	The Invisible Man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Invisible Man of the title is "Griffin", a scientist who theorizes that if a person's refractive index is changed to exactly that of air and his body does not absorb or reflect light, then he will not be visible.
		The movie is considered one of the great Universal horror films of the 1930s, and it spawned a number of sequels, plus many spinoffs using the idea of an "invisible man" that were largely unrelated to Wells' original story.
		In the movie adaptation, the character is renamed "Rodney Skinner", and instead of being the inventor of the formula, he is a thief who stole the formula.

		It's often an overlooked part of the movie that people don't really think about all that much, yet if you ever listen to a movie without the score you'd be amazed by the difference.
		Movie magic indeed, though it was no surprise to learn the movie cost nearly $100 million to make.
		Sure, he's invisible throughout most of the film but there's no doubt this was once of his most challenging performances.

	HOLLOW MAN movie review
		It is the classic movie fantasy, done and done again because it’s just too much fun, about what it would be like to be invisible.
		They bring an invisible gorilla into the lab and, in spite of some tense medical moments, are gratified to see that his discovery works.
		Invisibility in the usual sense, basically being perfectly transparent, isn’t really a workable idea because you wouldn’t really be invisible any more than very clear glass is invisible.

		The Invisible Man is one of the most impressive Universal "monster" films of the 1930s, a motion picture masterpiece still as vibrant and engaging now as it was in 1933.
		I am of the belief that the story of The Invisible Man really doesn't teach any sort of lesson with it, although others are certainly free to voice their own interpretations of the story.
		Although the Invisible Man makes a note of having to be naked to be invisible, the footprints he leaves in the snow at the end of the film are those of a man wearing shoes.

		Kevin Bacon talked to EON Magazine about his role in Hollow Man. You'd think playing an invisible man in a movie would be easy but you would be wrong.
		Plus in the hands of a good actor the invisible man could be a truly frightening character.
		The movie is basically a modern version of the Invisible Man. Bacon plays a government scientist whose team has invented a process to render a person invisible.

		But the cast is not the problem with this movie, despite the presence of an actor with the name Joey Slotnick.
		The premise of an invisible man has, of course, been used many times before; most notably in a classic novel by H.G. Wells, in a long-running radio program, and in several classic films from Hollywood's Golden Age.
		"Hollow Man" wisely ignores all those pesky issues of any nuance or intelligence, and instead focuses on the all-important question of "How could a guy use invisibility to scam on chicks?" Dr. Cain turns his brilliant mind to furthering the science of fondling your unsuspecting co-workers and sexually assaulting your good-looking neighbors.

	The Invisible Man (1933 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Invisible Man is a film produced by Universal Pictures in 1933 and directed by James Whale.
		In his first screen appearance, Claude Rains was the voice of the Invisible Man (Dr. Jack Griffin) — though the actor is only seen briefly at the end of the film, after the character has died and become visible.

		Endure the long, slow, unraveling of this movie, which can't even muster the intelligence to be pretentious or the bravado to be amusingly bad.
		Invisibility effects were cool, but after Sebastian's transformation, there's nothing but dawdling around until he finally goes insane.
		You see Jimbo actors talk in movies to show us charicterisation, to further the plot, and make us think etc, etc. Basically their are "too many 'intellectually challenged' people like yourself out there" for my liking.

	LIGHT VIEWS FILM REVIEW: HOLLOW MAN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		This isn't your old man's "Invisible Man." It's a cool and hip invisible man, with some of the most amazing and jaw dropping special effects I have seen in a horror film.
		Caine is a man driven by his own ego, an ego that becomes extremely dangerous when he's rendered invisible.
		Bacon is convincing as Caine, a man so driven by his own success that he's willing to put everything on the line rather than lose it.

		Caine's developed an invisibility serum with the most well buffed group of scientists since Doc Savage retired: Kim Dickens, Josh Brolin (a Harry Hamlin for the new millennium) and Elisabeth Shue, whose midriff is more expressive than her face.
		The movie endorses his prowling--the women here are all cock teasers who undress in front of the window or else provoke men with their navels.
		The only powerful moments in the new movie are the grisly scenes of half-materialized creatures who look as if they've been skinned--like animated Francis Bacon paintings (no relation to Kevin).

		Universal's "Invisible Man", series in particular was a great success in the early 40's and was itself an offshoot from the studios much earlier success with its 1933 effort "The Invisible Man", starring Claude Rains which was based on the famous H.G. Wells novel.
		The title of this movie in reality tells the whole story however I find this effort, while certainly not up to the standard of the earlier film classic, an interesting one with good performances from a great cast, and some new and innovative "invisible" special effects that help to maintain the interest.
		The special effects of "The Invisible Man's Revenge", are of course the film's main talking point and they are of a uniformily fine quality.

	"Hollow Man" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		After Caine becomes invisible and the antidote fails, he begins to act erratically (that is, more erratic than he did before).
		Through "Hollow Man", however, my eyes had to be hidden most of the film and when they weren't, my ears should have been.
		The concept for the movie started out to be intriguing, but turned into basically a smut film as it progressed.

	Amazon.com: Invisible Man Returns / Movie: Video: Cedric Hardwicke,Vincent Price,Nan Grey,John Sutton,Cecil ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Rather than repeat the scenario of the Invisible Man going mad from the effects of his own invisibility serum, this engaging mystery begins when a murderer (Cedric Hardwicke) plots to frame his brother (Price), who then uses the invisibility serum to escape from jail and clear his name.
		Starring Claude Rains in his film debut as the invisible man who sets out on a reign of terror against all those who had done him wrong, the movie was a great success and was remarkable for its state of the art (for the time), special effects.
		Universal's follow up "The Invisible Man Returns", in 1940 was intended to duplicate that success with a similiar story starring Vincent Price in only his fourth film and first true horror role, a genre he would later gain his greatest stardom in.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Hollow Man
		And it says something about the movie that we never think of the invisible man as a character, only as Kevin Bacon in an invisibility suit.
		Wells' invisible man was invisible except for a spot of visual purple behind each invisible eye.
		The real trouble with the movie is that it is structured as a monster movie, and somehow the Invisible Man was never a very impressive monster.

	Movie Info for The Invisible Man on MSN Movies
		So forceful was Rains' verbal performance as "The Invisible One" that he became an overnight movie star (after nearly twenty years on stage).
		Wittily scripted by R.C. Sherriff and an uncredited Philip Wylie, and brilliantly directed by James Whale, The Invisible Man is a near-untoppable combination of horror and humor.
		With the exception of The Invisible Man Returns, none of the sequels came anywhere close to the quality of the 1933 original.

	Hawley Griffin, the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen's Invisible Man
		History: As recorded in the H. Wells novel, The Invisible Man, Griffin was a former physicist who discovered the means to become invisible at the cost of his sanity.
		While the unnamed albino was slaughtered by the mob, Griffin, now invisible, hid in a school for young girls, where he impregnated at least three of them while claiming to be the Holy Spirit.
		With the bombs planted, he then aided Sawyer and Quatermain in fighting an armored man with a flamethrower and another invisible man, Sanderson Reed, although Skinner was badly burned in the process.

	The Invisible Man : DVD & Movie Reviews:
		The forces of law and love are arraigned against Griffin's megalomaniac plans, an unbeatable combination; but he has the trump card, he is invisible and proceeds to terrorise the countryside.
		The special effects are particularly good considering the only way to make a man invisible in 1933 was by using fl against fl.
		The Invisible Man is recommended for fans of classic movies and those who like a well-told tale.

	Hollow Man
		The unfairly ignored Memoirs of an Invisible Man, structured as a comedy, nevertheless tapped into curious areas of sadness as well as prurience; this may be the only time in film history that Chevy Chase has given a better dramatic performance than Kevin Bacon.
		The becoming-invisible and becoming-visible-again scenes have some of Verhoeven's charged-up showmanship; the rest of the movie is a lumbering haunted-house flick with an oddly sour, vindictive tone.
		A serious movie doesn't give us peeks at naked women, as if we were pubescent boys, and a serious movie doesn't have Elisabeth Shue announce "We're gonna take him down" and punctuate it by cocking her gun.

	Cold Fusion Video Reviews: Hollw Man
		Many reviewers have derided this movie for its supposed mysogynism; one took his case to almost hysterical extremes, effectively branding Verhoeven as the most woman-hating son-of-a-bitch in Hollywood and trying to make any male who didn't absolutely revile the movie feel like a candidate for aversion therapy and possible shock treatment.
		The point of the movie is to examine (however facilely) what happens to a man without any real ethics when he is removed from the consequence of his actions.
		Bottom line is that Hollow Man adds nothing to the invisibility subgenre except the admittedly state-of-the-art special effects, which finally dispense with the need for bluescreen hoods and piano wire.

	Chemistry in the Movies
		In the movie The Invisible Man, invisibility is achieved by ingesting a concoction of chemicals which removes coloring from compounds that make up the body, leaving it so transparent that it appears to be invisible.
		To become invisible is based on physics and chemistry as it was said in the movie.
		After many experiments, Griffin is able to make an invisibility formula that by injection under the arm everyday for a month can make the coloring of his body and blood fade away.

		The Invisible Man begins its second season with "Legends," an episode that touches on where the quicksilver invisibility gland might have come from.
		While there are intriguing elements involving what might possibly be the origin of the invisibility gland, the episode itself is weak and doesn't hold together well.
		The Invisible Man is already a solid hit both for the SCI FI Channel and in syndication.

		Opening with an original music piece that perfectly mixes the moods of horror and fantasy, The Invisible Man quickly asserts the difference between it and all previous Universal horror films (a great deal of which utilized Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake").
		Well, it wouldn't be much of an Invisible Man movie if the answers didn't have something to do with human transparency.
		The stranger is Dr. Jack Griffin and he has three problems: 1) he's invisible, 2) he can't reverse the process, and 3) he's become a bit, ah, megalomaniac.

	Monsters At Play: H.G. WELLS' THE INVISIBLE MAN: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON (1958) Review
		Why the radiation didn't just melt his insides rather than render him invisible is a question the show does not answer, though as time (and episodes) went on this question became less of a burning one.
		While there are a few times the seams show (the fl bodysuit and facemask worn by the actor to eventually "erase" his image from the film is visible in outline form in a few shots), the effects are considerably better than those on Doctor Who, which aired in the three decades that followed.
		Most of the gags around the character's invisibility are pretty much the same as you've seen in any Invisible Man movie -- a smoke enjoyed here and there, cups and other objects that seem to float in mid-air, doors and drawers opening of their own volition...
