JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Richard Chatten Had this film been released a year later, the Production Code would have considerably tamed the ferocity of this film's anti-hero and probably have obscured references to the fact that he spends most of the film naked (which would have cramped his ability to ride a bicycle, while his ability to run rings round people would have been considerably trickier barefoot).Stylishly photographed and designed, the film moves at a fine old lick while the special effects emphasise the novelty and comic possibilities of the story, but the brutal way Griffin kills seemingly just for the hell of it sits rather uneasily with the whimsical tone of much of the rest of the film, and more accurately reflects the bleakness and cruelty of H.G.Wells' original novel.

DylanW Juxtaposed with spectacular special-effects and a well driven plot, Claude Reins' performance as the Invisible Man (Dr Jack Griffin), will make this film go down in history as a horror classic! It's clear-cut plot is perfect, with great performances from Claude Reins and Gloria Stuart (Flora Cranley). The visual effects are absolutely stunning, casting the audience speechless. Such detail is paid to these effects as they even accentuate the footprints in the snow! It is definitely a must-see on the visual effects alone! No scene is unimportant; a beautiful scene being held in the first moments of the film, with a man, wrapped in bandages, walking through the snow. Why is this important? Because immediately the audience is thinking: Did he get injured? Or: Was this an accident? Or (which will be the first thought) : Is he this so-called Invisible Man? It is a dark movie, with terrorism and greed, but, there are lighter moments showing us new perspectives to the characters; love relationships, and even sympathy. The script is filled with fantastic quotes - "We'll begin with a reign of terror, a few murders here and there, murders of great men, murders of little men - well, just to show we make no distinction. I might even wreck a train or two... just these fingers around a signalman's throat, that's all." - which even relate to the world of today. This quote resonated to me as an unforgettable line. The fact that he does not distinguish between "murders of great men" and "murders of little men" express more about this character, showing us Dr Griffin's mentality that their deaths are equal. We wish we were born equal, but that now seems as an almost naive mentality. As mentioned earlier, though, the script only seems to improve every moment we see Claude Reins speak (well... don't see, technically) unleashing sympathy and horror, all in the space of a single scene.

elvircorhodzic The man whose head was wrapped in bandages almost always acts disturbing. If such a phenomenon following the horror elements, the story will seem daunting. THE INVISIBLE MAN is a pretty good horror. Films with visual and digital effects that should arouse a certain horror and shock in their thirties may have accounted for an incredible miracle, and he would have shocked all those who love the wonders of film creation or animation. The director who is brave enough to snatch shots and camera in order to shock the masses deserves slope to the floor. Claude Rains played the role of the phantom man only voice and gestures to him throughout the film does not see the face. The viewer will now feel plasticity, especially in the action scenes where you can see all the effort to do everything as perfectly. It was a time when the science-fiction genre fits exactly with the avant-Gard, expressionist or any other modernist expression. I think it was in the thirties simply thought the film magic on the one hand and garbage that draw the attention of viewers with themes and stories from the other side. James Whale is a story worked out in great detail. In the sci-fi genre that's necessary. The film observes a strange accelerated progression, the movements of the characters and developments, observed something sudden energy in dialogue. Mystique! Invisible man stew to the city and the people as a man in introversion with the capacity of invisibility, but as a man who is 'happy' under the influence of specific chemicals. Scientist! His motives are from some strange inner subconscious urge and desire to experiment, poured into an invisible form in which he wakes up madness and revenge hunger for power. Invisible Man becomes no longer a criminal in order to crime, rather than becoming a terrorist who with pleasure wants to destroy the world.The atmosphere is grim. The story was only solid. The film is a horror, but he lacks a bit of weirdness. I have the impression that the key scenes is not going to end. Invisible man is not enough. The film is less dosed with black humor.The main actor Claude Rains was forced to use a particular outfit and make-up, a recording was extremely hard and uncomfortable. I think he has put a lot of effort and did a good job.Other actors are solid, and in particular to highlight Una O'Connor, her "interesting" face and tragicomic screaming.James Whale was once again confirmed the reputation of a specialist in horror films. In the end he managed to convince the audience that the main protagonist is invisible.

atinder I just seen this movie for the first time and I thought it as really good The movie was very funny couldn't stop laughingThe old lady that kept in screaming was funny at first but as the movie goes that dose get a bit annoyingI also felt that There were some scenes that felt forced at time, when felt liked I was watching stage show I did find it very odd and funny but I don't understand How the news made a paper before body was moved from the bar I really liked fest of the movie As it flowed really wellMost of acting was really good at time I going to give this movie 7 out of 10
