Classic series but disappointing final boxset
Review date: 2008-11-04 Rating: 6 out of 10
I love this series and so bought this to complete my hulk collection, but agree with the other reviewers it is definitely not worth the price. I also agree that they should have put some extras on. I was hoping they would have put the three tv movies with this so I wouldn't have to buy them separately. What's even more cheeky is that this doesn't even give you a brief description of each episode like the previous seasons. They really should have put season 5 together with season 4 because combined that is only 25 episodes. Also because there is only seven episodes, they have had to put the two discs in two larger cases to fill the outer box up. It's a shame because it doesn't quite look right next to the others.
Five stars for the entire series but one for this final season boxset at full price.

Incredible Hulk-Season 5
Review date: 2008-10-17 Rating: 6 out of 10
Much as I love The Incredible Hulk as as a series, I think the producers of this DVD should be utterly ASHAMED at the absurd pricing for just a mere seven episodes. If it had contained some extras and perhaps the three tv movies, it would be justified, but as it doesn't, paying nearly £30 for this DVD is totally and utterly OUTRAGEOUS and a complete rip-off!!!! As previous mentioned in the other review, it may well be worth waiting until the DVD comes down to a reasonable price more suited to it's content. As Al Murray would say, DVD producers, SHAME ON YOU!!!!
the incredible disappointment

Having bought the other 4 series this was an inevitable purchase. What a con! Seven episodes!! When I opened it, I thought it was missing some discs. What happened? I watched this show as a kid and read once that it commanded an audience of 13million at its peak in the UK. The episodes themselves are of typical standard but I cant help thinking the studio pulled the plug during production. After 82 episodes the formula was looking repetetive and tired. I think the hulk himself deserved more screen time at least. There's certainly no indication of an increase in the budget year on year. This final series didn't even offer a two parter. Having to pay the same ammount for a third of the action is a bit of a liberty. Still, if like me you're a hulk nut, you have to own it I suppose. In hind sight, I'd wait for a price drop!!
