Movie Reviews of The Invisible Man: Season One
Movie Review: Chemistry
Summary: 5 Stars
The best thing about this show was the chemistry between the actors. I could happily listen to Vincent Ventresca and Paul Ben-Victor for hours. They kicked so much butt on this show I don't know why I have not seen them cast together again on another show. They were amazing in this.Movie Review: Wish there were more
Summary: 4 Stars
This was an awesome show. I just started watching the DVD set, & it definitely stands the test of time very well .I LOVED this show - definitely worth the $ to watch it again. As with most shows I like, it was cut short before its time. I highly recommend it - makes me laugh & it's clever & ahead of its time.Movie Review: We Need Some Invisible Man Movies
Summary: 5 Stars
First, the product: 5 discs with the episodes on a single side gets an A+ with me. The pilot plus 23 other episodes for season 1 (plus a bonus ep from season 2) makes the price very nice. I hope we see season two soon. This truly is one of the best things that the Sci-Fi Channel has done. They could improve their ratings by showing reruns of great shows like this rather than the usual poor excuses for movies. If they want to improve Saturday nights, they need to get the gang back together and make some Invisible Man movies. Movie Review: Season 2 please!
Summary: 5 Stars
Beside great performances from the two leads, Vincent Ventresca and Paul Ben Victor and "the official"(sorry don't know the actors' name), the other partner--wherever this was shot-- make this an stylin' beauty. But why, oh why, does Sci Fi channel so often drop their best properties too early??? There should be a law that anything they cancel prematurely can do a demi season to close properly. And a special smelly pointy place in hell for series killers. It's rude baby killing. Rude. Movie Review: It's about time!
Summary: 5 Stars
Alas, poor I-Man, you were taken from us far too soon. It's about time jilted fans got a DVD release. Amid a slew of mediocre shows and some truly awful Scifi Original Movies, the Invisible Man was a diamond in the rough. And, as with most of my favorite shows, was cancelled suddenly for no apparent reason.
The show tells the story of Darien Fawkes (played by the talented and underappreciated Vincent Ventresca), one-time thief and con-man who ends up playing guinea pig in his older brother's secret government experiment. Unfortunately, Kevin is killed, leaving Fawkes with a highly-experimental, incredibly unstable synthetic gland implanted in his brain, and no way of removing it without killing him. And then there's Quicksilver Madness; without frequent shots of a chemical cocktail called counteragent, the gland that allows him to go incognito sometimes turns him into a homicidal psychopath. Enter the Agency, a super-secret government research facility operating under the guise of the Department of Fish and Game, headed by a caustic, overweight jerk known as the Official (Eddie Jones). However, despite the fine mess he's found himself in, Fawkes becomes the center of a motley crew of paranoid agents, brilliant scientists and bizarre bureaucrats.
I-Man was well written, well acted, witty and thought-provoking, probably one of the best shows that the Scifi Channel has ever put out. Fawkes and Hobbes (Paul-Ben Victor) make quite the comedic pair (think classic comedy duos), Eberts, the Official's earnest, geeky assistant, is hilarious, and the Keeper (Shannon Kenny), the mysterious, dry-witted doctor assigned to take over Project Quicksilver after Kevin Fawkes' death, is an interesting character as well.
This was a brilliant, fun show that ended before it's time. I hope they don't make us wait forever for season 2...
