A boisterous, gooey miscue. Read full review

Baltimore SunAnn Hornaday
How can we make the entire movie disappear?

Boston GlobeJay Carr
Should have been an inaudible man movie. Every time the characters open their mouths, they hammer it deeper into the ground.

Charlotte ObserverLawrence Toppman
A painful bore. Read full review

It's not terribly interesting on the subject. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMarc Caro
The folks who made this movie apparently had nothing inside their heads, either.

Christian Science MonitorDavid Sterritt
This is fatuous twaddle with a nasty, misogynistic edge. Read full review

Dallas ObserverGregory Weinkauf
Ultimately it's an ugly, insipid rape fantasy, nothing more. Read full review

One wonders if the only original directors left are the obsessives and the freaks. This guy qualifies on both counts. Read full review

We don't even have Joe Eszterhas to blame for this one. Read full review

Maybe Kevin Bacon can use the Twinkie defense to explain Hollow Man. Read full review

If only the rest of the movie were as good as its cast. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKenneth Turan
Despite a wealth of special effects...this movie is surprisingly inert, more dull than anything else, with little to recommend it on any level. Read full review

Verhoeven's most deeply disturbing film yet.

San Francisco ChronicleEdward Guthmann
Might be a blast of ridiculous fun -- the way truly bad movies tend to be -- if it weren't so noxious and reprehensible. Read full review

San Francisco ExaminerG. Allen Johnson
A terribly bad movie, one of the worst of its kind in recent years.

SlateDavid Edelstein
Turns into a moronic, psycho-on-the-loose picture pretty quickly. Read full review

The New York TimesDana Stevens
Endure the long, slow, unraveling of this movie, which can't even muster the intelligence to be pretentious or the bravado to be amusingly bad. Read full review

TimeRichard Corliss
Too many special effects, many of them stomach churning; too much pornographically arranged death.

TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonagh
This mean-spirited invisible man movie tries to hide its poverty of fresh ideas behind a load of state-of-the-art special effects. Read full review

USA TodaySusan Wloszczyna
Ultimately the title is most revealing. It's hollow, man.
