And yet, looking at the results of his foray into Green Giant Land, you can't help but appreciate.” Also, Raux is fascinated with the color that was used in the film. Raux mentions “Lee possesses an unparalleled visual style (helped here by DP Frederick Elmes and editor Tim Squyres) which he applies with gusto to Hulk's four-color universe. Rather than centering on the world itself, with its spandex-clad figures and distorted architecture, he conveys the experience of reading a comic book in cinematic terms.” Also Raux discusses the great tools that was used by Hulk in the movie, which in his points of view it attract him more to the film. Raux affirms “The panels on the page become the focus: the connection between the images and the way they pull us through the story. Several films (notably George A. Romero's Creepshow) have toyed with the same concept, but Hulk comes loaded with a staggering array of formalistic tools: split screens, frames within frames, wipe cuts, and fade outs of all varieties.

“the film repeats this scary trauma image every time Bruce has a bit of a hesitation over what to do next”.
