A M Whole thing is good but worth it for the last shot alone. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Dave S As a general rule of thumb, any movie whose title starts with ‘The Amazing…' is probably not going to be amazing, so don't fall for the title trickery. Case in point: The Amazing Transparent Man, the story of a mad scientist who, through his invisibility machine, plans to create an invisible army to take over the world. All goes smoothly until…well…it doesn't. Yes, the story is preposterous, but what really drags down the movie are the outstandingly bad production values. The only saving grace in this low-budget mess is the fact that it clocks in at just under an hour. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/24 Full Review Georgan G Another from the 50 Movie Pack Sci Fi Classics. Despite its many faults, this movie is campy & fun. The special effects are especially amateurish. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/25/23 Full Review Blobbo X Is B&W so won't keep you from falling asleep. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/20/23 Full Review stu b No frills--or thrills-sci-fi. When a hardened criminal busts out of prison--only to find himself being recruited to serve as a guinea pig in some hush-hush invisibility experiments--danger, double-crosses, and, of course, a bank heist or two soon follow...not to mention the ex-con's own misgivings (the experiments are slowly killing him) about allowing himself to be experimented on in the first place. Think: Claude Rains' "Invisible Man", only without the classy black-and-white photography, superior writing and acting, and impish sense of humor. Complete with a heavy-handed warning at the very end about the dangers of radioactivity. Its one saving grace: at a little under an hour, it's mercifully short. Not recommended. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/19 Full Review kevin w The threat? What evil advantage will an invisible person perpetuate? The problem (at least for director Edgar G. Ulmer)? How to portray that threat w/o any production money. Well, he can't. He intimates, but that's as far as he can go. The result is a so-so effort that never really goes anywhere. Oh, it threatens to go ... but it doesn't. Eh. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
