I never liked the hulk when i was a kid collecting comic books - so never watched this movie until i was a lot older.
What first hooked me was the human story of David Banner, brilliantly played by Bill Bixby. Having lost his wife in a car accident, David Banner is obsessed with stories of people in similar situations with loved ones in danger and how they found some sort of superhuman strength to save them.
David Banner not having done this with his own wife is tortured by this fact and wants to know why he couldn't and these other people could. These tests obviously lead him into becoming the hulk. David Banner is already a man in the grip of sadness before he becomes the hulk and it becomes more painful as the situation gets out of control and he begins to hurt everyone he comes into contact with.
Lets just say the end with the lonely theme is just great and for TV movie holds some punch. A real tragic story that will for me always be the definitive story of the hulk.
