Summary: Highly Clever, Highly underated, Highly enjoyable
Review: John Carpenter takes a welcome change of pace with this invisible man movie that bring great new ideas to the genre. (best of all being that chevys clothes become invisible too so he doesn't have to walk around naked) Chevy Chase is suprisingly beleivable in the title role and Sam Neil is great as a rouge CIA agent. As you probably quessed, the special effects are also brilliant.

Summary: Eminently Forgettable
Review: Nick Halloway (Chevy Chase) is attending a talk at some scientific-type outfit when there is a nasty accident. Something weird leaks out and next thing, he knows, he's invisible with no idea how to becomes visible again. Matters are made considerably worse by insane CIA-type David Jenkins (Sam Neill) who wants to capture him and use him as an intelligence resource. Matters are made considerably better by Alice (Daryl Hannah) the girl he met just before his accident who comes to his aid.
This very slight movie marks the beginning of the rather sad decline that was the career of John Carpenter in the 1990s. Its tongue is very much in its cheek and it sets out very much to be a comedy thriller. It is at best mildly effective both as comedy and as thriller but as both it is really very slight, throwaway stuff.

Summary: Carpenter's worst is better than most
Review: No, this is NOT John Carpenter's finest hour but even at his worst, he can make a better film than most of the dreck we see today.Chevy Chase plays it straight here (thank god) but it's Sam Neill (playing a nefarious government agent) who steals the show.Like most Carpenter fans, we want ALL of his movies on DVD but Warner Brothers has yet to release this on DVD yet. If you want "Memoirs..." on DVD, please write them a letter and ask for it. Here's their address; Warner Home Video
4000 Warner Blvd.
Burbank, CA 91522

Summary: NOT QUITE A THRILLER OR A COMEDY
Review: The Chevy Chase film, the barely seen MEMOIRS OF AN INVISIBLE MAN (Warner Home Video) was assumed by moviegoers to be a comedy in the tradition of Ghost Busters, is instead a rather serious film that Chase believed would establish him as a dramatic actor. Director John Carpenter's curious adaptation of the Invisible Man concept has cool effects and an unexpected story that is closer to a thriller than a comedy.

Summary: Finally coming to DVD
Review: The last John Carpenter film to be released on DVD, "Memoirs of an Invisible Man" bombed at the box office during it's early 90's theatrical run. Shame too as it's a better film than some think. The special effects were outstanding, and Sam Neill stole the show as the villian. Chevy Chase tries his best but even semi-dramatic roles are just not his thing. The DVD will be 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen (as all Carpenter films should be presented), and will have a behind-the-scenes featurette, outtakes, and the film's trailer. The sad thing is, no Carpenter commentary track. Why Warner Brothers never bothered to ask Carpenter to take part, we can only guess.Buy this DVD and complete your John Carpenter collection!

Summary: Decent all the way
Review: This comedy directed by horror maestro John Carpenter is actually pretty decent. The special effects still look amazing.
The plot is thin, but who cares? It's well acted (it would be better if you're a fan of Chevy Chase) and hilarious in some places. Slows a bit down in the second half but picks up for a good finale.

Summary: A Highly Underated Movie!
Review: This film I consider is the ultimate "Invisible Man" film. Carpenter had alot of grace and love for this film obviously and Chase's portrail of a stock broker turned invisible fugitive was just right. Chase tends to get alot of heckeling for this movie and his performance but this reviewer finds that same performance to be one of great effort (note his quiet aproch to dramatic situations and his fine comic timing to humorious ones). This film I thought had alot more to do with character and emotions than most filmakers would try on an "Invisible Man" project. One thing's for sure....this movie sure beats the heck outta "Hollow Man" (a movie that made the "Invisible Man" into a phsyco plus the whole movie just had a 2nd rate slasher vibe).

Summary: It's better then average movie....
Review: This is actually a pretty good watchable movie, even though it did not so great at the movies, people kind of discovered the picture when it came to video. Fairly simple story, Chevy Chase plays a investment banker who gets exposed to fusion energy and becomes invisable. Daryl Hannah plays a TV/film maker who discovers what happened to him, and falls in love with him (the romance is actually pretty honest and not cliched). There are some good ILM effects work and the ending is not a tragic one like 1941's the Invisable Man where Claude Reins played the part.
Buy and watch it. It's a comedy with a bit of heart,

Summary: Check out this movie!
Review: This is one of Chevy Chase's lost movies. The special effects are great, and the plot keeps your attention. I don't know why so few people have seen it; it truly is an underrated film. Go rent this movie and check it out!
