THE INVISIBLE MAN 1933 6/10 THE INVISIBLE MAN RETURNS isn't that memorable, but compared to THE INVISIBLE MAN 1933, it has better performances and the horror and comedy are more balanced. 6/10 Unlike its predecessors, THE INVISIBLE WOMAN is pure comedy. That was a mistake. Not because the concept doesn't lend itself to jokes (in fact, there are some truly funny moments here), but it feels too detached from the franchise. In fact, it came out the same year as the previous installment, making the changes more jarring. 3/10 Is it hard for you to differentiate similar genres? Then this franchise might help you. Compare INVISIBLE AGENT to the first 2 installments. This is a thriller without horror elements. While there are enjoyable scenes, the invisibility concept feels like a last minute addition, resulting in another detached sequel. 5/10 THE INVISIBLE MAN'S REVENGE 1/10 HOLLOW MAN PART I 6/10 HOLLOW MAN PART II 3/10 THE INVISIBLE MAN 2020 9/10 ------------------------------------- You can read comments of other movies in my blog.

THE INVISIBLE MAN 1933 6/10 The Invisible Man (1933) brought the blessed Claude Rains to the silver screen, and for that it is a 10/10.

The 1933 original film is a classic. 10/10.
I really enjoyed the 2020 movie. That one gets 8/10.
Hollow Man has its moments but it's just high budget trash. 4/10.

The Invisible Man (1933) confuses first time viewers because so much of it stems from James Whale's sardonic wit. It mystified me when I first saw it on Shock Theatre in the late 1950's. I don't think anyone sitting down to see this film expects to be confronted by an empty pair of pants dancing down the road singing, "Here we go gathering nuts in may."
On subsequent viewings, when I was more familiar with the director's black humor (which peaked with Bride of Frankenstein), I realized the brilliance of his approach. As Isapop mentioned in his post, it introduced us to Claude Rains. The actor's famous mad speech ("even the moon is frightened of me") in that deep, gravel voice is unforgettable and I'm sure audiences of the 1930's were impatient to see the face behind it. It rates a solid 10/10 as one of the genuine fantasy classics of Hollywood's Golden Age.
The sequels of the 1940's aren't bad, just disappointing, even though the technical effects are an improvement over the earlier film.
I've only seen Hollow Man among the modern invisible man movies. Despite the quantum leap in fx, it lacks the humor and ethereal ambiance found in Whale's classic.

The Invisible Man (1933) is a true classic, I've now seen it twice and I just love it. Watched all of the various follow-ups a few months ago before viewing the new movie. They're fun, some more than others. The new 2020 version really tries to be something other than we've seen before, and mostly succeeds.
