WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Prichards12345 The original film was aways going to be difficult to surpass, but while this is an occasionally pedestrian film (especially in its first half) it manages to pass muster and builds towards an engaging climax.The role of the Invisible Man is taken by a 28 year old Vincent Price. He isn't as good as Claude Raines in the role, and is suprisingly ineffective when taken over by megalomainia, but this was just a year or so into his film career and he was soon to mature into an outstanding character actor (and later King of the Horror Movie).Framed for the murder of his brother, he escapes the gallows after a quick visit from Dr. Frank Griffin, brother of the original Invisible Man, ensures he quickly escapes by emulating his homicidal predecessor and doing a disappearing act! Can Vincent prove his innocence and catch the real culprit before he falls into madness caused by the invisibility drug Duocaine?Nan Grey ably provides the romantic interest and Sir Cedric Hardwicke (boring as ever) is the true killer. Some splendid effects (and a few ropey ones) provide a decent addition to the original film. Price's return to visibility is superbly pulled off. Not one of Universal's best horror films but capable enough.

Benedito Dias Rodrigues The original Invisible man is true masterpiece,it haunted the audience when the picture went to screen for such daring scenes and amazing story from the great H. G. Wells,after that Universal made this fine sequel,but the magic already has broken,the smell of fresh simply disappeared,however it's quite interesting in many ways yet,the plot sounds odd sometimes but enjoyable,Vincent Price as hollow man keept the pattern of acting in early career!!Resume:First watch: 2018 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 7.5

tomgillespie2002 Released a surprising seven years after James Whale's fantastic and commercially successful The Invisible Man (1933), this sequel faces the problem of creating a story worth telling, without recycling the events and themes that ran through the original and H.G. Wells' novel of the same name. Pleasingly, Returns is an exciting little horror film, that boasts the same fantastic (and Oscar nominated) special effects as the first, as well as offering Vincent Price in one of his very first horror roles.Falsely imprisoned for the murder of his brother, Sir Geoffrey Radcliffe (Price), the owner of a mining corporation, awaits the death sentence. As his execution looms close, Radcliffe suddenly disappears from his cell, baffling the guards who are placed under suspicion. Knowing Radcliffe to be innocent, Dr. Frank Griffin (John Sutton), the brother of Claude Rains' original Invisible Man, has injected him with the invisibility drug so Radcliffe may conduct his own investigation into the murder. But with Scotland Yard detective Sampson (Cecil Kellaway) suspecting Griffin and the drug slowly turning him mad, Radcliffe faces a race against time to find the culprit and cure himself of the effects of the drug.This is one of those old-fashioned horror films that adhere to all the genre clichés and never really surprises you, but the cast and execution of the film is wholly charming. The plot keeps things interesting, as the sympathetic innocent man is slowly driven to madness that is beyond his control. Price, although only appearing for less than a minute, had yet to hone his acting craft, but manages to carry the film using only that voice which is now so embedded in horror culture. It's not a patch on Whale's masterful original, but The Invisible Man Returns is a worthy sequel, remaining thoroughly entertaining throughout, kick-starting one of many lucrative franchises for Universal Studios.www.the-wrath-of-blog.blogspot.com

TheLittleSongbird The Invisible Man is one of the greats of its genre so The Invisible Man Returns had a lot to live up to. It is not as good, I did feel it could have been longer, the real murderer's identity is revealed far too soon and is not a big surprise and while there are some nice humorous spots some of the dark humour is on the heavy-handed side. However, as a sequel it does not fail anywhere near as badly as others have. It is filmed beautifully, directed with style and has some great effects for back then and now. The music mayn't be the most original of all scores but it is haunting, while there is some humorous dark wit in the dialogue to make up for the instances that don't quite work and the story is creepy and fun. Although he spends much of the movie invisible, Vincent Price early on in his long career in the title role is perfect, his voice distinctive and his delivery droll and somewhat menacing. Nan Grey's role is not as interesting but she gives a gentle and warm performance that does make the audience warm to her. Cecil Kelloway has some fine moments as the inspector, while Alan Napier looks as though he is having fun and Cedric Hardwicke is wonderfully ruthless. All in all, a good sequel that doesn't equal the original but is leagues ahead of many other sequels I've seen. 7/10 Bethany Cox
