Summary: The Hollow Movie
Review: A group of Scientist discover the secret to turning invisable, they test on animals all the time and the results are always good. But then the boss Sabastian turns himself invisable something goes wrong, the syrum to turn him back to normal only works on animals and won't work on him. As the days go by Sabastian goes a little crazy, he finds it hard to sleep because his eye lids are transperent. Getting a little bit bored being trapped in the lab he desides to go outside. Pretty soon he goes a little bit more crazy and traps the other scientest inside the lab and begins to kill them off one by one. Ok, the one thing I can honestly say is I tried HARD to enjoy The Hollow Man, I thought it had a great idea and the effects where amazing but the effects are probably one of the only things good in the movie. The movie gets very boring very fast. It takes at least a good hour before something finally happens and when it does happen it is very predictable. You always know where the invisable man is going to come out from, there is really no suprises. Also there is no real gore in this movie either, the deaths are pretty dull except for one or two and Sabastian seems to be immortal, it's hard to beleive he survives as much as he does. Overall Hollow Man is very disapointing, so much more could of been done with the idea like more scares, bigger body count and more chills. Although the acting is very good and so is the directing. I hope they make a sequel to this movie and the sequel is everything I hoped the first would be.

Summary: Horror Movie Junk
Review: Seems Hollywood has really ran out of good ideas for horror movies. They seemed to have found some really useful junk in "Hollow Man", my pick as worst movie of the year 2000. The story is quite nice, starting out, but as Bacon starts to fry up and burn, so does the movie. Really neat-o special-effects try their hardest to save this truck load of invisible crap, but never quite makes up for its tastes in nudity, violence, and stupidity. Give us Chevy Chase again! No, that was a joke.

Summary: Who WRITES this garbage?
Review: GREAT special effects--and that's about it. A thoroughly illogical plot, TERRIBLE acting by Shue and Brolin, I could go on and on. Aren't there ANY writers left in LA LA land? What's going on down there ????? Substance, PLEASE, we BEG YOU.....

Summary: I'M RATING THE PRODUCT, NOT THE MOVIE
Review: This DVD is great. ...You have so many extras you'll feel satisfied, because you have 3 deleted scenes, 2 of which are very well explained by Verhoeven himself; You have 15 short featurettes explaining all kind of technical aspects, a long HBO making of documentary, 3 special effects scenes showed with picture in picture (amazin!), and a great commentary which includes Verhoeven and Bacon. The sound is great and the video looks good, not as good as Terminator 2, but better than the average DVD. I thought they wouldn't release such a great DVD right away, I thought they would make a standard DVD and then after a few months they would release this edition, but I'm happy they didn't, and we can all enjoy this movie from every angle with this full-packaged edition. About the movie, all I can say is: Have you check Paul Verhoeven movies ? ... Well, you can see it's one of his childs from the very first moment ... and if you liked Robocop, Total Recall & Starship Troopers, you'll sure enjoy this one.

Summary: What a total waste of film
Review: This flick started out promising, but quickly spiraled downward, transforming into a predictable load of trash. Amazing special effects couldn't save this movie from a bad plot and a horrible ending.

Summary: A thoroughly nasty piece of work
Review: What would you do if you were invisible? Play pranks? Sit in on secret meetings and change the course of history? If you were the Kevin Bacon character in this movie, all you would do is commit sexual assault and then kill as many of your colleagues as possible. That's the extent to which the impoverished imagination behind this movie takes the concept. Throw in a few gallons of blood and the usual explosions, and you've got a typical Hollywood "thriller", but one with an underlying nastiness that makes this movie more offensive than entertaining.

Summary: Hollow Movie
Review: I was really dissapointed in this movie. It had an interesting plot - but the acting was terrible and Kevin Bacon seemed more obsessed with looking under skirts than anything. The ending was really bizzare where the ingenious Dr. goes nuts and starts to kill everyone just because he can't have his babe. I thought this movie might be appealing to my 13 year old son - but even he thought it was crap. Some of the special effects were interesting - but Bacon should be embarrased to have even done this movie.

Summary: Stupidest ending for a movie in 5 years
Review: GOOD: Great special effects! BAD: Everything else - especially because it seems that a 13 year old wrote the ending. Do audiences actually like seeing idiot people in movies that always think the bad guy is dead, but then he comes back for one more scare (or two, ...)? How many times in 1 movie can they use that same lame idea?

Summary: Now You See It, Now You Don't
Review: "Hollow Man" is another in director Paul Verhoeven's loud, gaudy multiplex spectacles, this one reprising the story of the invisible man. Genius scientist Kevin Bacon takes the serum this time out, and the expected madness, mania and mayhem ensue. Ex-girlfriend Elizabeth Shue, conveniently having an affair with Bacon's co-worker Josh Brolin, is in for a few nasty surprises, as are all his fellow scientists and even the girl across the courtyard, in a sequence cribbed from Hitchcock's "Rear Window." No, this is not rocket science or even very detailed script-writing, but as high tech Saturday matinee fodder, it is screamingly good fun. The special effects are awesome, and the final series of events, decried by many critics, was, for me, thrilling and well worth the price of admission to this theme park ride.
