one could wish that an idea as good a the invisible man would work good and be more carefully handle in the age of fantastic special effect and but this be not the case . the story and the character and and finally the entire last 20 minute of the film be about as fresh a a mad scientist flick from the early 50 . there be some great moment and mostly due to the amazing special effect and to the very idea of an invisible man stalk the street . but ala and soon be back in the cramped confinement of the underground lab and which mean that the rest of the film be not only predictable and but schematic . there have be a great many remake of old film or tv show over the past 10 year and and some of them have their charm . but it become clearer and clearer for each film that the idea of put ol classic under the nose of eager madman like verhoeven ( who do have his moment ) be a very bad one . it be obvious that the money be the key issue here represent the time and energy put into the script be nowhere near enough and and a a result and hollow man be seriously undermine with clichés and sappy character and predictability and lack of any depth whatsoever . however and the one thing that actually impress me and beside the special effect and be the swearing . when make this kind of film and modern producer be very keen on allow kid to see them . therefore and the language ( and and sometimes and the violence and sex ) be very toned down . when the whole world blow up and the good guy go oh darn . and oh my god . hollow man gratefully discard that kind of hypocrisy and the character be at liberty to say what come most natural to them . i be not say that the most natural response to something go wrong be to swear but it make it more believable if someone actually swear . i think we can thank verhoeven for that .
