Movie Reviews of The Invisible Man
Movie Review: Rains at his best
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie starts on a snowy night with a man, bandages around his head, a fake looking nose and dark glasses, looking for a place to stay. The film has the expressive voice of Claude Rains who is driven mad by the side effects of the invisibility drug. After killing a policeman, he becomes a hunted man. (I learned from one of the extras on the DVD that Boris Karloff was originally offered the role.) The effects are impressive (explained in the extras) where Rains removes his glasses to reveal nothing at all. The film offers plenty of humor e.g., shirt dancing around and a pair of pants chasing a woman down the road.Movie Review: One of the only times they bring a book to screen RIGHT
Summary: 5 Stars
Now I'm not saying this is better than the book, i'm just saying that this is how I would have done it! Griffen( I know that's spelled wrong) has turned himself invisble. So what the big deal? Well, he can't turn back, making him a freak. After a group of people ruined an exsperiment that could have turned him back, he goes crazy and goes on a killing spree. Some of this kills are really disturbing( like the seen were he kills his so called "partner") and has just as good as an effect on scarying you then most mordern day horror flicks. Let's give a bid round of applause to everyone invoulved. This ones a classic.Movie Review: The sinister perspective!
Summary: 5 Stars
Under the light of more than seventy three years elapsed, we should assume another perspective at the moment to consider its relevant significance. James Whale was the acclaimed director of Frankenstein and Claude Rains (Notorious and Casablanca) make the best they can in which to put asunder the phantasmagoric and the incisive metaphor beneath the script.
A true milestone of the cinema. For many modernists it may be dated, but nobody will be able to deny that in 1933 this must be a horror film in the broad sense of the term.
Movie Review: Another masterpiece from director Whale
Summary: 5 Stars
This adaptation of HG Wells's novella has everything: A great script by RC Sherriff; an exemplary cast headed up by then-unknown Rains in the title role, who has the perfect vocal presence for the part; some irresistibly funny humour; thrills and suspense; and fairly impressive special effects for its era. Whale generates just the right atmosphere from the opening shots, and the story's English setting is a delight in his capable hands.Movie Review: Being Invisible Has Driven Him Completely Mad!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a great way of having a monster good time. Claude Rains is spectacular in his first big movie role and it is his voice we hear most often. He doesn't appear until the end. Great clever special effects and one really good one of an invisible man sitting in a rocking chair, smoking a cigarette. James Whale is the great director and has done a good job with this one. Have fun!
