Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Under-rated, good movie!
Review: Above average story with Chevy Chase playing a stock market investor who becomes invisable due to a nuclear fusion accident. The film maker (Daryl Hannah) who loves him. And the federal agent (Sam Neil) who wants him dead. Rather a successful blend of adventure, comedy, and romance.ILM effects are good and a funny/moving musical score by Shirley Walker.wish it would come to DVD.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It's okay. 2.5 stars
Review: Didn't really enjoy this to much. It's okay, but really I'm not attached to it in anyway. Some may enjoy it, but sadly most will not. I thought it was okay, but when you sit through the kind of trash I've sat through, this film looks like Citizen Kane! Read other reviews of this movie, cuz I noticed that most tell you the plot, so why should I?

Summary: Loads better than Hollow Man
Review: I can't say that I'm that keen on Chevy Chase, sorry, I just do not find him funny! After putting this off for a while, I got told to watch it, or my budgie would die :( I mean, what's a girl to do? Lose her budgie, or sit through an hour & a half of Chevy Chase?

I thought I was going to be constantly reminded of Hollow Man watching this, as it's one that I hated, just about as much as I dislike Chevy Chase. Hollow Man totally freaked me out, from Kevin Bacon sucking on the girl's nipple, to the ending. Never again. If I have to watch that movie again, it'll be too soon!

The special effects were better & more subtle than Hollow Man, from the building disappearing, to Chevy smoking, and seeing the smoke in his lungs, and seeing his outline as he blew it out, or the makeup on his face! Also, when he eats, sees it, and then gets it straight back out again, and the rain scene has an almost magical feel to it.

The whole movie deals with loneliness, alienation, and insanity, although I sometimes felt Chevy was wrong for the role, as was Sam Neill - I did NOT like his character at all. But I guess that was the whole point. Everyone will say this movie is a comedy due to Chevy being the main character, but it was quite a serious role for him, a big step away from his usual roles. Daryl Hannah was terrific, considering most of her intimate scenes are played to special effects. The last scenes over the end credits are especially touching, and bring a little tear to the eye!

Now I've finally seen this, I'm hoping that's the last I'll hear about it! It was a better movie than I was expecting, and the special effects were amazing. There's not much in the way of extras, no trailer (!), and a series of outtakes.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: FUNNY!
Review: I love this movie but wish they had it in DVD form. One of Chevy's best movies and they special effects are exceptional.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It's better then average movie....
Review: I really enjoyed this movie when it came out and was quite surprised by all the bad reviews. I had read the book several years before I saw the movie and thought they did a great job of transfering it to film.

The funny thing is that most reviews criticize the film makers for their wierd story choices, but the film was just following the book.

Others criticize that the movie doesn't know whether to be a comedy, action thiller or an adventure story? The book was the same way and I thought the book and film did a great job of juggling these different styles.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: The Finest Work of Chevy Chase
Review: If you ever thought that a comedian like Chevy Chase doesn't deserve an oscar, than you haven't seen "Memoirs of an Invisible Man." An outstanding performance by Chevy Chase under the expert direction of cult icon John Carpenter makes this film a must own. Heavy on amazing special effects, and Daryl Hannah (No CGI here; everything is flawlessly done with blue/green screen technology).

Summary: Fun
Review: It's not deep, thoughtful, or philosophical, but it is fun. That in itself makes it worth viewing. I enjoyed this movie for its fun-loving nature, and some very hilarious scenes. I found myself laughing so hard, I cried. Of course, it has a more serious side too, but it's fitting. This movie is pure fun. And, seeing Sam Neill in a suit isn't too bad, either!
