Summary: Good special effects......
Review: Nothing more. The story was a little dry and predictable...Kevin Bacon is one of my favorite actors. He should have pushed harder for a better story.....

Summary: OK movie, decent DVD package...
Review: I watched this movie with no preconceptions and yet was still disappointed. What set itself up as a fairly intelligent sci-fi tinged movie ended up as a fairly run-of-the-mill slasher pic. At times the script threatened to truly explore the power and potential evil of invisibility (such as the scene where Kevin Bacon sneaks into his neighbour's house) but wimped out before it got really interesting. What we are left with is a formulaic thriller with excellent special effects that lift the movie a tad above the norm. As a DVD this has some excellent extras and some real thought has gone into the package for which some credit is deserved. I was a trifle concerned that Kevin Bacon's bollocks kept flapping around during the movie. Keep them tucked in next time mate.

Summary: Certainly a Film For Aficionados of Visual Wizardry
Review: Remove MAN from this movie's title. What remains sums up the stock characters and thin plot tossed into a screenplay overflowing with complicated descriptions of effects, sounds and stunts. Although those complicated descriptions made their transition to film and soundtrack beautifully, better films of this genre sparkle with a near-perfect balance of dramatic narrative and effects. HOLLOW fails in this aspect of solid storytelling. For its visual aspect (and feature films must first and foremost be more visual than dialogue oriented), HOLLOW MAN passes with the highest marks.

Summary: What happens when you loose your sense of responsibilty?
Review: This movie tries to answer this important question. A team of young, inexperienced and morally dubious scientists are working together in complete freedom on an evil project. A comment on vanity and the emptiness that surrounds it. All the leads are children walking around in adults bodies and are only interested in their own infantile needs. The movie has no heroes and is very down beat, but it has energy and intelligence on it's side. A contemporary film noir done in bright colors. It all very Freudian, a battle of the ego and the id.

Summary: Excellent!!!
Review: Am I the only one that actually likes this movie? As a matter of fact, the only thing wrong with it (and it doesn't really bother me all that much) is the excessive perversion of the movie. I've been able to get past the cons of this movie and focus on the pros. Also, all these people worked really really really hard on this movie. I mean, give them at least little credit please? I am also very pleased at the DVD except for the fact that they interrupt a couple of the deleted scenes with Paul Verehoeven commentary. I wish they had just made it an optional audio-only commentary, so we can see the entire thing. The best part of the DVD is the isolated score track because the Varese Sarabande soundtrack album does not have all the cues. Yes, I think this should silence all the individuals (such as me) that complain about lack of extras. This baby has everything. Deleted scenes, commentary by a cast member and a couple of the crew, isolated score w/composer commentary, one behind-the-scenes featurette which is then broken up into 15 to talk about all the individual aspects of making the movie. I do kind of wish they had included one on the making of the score, since they have one on everything else. This is one of the best DVDs ever. It gets the treatment that more DVDs should, but don't. I think the movie's fine. It's just something you have to develop a taste for. Me, I liked it right away, but for those who find it "hollow", you may have to watch it a few more times.

Summary: Save your money!!!!
Review: Please, don't buy this movie. It is a really bad movie. I guarantee you will find a way, much better movie on TV. Unless you're an 10 year old kid who would like to know how it would be to be invisible for one day, you might rent this movie, but not buy it. It is really bay.

Summary: Kind Of Hollow
Review: Hollow Man is typical special effects driven summer movies. It has more style over substance. However, the movie is pretty entertaining and fun. Well, in the last half hour or so anyways. The effects are, of course, outstanding. The movie stars the always reliable Kevin Bacon as scientist Sebastian Kane(if that doesn't sound like a soap opera name, I don't know what does). He's a cocky, arrogant type of guy who, with his crew, which also includes Josh Brolin and Elisabeth Shue, is experimenting on
invisibility. He then decides to try it on himself. It succeeds and he's invisible. The longer it lasts however, the more it starts to drive him insane. Bacon is good, as usual, but the supporting players are all routine. Josh Brolin, however, is pretty decent. The movie has what you'd expect from a Paul Verhoeven film. Action, violence, nudity. It's fun in that area, but if your looking for something deeper and memorable, your not gonna find it here. There are many clever set pieces that are quite effective. Many scenes are very eerie as well when he's stalking the trapped scientists. Once agin, the effects are eye popping and the entertainment is pretty high. Ignore the mean and nasty review on some page about making fun of Elisabeth Shue's name. How horrible is that?. Ignore that 8 year old and see this movie for yourself.

Summary: Awesome Movie!
Review: I know some of you didn't like it when Dr. Caine bashes the small dog against the side of its cage, but geez, lighten up, no animals were ACTUALLY harmed in the movie, in fact, there wasn't even a dog there, it was all computer animation. But I don't think Verhoeven had to print that scene at the beginning where the invisible gorilla chomps that small mouse in half. I mean, it starts where a guy puts a mouse down on the floor and lures it into the gorilla cage. Then the mouse is just sniffing around and then its stomach gets thinner and thinner and it begins screaching in pain (terrible pain), and then out of no where, from the nose up, the mouse starts getting eaten away, screaching the whole time, and then at the end of the scene you see two sets of bloody fangs and the half and very bloody mouse still floating in mid-air. And this movie was almost unbarable in gore, but not that bad, I've seen much worse. This movie is nothing compared to "Faust: Love of the Damned." In the case of gore, I mean. Kevin Bacon started getting violent and began killing his partners and bosses when he finds out that they're going to cancel the project and fire him. R|Strong Violence, Language, & Sexuality/Nudity.

Summary: Great FX, but still a hollow movie
Review: Sebastian Caine (Kevin Bacon) is a brilliant but evil scientist. With that european surname, he's the kind of evil scientist you'd expect to find in a movie by Paul Verhoeven - he's into rough sex, voyeurism, junk food, fast cars and self-deification. Unfortunately, he's also working on developing a radioactive serum that turns living matter invisible. While animals have been able to shift from invisibility and back again, Caine finds himself stuck when he impulsively has himself injected. Never a nice guy, the prolonged invisibility turns Caine predatory at first, then sociopathic and finally homicidal. A further complication - the project is funded by some covert arm of the government which stymies attempts to reign Caine in when he starts showing his true self. It also requires that the team work out of a high-tech looking underground complex - where Caine traps the project members and sets the stage for a hyperviolent climactic duel of wits. While the flick has some great effects, but the weak story and uneven pacing kill it. Even the effects lose their bite when the movie tries to hang everything it has onto them when the deficiencies in plot and charahcter are too obvious. The duel between Bacon and his ex-colleagues seems too short - the others come off as incredibly stupid, almost as if they deserve what's coming for them. Even Elisabeth Shue seems too clueless to qualify as a master scientist. There are some good bits - like how Shue's charachter escapes from a locked freezer, but that kind of smart thinking has lower profile in this movie than an invisible man.
