Pros: Special effects, Score Cons: Story, Acting, Direction
Hollow Man (2000) Proof that Special F/X alone do not make a story can be seen in the downward progression of special effects Meister Ray Harryhausen's Sinbad series, a trio of movies that progressively got closer to the F/X as ...
Pros: Interesting idea for the plot. Impressive effects. Cons: Failed execution of the plot.
I have seen several movies that I thought had really interesting ideas for the plots. Unfortunately, many of those movies failed to live up to the potential of the interesting plots and ended up being mediocre at best. Hollow Man< b>< i> is one of ...
Pros: Nice FX Cons: Stupid characters, stupid story, stupid everything!
I seriously doubt that anything I could say hasn't already been said somewhere in the 200-reviews posted on this site, but here goes anyway. Hollow Man is a remarkably baaaaad movie. Heck, I'm even something of a Kevin Bacon fan and I find his ...
Pros: Elisabeth Shue, Kevin Bacon, special effects Cons: Pretends to be science fiction
Over the years, Paul Verhoeven has presented us with some intriguing science fiction. Pictures like "RoboCop" and "Total Recall" not only impressed with their storytelling, but with human issues as well. "RoboCop" and...
Pros: Superior special effects and production design. Cons: Poorly written, badly paced, pandering, contrived...anything that doesn't have the words "special effects".
What if you had the power of invisibility? Imagine the infinite possibilities that await you when you do not have to worry about people looking at you. Would you use your invisible powers for the greater good of mankind? Or would you use the...
Pros: Great cast, excellent effects Cons: A few plotholes
Hollow Man stars Elizabeth Shue (Leaving Las Vegas, Adventures in Babysitting), Kevin Bacon (Tremors, Footloose, Stir of Echoes), and Josh Brolin (Goonies, James Brolin's son). It is directed by Paul Verhoeven (Starship Troopers, Basic Instinct). ...
Pros: Good Story. Kevin Bacon Kicks Butt. Nudity & Gore Cons: Weak Ending, Kevin Bacon's Penis
Paul Verhoeven is the master of sleaze. The grimy director has such masterpieces out there as the ultra-violent films Total Recall, RoboCop and Starship Troopers. Then you have his films where he gave soft core...
Pros: Slickly made with 'A' production values. Cons: Strictly 'C' in terms of content.
For the second stop on my phenomenal Ssssoundssss of Ssssilence concert tour, celebrating the snake in all of us, Joseph promised me a booking in the New Orleans area. I imagined an intime little bistro in the French Quarter with Al Hirt...
Pros: Great Special Effects Cons: Didn't live up to the hype
Paul Verhoeven’s Hollow Man takes the premise of The Invisible Man and turns it into a total nightmare. U.S. Military Researcher, Sebastian Caine (played by Kevin Bacon) turns “mad scientist” as he searches for the formula to turn people...
Pros: Nifty special effects Cons: Hollow story and hollow characters leave viewers' wallets hollowed-out
If you had the cloak of invisibility, what would you do? Eavesdrop on your co-workers’ water cooler gossip? Slip past the Secret Service into the Oval Office and watch the President sign a few bills (or smoke a cigar, etc.)? At the very least, you’d...
Pros: Special effects Cons: the plot and everything else
I saw Hollow Man with Kevin Bacon a couple of weeks ago with my husband. It wasn't my favorite horror film but it also wasn't the worst I have ever seen.
This movie is about an experiment gone wrong. The government is funding experiments on...
Pros: The special effects are amazing. Bacon and Shue good. Cons: but not amazing enough. Lazy film-making sinks it.
Hollow Man is a film I was hoping I would enjoy in the tradition of B horror films from the 1950's. I didn't have high expectations and I had heard the film wasn't very good. I knew at least some of the special effects were going to be impressive, and...
Pros: Great special effects, slight scary thrills Cons: Implausible situations, recycled plot twists, yawnable ending
Other than my unfettered joy at witnessing one less degree of separation between Kevin Bacon and Elisabeth Shue (before this movie, I had to take the obscure route from Shue to Vincent D'Onofrio in Adventures in Babysitting, then D’Onofrio to...
Pros: Great concept and a few fun scenes... Cons: ...just about make up for how weak it really is.
Director Paul Verhoeven doesn't shy away from the gory stuff. In movies like Starship Troopers, Robocop and Total Recall, the violence was joyously evident everywhere. Where Hollow Man differs is in its simply pedestrian script. With the special effects...
