I only know of one proof of Hilbert 90, which is very smart if not magical. See for example http://hilbertthm90.wordpress.com/2008/12/11/hilberts-theorem-90the-math/

Does anyone know of a more intuitive proof or know a good way to view the proof?

I have accepted the answer by Emerton, great thanks as well to David Speyer and Brian Conrad.
