Critics Consensus

Despite awesome special effects, Hollow Man falls short of other films directed by Paul Verhoeven. This flick over time degenerates into a typical horror film.

2000's 'Hollow Man' really set the standard for CGI effects for films of its era and was maybe Sony's first look at creating its own 'monsterverse'. SYNOPSIS: 'A brilliant scientist's discovery renders him invisible, but transforms him into an omnipotent, dangerous megalomaniac.' This film really is about two things: the CGI effects and Kevin Bacon's performance as the film's unhinged antagonist. Otherwise 'Hollow Man' does fall short of other films from director Verhoeven. It feels like he wanted to create a sci-fi movie but eventually ended up with something more along the lines of a horror movie. It's not a bad film but it could've been better in terms of its storyline. Instead we're dazzled with incredible effects and well laid performances from its cast, especially Bacon who goes full on crazy. It's a gory film, so probably not for the squeamish, but the internal body scenes are clearly needed for a film about an invisible man and transformation. It's a big budget popcorn pleaser of a film. 7/10

Espectacular y disfrutable, esta película fue un gran paso en la época para él acenso de los efectos digitales. Muchos de los efectos especiales están muy bien logrados y Kevin Bacon ofrece una de sus mejores interpretaciones a pesar de ser en gran parte de la película un actor de captura de movimiento. Su personaje Sebastián tiene una muy fuerte influencia del hombre invisible de la novela de H.G. Wells, ya que está muy bien escrito y desarrollado, viendo en la cinta su completo ascenso a la locura como consecuencia del experimento. Sin duda respeta la esencia del personaje creado por H.G. Wells y su mitología. La partitura de Jerry Goldsmith acompaña muy bien la película, la edición es impecable y muchas de las actuaciones son muy buenas. De las diferentes cintas que se han hecho hacer del hombre invisible, esta es una de las mejores. Mi calificación para esta película es un 10/10.

the director keeps uncomfortably aligning the invisible cinemagoer's intrinsic voyeurism with Sebastian's own, showing us to what depths of depravity the male gaze can lead.

Verhoeven's work is always fun to look at it. What's far shoddier is the story itself; it starts poorly and grows progressively worse, finally collapsing into an ending that is so laughably dreadful that I don't want to ruin it.

Deep Focus Review

[The movie] contains none of the brains or thoughtful dimensions that audiences have come to expect from Verhoeven’s visceral-yet-witty brand of cinema.

The "invisible man" idea isn't new, but the graphic nature of this film is certainly a deviously curious twist.
