Before the war.

Planet Hulk.

Hulk is transported to a warring alien planet and is forced to become a gladiator and eventually becomes the peoples saviour.

This cartoon is based on the series of the same name, which I own and I must recommend.

The Plot:

Hulk was supposed to be transported to peaceful uninhabited world by Reed Richards, Iron Man and Dr. Strange, but Hulk took a fit, after he learned of the other heroes betrayal, and broke the controls and landed on warring planet.

He gets captured and is forced to fight. Of course Hulk smashes everyone in his path and soon becomes a hero and saviour of the world.

The cartoon is the same story with a few differences. In the cartoon, we only see Iron man and Strange talking to Hulk – telling him he’s be exiled. Also in the cartoon Hulk ends up fighting Beta Ray Bill (Thor character – he’s wicked), but in the Comic it is Reed Richards (Mr Fantastic) who tells Hulk his fate, and Hulk ends up fighting Silver Surfer, not Beta Ray Bill.

I think fox (or whoever) owns the Fantastic Four guys so they couldn’t use Surfer or Reed. Dry.

This was a good cartoon and good summery of what happened in the comic, but A LOT was cut out. Like really A LOT – enough to say pick up the trade paper back of this and don’t rely on the movie for the story.

But as a cartoon movie, it was good!

3.5/5
