You were right, it was much better than the reviews. I thought the use of washes, split screens and superimpositions was terrific. Way better than anything Robert Aldrich ever did. I want to watch the film again to see how some of the transitions were done. For example, in one scene Bruce Banner flips open some venetian blinds to see evil government agents outside. He shuts them briefly and, when he re-opens them, we see Betty Ross in the lab.

I agree that the childhood trauma thing is overdone. The Oedipal thing, however overblown it seemed to me, made John my nine year old climb into my bed that night for the first time ever. I think the images of the knife in the hand of David Banner, together with the little Bruce Banner, together with the green mushroom cloud really did him in, though he won't admit it to me.
