Best & Worst Invisible "Man" films

[redmarvel]

Ok, any movie where an invisible person is portrayed, women are included too...

Best:

Diary of an Invisible Man - Chevy Chase
Hollow Man
and The Fantastic Four

 

[Killgore]

I remember watching the Invisible Kid when I was in junior high. I think it was on USA Up All Night. It was dreadful.

 

[Kevin Roegele]

The best by far is the 1933 Claude Rains version, directed by James 'Frankenstein' Whale.

 

[Lightspeed]

I thought Hollow Man with Kevin Bacon was horrible.

 

[<(o_o)>]

Whats the one with Steve Guttenberg? The Man Who Wasn't There
The one with Chevy Chase. Memoirs of an Invisible Man
LXG Tony Moran
Fantastic Four
Predator
The Incredibles

 

[DACrowe]

Wow I find the beginner's best list a good run for the worst list in my opinion.

The best is the Claude Raines classic and original by the way though.

The Chevy Chase one is really fun, but it's a terrible movie. And in Fantastic Four she can just turn invisible, that's not the same thing. I like the Claude Rains version. And LXG wasn't bad either. There actually aren't that many movies based on this story. There are quite a few TV shows though.

Edit: Oh, you meant invisible people in general. I thought you were talking about just movies based (directly or not) on H. G. Wells story.

Worst : Fantastic Four
Best : ????

 

[That-Guy]

The only one I've seen that I've liked was Memoirs of an Invisible Man.

Hollow Man was horrible, Fantastic Four sucked, and I've never seen the original (based on the novel) although the book itself is very good.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Fantastic Four
Hollow Man

 

[ToddIsDead]

By far and away, the best is The Invisible Man starring Claude Rains. My second favorite is Memoirs of an Invisible Man, but I'm a big Chevy Chase fan.

Fantastic Four is the worst movie featuring an invisible character. That or LXG.

Interesting bit of trivia:

The very first full-length SF movie to come out of Japan wasn't Godzilla, but an invisible man movie released in 1949 by Daiei studios called Tomei Ningen Arawaru (AKA: "The Invisible Man Appears"). The special effects were done by Eiji Tsuburaya, who later went back to work at Toho studios and helped create Godzilla in 1954.

I blame the Space network for not showing it every Hallowe'en, then I wouldn't have forgotten the title... I'm not going to edit my post though, because everyone is entitled to a mistake now and then. t:

 

[Fenrir]

Fantastic Four
Hollow Man

Both of them suck...hard. :

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

HollowMan was awful.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

No that be you who does the hard sucking.

Look, I think Jessica Alba is one of the hottest women on the planet too, and maybe if she were given a role where she played more than eye candy, I might feel that she has some sort of talent, but Fantastic Four was a very, VERY lackluster superhero adaptation. The only characters that came off well were the Thing and Human Torch. Reed, Sue and Doom were written so poorly that they are barely memorable. And I know that at least Julian McMahon is a good actor, so for him to suck in a movie means that the problem is most likely within the film itself. Fantastic Four had very little story, very little chemistry between any of the main characters, and mediocre special effects. I only hope they do a better job with the sequel because I don't want to see them ruin one of my favorite characters, the Silver Surfer.

You should start saying you're Russian. To save your parents from embarrassment

The original Invisible Man staring Claude Rains is really one of my favorite movies ever. Just really, really great.

Worst? I dunno. I haven't seen terribly many movies featuring invisible people, but I guess the one I enjoyed least was The Invisible Man Returns.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

It's weird how you can say that Date Movie and Napolean Dynamite suck, and that's fine, but if anyone says Fantastic Four sucked (which is just an empirically undeniable fact) then you tell them that they suck as people.

You know that feeling, how Date Movie and Dynamite make you sick to your stomach?
Well that's how I felt when I saw Fantastic Four, only moreso 'cause I actually had to walk out of the theater, and even felt almost like crying, 'cause it wasn't just "bad", it was a cinematic crime.

 

[Lighthouse]

Best: The Invisible Man with Claude Rains
Worst: Everything other invisible person movie.

The original Invisible Man staring Claude Rains is really one of my favorite movies ever. Just really, really great.

Worst? I dunno. I haven't seen terribly many movies featuring invisible people, but I guess the one I enjoyed least was The Invisible Man Returns.

Was that the one with Vincent Price?

 

[Sensi]

The original Invisible Man staring Claude Rains is the best.

Hollow Man is the worst.

LOL, oh the irony! How it dost kill me! Shouldn't you be off crying anytime anyone says anything even remotely derrogatory towards your beloved FF film or the piss poor actress you obsess over whose best assets are the ones she sits on and the ones that protrude from her chest? t:t:
