Very funny to put Hulk in the title but actually make a Daredevil film. Also feels odd to watch a Marvel film that looks this amateurish. The fight scenes have this "dude filming in his backyard" vibe and it's so damn funny to watch. Narratively I don't think there's much going on. The title would make you think there's some interrogation into Banner's character but the court room scene is like 40 seconds long and nothing happens. Daredevil stuff is basic fluff, doesn't have much bite to it.

Given the limited action available to a TV movie in 1989, this isn't as bad as 1 might expect - esp Daredevil, who sticks surprisingly close to the comics for the time period. & although Bixby's forte as a director isn't directing action, he does capture the darkness inside & outside of the characters well. The problems are in the script which surprisingly generally makes sense, but throws in a ridiculous romance, lacks any Thor-like fun & denies us both the Hulk & closure in the climax.

The second Hulk team up movie this time with the Daredevil. Not bad, pretty fun but nothing special a disappointment after the awesomeness that was The Incredible Hulk Returns.

Superior to either of the recent films, as it doesn't complicate the fun of The Hulk with existential crises, or overload you with action. It's also much better than Daredevil and tells the exact same story as that film. If you liked the show, you'll enjoy this movie.
