At this point the Incredible Hulk has fought just about everyone in the Marvel universe a couple of times over, here he gets to fight two - Wolverine and Thor, though as another viewer pointed out the Hulk seems to take a back seat to the other two characters.
The first segment is loosely based on the very first Hulk/Wolverine match up that introduced Wolverine into the Marvel universe way back in the 1970s. We find a pre-X-Men Wolverine being dispatched to hunt down the Hulk after the Hulk apparently destroyed a small Canadian town. After the much hyped fight, they get captured by the real villains from the Weapon X Program that made Wolverine into what he is now. Long story short: Hulk & Wolvie bust loose and tear up the bad guys before getting back to their own fight.
The 2nd segment finds Thor's arch enemy/relative Loki capturing the Hulk, separating Hulk from his Banner persona, and then using the Bannerless Hulk to attack Thor during the Odinsleep - when their dad King Odin is in a cycle of rest - & then conquer Asgard, with a little help from the busty blonde Amora the Enchantress, who is driven by a broken heart at having been rejected by Thor in favor of Sif. Truly Hell hath no fury like a hot Asagardian scorned. Ultimately, Thor has to brow beat Loki into helping clean up the mess he started.
Overall: I wasn't impressed with the animation, which looks like it was inspired somewhat by the super square, angular look of the DCAU productions (I love DC and enjoyed the DCAU shows for the writing & voice acting, but I can't stand the animation). On the plus side, the voice acting is top notch: Steve Blum does a great job as Wolverine, while Graham McTavish & Nolan North (formerly Giant Man of the Ultimate Avenger DVDs and Cyclops for "Wolverine & The X-Men") give scene stealing turns as Loki & Deadpool, respectively. I have some mixed feelings towards Matt Wolf as Thor - although he sounded very noble & heroic, his voice didn't have quite as much power or force as I would expect Thor to have, something that previous Thors John Rhys Davies & David Boat did very well (another Thor actor, Michael Adamthwaite of Next Avengers, appears he as well as Balder the Brave).
The action sequences are impressive, though Thor seems to get beaten a bit too easily in the first fight. Yes, I know, it was the savage Hulk, but Thor seemed to give up after his initial lightning attack, making no real effort to use strategy over brute force and most of Asgard's inhabitants didn't fair much better. And these are centuries old beings who have fought just about every monstrosity there is!
Still, worth a look for fans. Hulk fans will truly relish watching their not so jolly green giant destroy everything in his path.
