24 years later, surprisingly still awesome

I watched Hollow Man in theaters and maybe once after that. I remember liking it. All these years later as a much more seasoned movie fiend, I expected this to be outdated, cheesy and bad. Yet I found myself enjoying it from beginning to end.It barely feels dated. The visual effects are a thousand times better than I expected them to be. The pacing is great with increased intensity through to the climax. There are so many suspenseful scenes as well as creepy ones.There are a few questionable parts but the movie is way smarter than the usual late 90s/early 2000s movie. It also repeatedly surprised me with the violence. Every time I think something will be implied or will happen off screen, the movie says nope, in your face. I miss when movies weren't afraid and am so sick of all the neutered PG-13 horror movies.(about 3 viewings, 6/29/2024)

A decent little film

I watched Hollow Man not expecting much but while it was flawed the film was decent. The story is predictable despite a very interesting theme complete with a rather abrupt ending, the characters are hollow particularly Elisabeth Shue's character and the script is on the weak and cheesy side. However, visually it is fantastic with the photography crisp and the effects spot on and the music from master Jerry Goldsmith is very atmospheric. A lot of scenes are genuinely suspenseful and taut and the action is well choreographed. The acting is mostly good, though I thought Shue tries a little too hard with her shallow character, with Kevin Bacon particularly impressive. All in all, decent. 7/10 Bethany Cox
