Perfect movie for Generation Idiot. Everything about it is mediocre and not properly thought through. I didn't feel the chills or the thrills but that's the kind of rubbish they make nowadays.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To be completely honest, after watching this movie, I am shocked to see a 7.1 from both the audience and critics, that rarely lines up, and usually, both aren't so horrendously wrong. I went in with low expectations from Blumhouse, after their last few movies they have felt like a shadow of who they used to be and this movie reflects that, loudly. The Invisible Man is one of the worst movies I have seen this year and I am an avid moviegoer who goes typically 3-5 times a month. Not only does it have multiple moments where it appears to be ending (sort of like the false endings in LoTR), but it just continuously drags on with so very little going on at damn near every point of the f***ing movie. I'd say the beginning of the movie was the most interesting part, but they never build or show their relationship, we have no way of knowing just how terrible Adrian really was to her. It seemed odd that they refused to show the abusive relationship, I mean, the movie is over 2 hours long, and there's next to nothing about their relationship. I think the movie possibly could have benefitted from showing how **** of a person Adrian actually was in their relationship. Instead, we get he-said-she-said type of **** that never amounts to much.

Compared to the original's charm, it has nothing going for it. The twist is lame and illogical (also predictable), and large parts of the movie just do not add up. For instance, during her daring escape from the mental institute, no one is seeing the people get murdered? They all assume it is her and when she passes by the guard station, you can clearly see cameras, RECORDING EVERYWHERE (as a mental institution does), and yet nothing, no one is saying "Hey, there's a knife floating and she's either killing men with her mind, or her story is legit." Most of the big twists in the movie or the big shock moments also take place in a public setting, so you're telling me that no one in the restaurant saw a knife floating except for her and her sister? You're telling me they couldn't have shown footage in the restaurant of a floating knife??? Do you mean to tell me that the cops didn't go to check the footage? You're going to tell me they didn't see A F***ING KNIFE FLOATING??? Give me a break from reality, but not this big of a disconnect. Also, why does the little girl believe she hit her when she's clearly on the other side of the room? None of it adds up, the only suspense and disbelief comes from how laughably unbelievable the film is at moments.

Also, after she shoots and stabs the suit, how would it just blink and go in and out? That's literally not how it would work, once she disconnects/destroys a camera it would act more like a dead pixel that would be constant, it wouldn't make half of the suit blink, did no one explain how electric current and cameras work? Drab. The best way to describe this movie is by calling a drab, drag-fest that goes on for what feels like a f***ing eternity, my theater had people walking out or laughing during highly suspenseful and intelligent dialogue such as "He's invisible! It means you can't see him!!!" I mean, wow, so profound, thank you for defining the meaning of "invisible", I really needed help on that! I'm not sure how this movie has such high ratings, it was just plain-out bad and predictable at every point. Though the writing doesn't treat the audience as poorly as the writers did in The Dead Don't Die (where they explain the f***ing plot and 'hidden' meaning on multiple occasions), it still feels insulting when they introduce us to plot points that just make literally no sense, and that's the problem with The Invisible Man, it almost makes no sense from start to finish. I also feel like the twist where it was his brother was meant to make us think "Oh my God! What if it wasn't him!!!!" but, tbh, at that point, I was so f***ing checked out of the movie I was only thinking "Jesus f***ing Christ, it's going to keep going for another f***ing 40 minutes."… Expand

What does a multimillionaire and a genius of science care about an absolutely nondescript gray mouse? The logic "he began to persecute me because I refused him" is normal for a virgin schoolboy, but not for a successful man. In addition to the stupidity of this plot move, it is also banal. As well as the rest of this film. The heroine's friend is black. Besides mediocrity, the plot of the film is very boring, predictable and full of plot holes. How could the heroine terrorize her walled-up husband? (logic goes to hell) Well, the cherry on the cake is the lack of talent of Elisabeth Moss.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Characters with literally zero background, a man in a suit who watched the Predator too many times (the suit even sounds like one), terrible writing and jumpscares putting me to sleep. Predictable af.

The beginning was somewhat decent but as soon as the invisible man popped up and his desire to have the baby which lead to zero suspense since he didn't want to hurt her anymore even though he beat her up pretty badly just a few minutes earlier. Yes, his plan changed to hurting her "loved ones" but the **** do I care. No background, no development, they didn't even explain who her friends are other than dropping the names. If you are one of those "turn your brain off" muppets and like lazy jumpscares, enjoy. But hey, not that there's anything wrong with that. Elizabeth Moss did a great job though.… Expand

Because Leigh Whannell is on board, thought it would be different than the usual Blumhouse fluff, but was proven wrong. It's a film that really requires a suspension of disbelief right from the get go in order to enjoy some jumpscaresBecause Leigh Whannell is on board, thought it would be different than the usual Blumhouse fluff, but was proven wrong. It's a film that really requires a suspension of disbelief right from the get go in order to enjoy some jumpscares throughout. Essentially a ripoff of "Gaslight," "Hollow Man," and "Enough" in a premise right up front with massive holes. The CGI effects are terrible, as the killer looks like something more out of the 90s in the way he flashes around versus at least having equal quality to that as the aforementioned Hollow Man or even Terminator 2. So we are told he's some kind of genius optics scientist, meanwhile his appearance looks terrible by scientific standards. We are made to believe that the protagonist in the film has no friends, no family outside of her sister, and no alternative other than to stick within 15 miles of where the killer resides. One key plot point that is poorly explained is how there was no police-based death certificate or verification of his death in the way it is presented. Meanwhile, Cecilia is constantly around her police friend James, so something doesn't add up. Even as I type this, I realize how preposterous the whole movie was.

Look, like typical Blumhouse fare, if you're looking to bring your girlfriend/boyfriend for some jumpscares amidst over the top musical scoring (reminded me of something Tarantino would parody), this movie is for you. But even if the age of Harvey Weinstein, there is nothing compelling here storywise beyond that, and it's clear that Blumhouse is a profit shop trying to exploit the #MeToo era of sincere issues. The villain Adrian and his motives for violence are poorly developed, the story has gaping holes in logic, and you can only look at the protagonist uglied up and deranged looking for so many minutes before you say to yourself "I Get the Point." Really, an awful movie - the only reason I give it 2/10 instead of 1/10 is so people don't dismiss the review.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ugh. If you have braincells and would like to keep them, you should probably avoid this horrific disaster of a movie. Girl does the impossible to get away from crazy mofo, has a dingbat of a sister and isn’t even slightly concerned when a letter suddenly shows up to a house where she’s supposed to have been in hiding from the entire universe. Um ok....

Despite all this “Goldigger” decides she wants the cash and goes to collect...

This movie is soooo painful to watch. Do yourself a favor and skip it and read the original book instead. So much better.

20 minutes in, atrocious and fast forwarded to an awful ending.

The film is full of things that make no sense at all. Multiple times there are security cameras that fail to see a floating knife? The invisible suit apparently makes you super strong and combat capable? A man's daughter gets hit by a woman in his house so he leaves the woman alone in his house, instead of kicking the woman out? The list goes on and on with this film. This is trash all the way through. Some of the CGI looks pretty bad too, there are moments the invisible man moves with zero weight or physics, looks really stupid. I have no idea why anyone would say this is good, unless they're super politically biased and liked the #metoo allegory. I like the allegory part as well, but sadly that's the only thing good about the film.… Expand

I thought it would have been good, had she had a split personality, or he was telling her the truth before he died. Something interesting, but nope.

A movie about some super rich, super smart and very attractive young man, who has invented a suit that makes him invisible and who doesn’t have any other purpose in life, than to hurt his ugly girlfriend. Even the scenes with the suit are completely illogical as the person wearing it obviously interact with the rest of the physical world by his wish (like his footprints are perfectly visible on the blanket, but few second before on the carpet are not). All characters of the move act also completely illogical. The movie contains a couple of scary ghosts move like moments and that’s about all that is worth…… Expand

Overrated and not that scary. The Invisible Man 2020 is essentially a Hollow Man re-skin except without the awesome special effects and plausable invisibility tech creation storyline of the latter. In fact there's absolutely zero explanationOverrated and not that scary. The Invisible Man 2020 is essentially a Hollow Man re-skin except without the awesome special effects and plausable invisibility tech creation storyline of the latter. In fact there's absolutely zero explanation as to how The Invisible Man 2020 invisibility tech was created or why. It's presented in a cliche Tony Stark / Bruce Wayne style. The well-worn origin story of a rich, genius man's gadget filled basement in a mansion but this time there happens to be an invisibility suit there. This method of introduction just seems out of place for one of the most important discoveries in human history.

The motivations of the villain in The Invisible Man 2020 (Adrian) seem solely that of a domestic violence perpetrator. Unfortunately there's almost no character development for Adrian apart from a few glimpses of him before he turns into the Invisible Man so it's quite difficult to relate to his extreme and ridiculously complex reaction to Cecilia ending their relationship. Then it's straight into the invisible revenge craziness which quickly becomes far to elaborate to be believable even in a fantasy way.

In all honesty, in the invisibility genre Hollow Man is a better movie. It's scarier, more disturbing and ultimately more complete of an invisibility fantasy movie and demonstrates well the absolute power of invisibility corrupting absolutely.… Expand

Oh and there's a bit where the main character (she's not good btw) gets evidence to prove beyond doubt that her claims are true. So she of course stashes it instead of take it with her.
