BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

AaronCapenBanner Bill Bixby is back again, not only acting(very well as usual) but directing as well, and the opening is quite promising, and captures the feel of the TV series nicely, but once David Banner enters the city, and gets involved with a blind lawyer who turns out to be...Daredevil, the whole thing falls apart. Fine actor John Rhys Davies plays sinister gangster the Kingpin, and it makes you sad to think that New York is still plagued by these powerful criminals, even after the Hulk cleaned up the city back on the TV series! Daredevil is presented in a bland, uninspired way, and this film, like it's immediate predecessor, lacks soul, since Kenneth Johnson was once again not involved. Daredevil is at least plausible(unlike Thor) but film is lifeless, despite the fine performances of Bill Bixby & Lou Ferrigno.

Woodyanders Dr. David Banner (superbly played by Bill Bixby, who also directed) gets jailed for assault after stopping two men from terrorizing a woman on the subway. Banner's shrewd blind lawyer Matt Murdock (a fine performance by Rex Smith) turns out to be vigilante superhero Daredevil, who enlists Banner's assistance in taking out arch criminal Wilson Fisk (John Rhys-Davis in top-rate smoothly villainous form). Bixby, working from an earnest and engrossing script by Gerald Dipego, relates the compelling story at a steady pace, maintains a serious tone throughout, and stages the action set pieces with a reasonable amount of flair and competence (a nightmare sequence with the Hulk trashing a courtroom rates as the definite exciting highlight). Moreover, the teaming up of two classic Marvel superheroes is both interesting and inspired, plus the Hulk (intensely portrayed with growly menace by Lou Ferrigno) seems more fearsome and dangerous than ever. Bixby and Smith display a natural and engaging chemistry in the leads, with sturdy support from Nancy Everhard as Murdock's smitten partner Christa Klein, Marta DuBois as the frightened Ellie Mendez, Nicholas Hormann as Fisk's cowed henchman Edgar, and Joseph Mascolo as hard-nosed police chief Albert G. Tendelli. Both Chuck Colwell's sharp cinematography and Lance Rubin's melodic and melancholy score are up to speed. Worth a watch for fans of the series.

Rautus I watched The Trial of the Incredible Hulk on TV a while ago and I actually liked it, I've seen it three times now. The film focuses a little more on Matt Murdock and his alter ego Daredevil then David Banner and the Hulk manly because this film was going to start the Daredevil TV show. The film sees David Banner moving from another place again and heads to New York for a place to stay while trying to find a way to stop the transformations, meanwhile a diamond heist is done and two of the thieves go on a train with Banner on, one of them decides to rape the young women on the train and after attacking Daivd he changes and attacks them both then runs off and changes to Banner but the police find him and arrest him thinking he did it. In prison he meets blind lawyer Matt Murdock who tells him that the women Ellie claimed he tried to rape her, David explains that he wants to stay in prison. Matt then goes to Ellie and talks to her and she lies to him then he leaves. One of nurses working for Wilson Fisk also know as the Kingpin is told to kill her and that night when she goes to Daredevil shows up and stops her.Wilson Fisk then comes up with a plan to kidnap Ellie to lure Daredevil then ambush him and defeat him. He also wants David Banner killed so in prison a sharp object is passed to his cell where the prisoner has to kill him but suddenly he's told that he needs to see someone. David Banner meets the Captain who tells him what's going on then he goes into his cell again. Ellie is soon kidnapped by one of the Kingpin's men, Matt then tells David that he needs to go to trial but after a nightmare of what could happen David changes into the Hulk and escapes. Daredevil then finds David's apartment and asks him to come with him at first he doesn't want to but Daredevil shows him who he really is and they go to his house where he explains to him how he became blind and how he can see sound like a radar. He then asks David to help him find Elley and stop Wilsom Fisk, he's given a possible location by the Captain and goes their where he finds Ellie but also gets ambushed by Kingpin's men and gets beaten up buy suddenly David changes into the Hulk and beats them, then Daredevil sees what happens to David. AFter recovering from his injuries Daredevil and David go to Wilson Fisks tower to rescue Ellie and stop the Kingpin.The Trial of the Incredible Hulk is a pretty good TV movie that fans of the Hulk, Daredevil and the TV show should enjoy. 10/10

Bjorn (ODDBear) David is charged with murder and Matt Murdock (aka The Daredevil) is the lawyer who's handling his case. Then the big green dude and the blind justice seeker join forces to fight The Kingpin.Ahhhhh, if you thought The Incredible Hulk Returns was a bit on the silly side, you won't think that so much after watching this. The Daredevil scenes are just painful to watch. Rex Smith isn't bad as Murdock/Daredevil but he's just too damn silly when he's fighting the good fight. John Rhys Davies is horrible as The Kingpin who here comes off even worse than Daredevil.What's worst here is that The Hulk plays second fiddle to the blind lawyer, not even appearing in the (overly silly) climax. This was originally an attempt to launch a series for Daredevil and it's obvious why it didn't take off.Bill Bixby for the first and only time looks disinterested in the proceedings. This movie has "half hearted" written all over it. The Hulk action is unspectacular (apart from one dream sequence) but Ferrigno nevertheless looks great.I just hope this was something Bixby had to do before venturing into the last installment which ended the Hulk saga on a high note.
