Movie Reviews of The Incredible Hulk: The Complete Second Season
Movie Review: The Hulk at its best!
Summary: 5 Stars
While season one of The Incredible Hulk was rushed by CBS and at times stumbled in trying to find its groove, season two establishes a formula that remains constant for the duration of season two's 22 episodes.
Gone are the days of Banner getting his butt kicked, or being tied up and thrown into a pit, or combine, or wrestling cage. Instead, Banner's life is threatened maybe once or twice this season, and the majority of these episodes deal with Banner helping someone in peril: a woman with a debilitaing illness (Married), an alcoholic (Alice in Disco Land), and a derranged writer (No Escape).
While most of the episodes end with The Hulk exacting revenge on several of his tormentors, "A Child In Need" focuses on one individual whom The Hulk teaches quite a lesson. An episode leftover from season one, "A Child in Need" was almost not aired by CBS at the time due to its rather sensitive content (child abuse). In the end, The Hulk gives the episode's antagonist a taste of his own medicine. No multiple bad guys, no police, just The Hulk and his adversary mono y mono. The end result is perhaps the most powerful scene in the entire five year run of the show that still strikes an emotional cord 30 years later.
The only real less than stellar episodes for the season are "Wildfire," "A Solitary Place," and the season finale "Vendetta Road." By the end of this season, The Hulk's TV popularity was unquestionable. Although there are some exceptional episodes from seasons three and four, this was as good as The Hulk would get as far as overall season quality goes. For the 1979-80 season, the writers began to tinker with the formula, and the results were sometimes less than spectacular.
Movie Review: The complete second season is awesome, can't wait for the third!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved watching the Incredible Hulk when I was a kid, and it is awesome that the complete seasons are now being made available. It was worth the wait, and I hope that future seasons will be released sooner. Movie Review: hulk fan
Summary: 5 Stars
Second Season is argubly the strongest. The episodes deal with social issues such as terminal illness, mental illness, alcohol, child abuse, and race. Some of best episodes from season two are A Child In Need, Alice In Discoland, Killer Instinct, The Haunted, Married and Mystery Man.
I look forward to the release of this in July.
Movie Review: With Married, Mystery Man. Best Hulk season ever.
Summary: 5 Stars
Incredible Hulk season 2 is best Hulk season ever , in my opinion. Yes, season 1 had two part pilot movie and many classic episodes. (Hulk breaks Las Vegas is my personal favorite) Season 3 is another great season but weaker efforts are some of the worst Hulk episodes ever. Season 4 is possibly second best season for Incredible Hulk series. You have two part classic episode PROMETHEUS and another memorable two parter THE FIRST is also one of season 4's highlights. But, no other season can't touched season 2. This season had two of the best Hulk episodes ever and other episodes are all noteworthy and some of them is truly incredible.
Season 2's highlights are two two-part episodes. MARRIED is most emotional Hulk episode, and this is indeed touching, unforgettable episode. Also, this episode was Emmy-award winner (best actress category for tv series) I love this episode. Another two parter MYSTERY MAN is one of the best episodes in entire Hulk series. David Benner and Jack Mcgee met and their weird situations really progressed, viewer never expecting what happen will be next, and results are truly memorable. Don't miss this essential episode.
Season 2 had many more one hour classic episodes. A CHILD IN NEED, STOP THE PRESSES (also appearing as a bonus feature for Hulk season 1 dvd set), ALICE IN DISCO LAND are all entertaining, sometimes very touching episodes. But, actually there're no weaker efforts in season 2. Entire season is full of well-made, well-written episodes. And, without a doubt season 2 is my choice for best Incredible Hulk season.
Season 1 is great collection and quality is very good. I hope season 2 is same kind of high quality product, and very happy episodes like MARRIED, MYSTERY MAN and A CHILD IN NEED are finally releasing dvd collection. Thanks for reading.
