getting the full 100% of this TVM on the DVD.....

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good conclusion of the Hulk's adventures
Review: This movie is more serious than the 2 first (incredible Hulk returns; Trial of the Incredible Hulk) It retrieves all the series atmosphere we used to know in the late '70'S and early '80'S: the Drama. In this final(? ) adventure David Banner tries to find a cure of his transformations in Hulk and enlists the help of a old collegue to help him, but a group of spies is interrested about the researchs of Banner's collegue.There is going to be repercussions in David,s cure but which one ? After this movie, there was supposed to be a sequel called"the rebirth of the Incredible Hulk" but unfortunately, Bill Bixby died and the project was stopped. Then, the Tv-Hulk his dead for good. There is another project for a Big screen movie where the Hulk will be made by computer. this movies will follow the comics book adventures instead of the TV-adventures.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Farewell to the Hulk
Review: This was by far the best of the three post-series movies, as it came closest to capturing the feel of the original series, yet it still had it's problems. Firstly, the Hulk fell from a great height in the original series episode "Freefall" and lived, but was killed by a fall in this movie?? Maybe it was the combination of the plane exploding and that fall that actually killed him, but it still seemed unbelievable. The second problem was not having Jack McGee included in the movie. Being that the movie was the end of the Hulk, it almost seemed sacriligeous not to have Jack there at the end. Now I understand there were plans to do another Hulk movie after that (The Rebirth of the Hulk, or something along those lines), but Bill Bixby's illness prevented it from ever being produced. Too bad, since I would have liked to see what they had planned. Overall though, this is a fairly decent Hulk movie, and worth the watch if your a Hulk fan.

The DVD includes nothing in the way of extras for the movie itself, but does offer trailers to Daredevil, the two X-Men movies, and the Planet of the Apes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Incredible ending ...too bad there wasn't a sequel
Review: Unlike a lot of reviews I think it could have went on without Bill Bixby. Couldn't Banner have plastic surgery to keep the authorities off his trail? I was hoping that Lou Ferrigno would have thought of this idea because as a TV movie it still could have held up. I would have liked to see the screenplay for the sequel. I wonder if it's available on the web. I would have loved to have seen what Bixby had intended for future movies. It's too bad that this didn't go on because the TV movies were better than a lot of the series. It was basically hit or miss for the four and a half years they were on the air. With the TV movies the stakes were higher and the quality was better. The Hulk in the TV movies seemed to be more like the one in the comic and I have to say dispite all the CGI in the world the movie won't match what Bixby did in the series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sad but good movie
Review: Well it all ended here for fans of the TV Series and Bill Bixby's attempt to resurrect it in sequel movies (a la Perry Mason Returns, etc.). This was the 3rd sequel film to the series, and as I stated before should have been released with the other 2 which are sold together on the Anchor Bay label (although I recently noticed near my home that some cheap dvd maker has made separate copies). This film of the 3 that didn't bring other comic characters to compliment the story, and as it happened, it didn't need them. It told a good story to finish what the pilot episode (also on DVD on the Universal label) started. Buy this with the 2 pack, the pilot and the special 6 pack and hulk out all you want. Then for a more modern appproach buy the 2003 movie too.:-)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An ending.
Review: Well, this is it. The final epsiode to one of the most famus prime time TV series and the best epsiode(Movie) sence the first.
These was not supose to be the end. They were writting a script for something called the rebrirth of the increadble hulk. Sadly,
Bill Bixby died before that could happen. The cartoon and movie imataters never lived up to this. It's about David Banner(Bill Bixby) still looking for a cure and final finding one while visting his old friend. A great final epsiode. Well worth it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Works very well...
Review: When I originally saw this on television, I was truly fascinated by it. A lot of people were disappointed because they thought it would go the route of simply getting rid of the HULK rather than killing off David Banner, too. But I thought it was well done--a honest way to go to say this is the end. (Of course, I was ready for any possible RESURRECTIONS. Though I am glad they never came to be...it is sad that Bill Bixby died, but how many times do we have to be faked out by an ending before we say ENOUGH ALREADY?) Though I understand that many things were left unresolved during the series. And this does not wrap any of those things up either.
