i think i would give this a go and after spot an advert for it in a well know uk film magazine . i know hollow man 2 be in production and and a a fan of the first movie i be a little non plussed to find the sequel get a direct to dvd release . so i wasn not really expect much . i be pleasantly surprise therefore to find an engaging little movie very much in the spirit of the first ( no brain and no logic and full speed ahead with cardboard character and a plot straight from the back of a 40 year old comic ) . it have many fault christian slater just ain not up to the job any more ( but seem to be enjoy himself ) and a long and overly talky middle act and some extremely ropey visual effect ( though it have to be say that there be many good one despite the obviously low budget ) and a blatant re use of a scene from the original hollow man not very well disguise and and a conclusion that felt very rushed dare i suggest the budget run out . on the plus side however the 2 dimensional character be engage and there be one or two great jump out of seat moment and tip of the hat to not only the original movie but also hg well novel the invisible man and effective use of music ( which be all new not a rehash of goldsmith original ) and an overall sense of fun ( that executive producer paul verhoeven shin through and i think ) despite the nasty moment . to the people that be slat this say it not as good a the first and really disappointed etc etc and i simply have to wonder exactly what they be expect . shakespeare this ain not . but to the people who be open mind enough to give this an honest go and you will get out exactly what you put into it . it not shakespeare and but it certainly be hollow man . if this be the future for the hollow man franchise ( there be the obligatory but well execute set up for a hollow man 3 ) and it could be an awful and awful lot bad . bring em on .
