Summary: You've seen this movie already.
Review: This is Aliens or Jaws or any number of movies where the cast gets knocked off one by one in a closed environment. Only this one has some very bad acting to top it off. Nothing new or exciting here. Truely a hollow movie.

Summary: Excellent Special Effects, but a disgusting Script.
Review: I saw this movie not knowing what sort of flick it would be. I think that it was the most pathetic movie of the 90s. For one, brilliant scientists and doctors don't act like that. For two the whole plot is trivial and weak. It is entertaining however and the special effects are great, but it's the only thing which keeps the viewer going. I do happen to have a favorite scene and that's when a bland character named Matt is trapped playing Marco and Polo with the demented Sebastain Caine.

Summary: This is a good movie. Period
Review: Analyze it all you want, but it was cool, and it was dark. Still has one of my favorite lines in it "its amazing what you can do when you don't have to look at yourself in the mirror anymore" Great FX, and Kevin is doing a lot better movies in the last half of his carrier than the first. Anyone who likes footloose needs slapped! Was going to give it four stars, going to give it five cause yea'll tick me off!! you footloose lovers!

Summary: GOOD ENOUGH TO ME
Review: the script is well written enough to be entertaining and the direction and performances are good enough to hold your attention and even give you a few thrills .
the special effects are probably the best I've seen since The Matrix and Kevin Bacon gives his best performance since Stir Of Echoes

Summary: high-tech invisibility remake
Review: Out of all the classic Invisible Man movies from the 30's & 40's, including an Abbott & Costello comedy version in the mid 50's, I think "Hollow Man" is Paul Verhoeven's best work since "Starship Troopers" & "Total Recall". Philly native Kevin Bacon does an excellent job playing the role of Dr. Sebastian Kaine, a brillant scientist working for the U.S. Depatment of Defense who goes off the deep end, Elizabeth Shue plays his co-worker/ex-girlfriend, and Josh Brolin co-stars as another fellow scientist. Here's a little teaser for ya: "Pay close attention on the 1 scene in the movie, where a woman gets attacked by the invisible stalker." That scene alone could be a setup for a possible sequel, where that same woman gives birth to a child who has the ability to become visible & invisible at will.

Summary: Special effects don't excuse poorly designed & executed plot
Review: Horrid! This was an awful remake of The Invisible Man. Yes, the special effects were exciting and gruesome. Isn't modern movie technology wonderful? But...so what? Bacon is not a convincing scientist. Renegade--yes. Madman--absolutely. Letch--he was perfect. However, none of these aspects meshed with him being a scientist. He played out like an adult kid who somehow got permission to fool around with very expensive military-scientific toys.A serious hole in this plot is the notion that the military would fully fund such an over-the-edge project as phase-shifting to create invisibility--and then not demand oversight. We are supposed to believe that a bunch of gen-X scientists would be allowed to run a super-pricey military project without so much as an MP in the laboratory? If you must view this wretched production, borrow it from the library like I did--there is no waiting list.

Summary: Deserves no more than one star
Review: I love what a jerk Kevin Bacon plays in this movie, I wish he got more smarmy scenes and played it with a little less realism. There aren't many worthwhile extras, there are deleted scenes which should have been put back into the film itself, as they show the team becoming more suspicious and 'Sebastian' being more malicious and it doesn't waste much time. I think this director is suitable for horror, because the genre is suited to happily catering to our baser instincts and so is he, maybe they could have used his inclinations to make a more exact fit. The CGI is nice when creating Gorillas or Humans. It's great to see and almost anatomically correct, but not ENTIRELY correct if you know what I mean, as Bacon mentioned in a story on the Tonight Show. I found myself thinking how easily this could have been a better film, how much more unpredictable, fun, less pedestrian, funny, inspired, unique it all could have been, but wasn't. A lot of scenes drag and they shouldn't... especially in the lab, where most scenes take place.

Summary: EMPTY NOISE....[S]
Review: The five stars are for this super-superbit edition - excellent quality [naturally] with superb sound design - the movie???? SPECIAL EFFECTS blow the mind - another major plus, but the mad scientist retread? Nah! [I know the original H.G. Wells was also a downer, with far more grim warnings about man's tampering ...... etc.]. This one? No - no - a few beats above soft porn thanks to Mr. Verhoeven - pity he has followed the Ken Russel path to cinematic oblivion. What ever happened to that splendid director of "Soldier of Orange", "Spetters" and "4th Man"? Pity ....... Kevin Bacon - superlative actor - deserves better - much better!
