#Hollow man 2 watch 123 movie#
If you don’t know, the movie is about a group of scientists that come together to test invisibility serum on animals. How did he possibly create something hemorrhage-inducingly generic as Hollow Man? Which makes sense, since regardless of the qualities of his other movies they at least felt defined to something he could do. Not surprising that he regrets this film. Which is amazing given that a director with such a defined voice, Paul Thomas W S Anderson Verhoven, was at helm here. Aside from such minor gripes, the effects are pretty good especially for 2000.īut dear lord, this movie has no soul. If you wanted to emphasise the puppy’s brutal death there were better ways, possibly offscreen. Seriously, I know it’s simulated because he takes it off the screen for a split second. And so do scenes like him murdering the puppy. I do have gripes with things like how his body is deconstructed to show his insides as he becomes invisible-they do have effort put into it, sure (more than half of the film’s $90M budget was for the effects), but it still looks rather fake. The special effects are mostly solid and work best when the main character is invisible or even wet. (I am half-exaggerating, as this was one of those films promoted by fictitious critic David Manning.) They did create technology to use for their movies, after all. It’s as if Sony conned everyone into having everyone shell out $190M for a tech demo, not a movie. The only thing hollow here is the movie’s soul.
If the man really was hollow, then he would just be a shell of a being with nothing inside. That title is factually incorrect, by the way. However, if you haven't seen a movie in a very long time and are re-discovering it then exceptions may be made.

Rules Did Griffin kill the kids? Did he join in for a kinky invisible man threesome? Who knows? One thing is for sure: Verhoeven wouldn't have let the opportunity to show us what happened slip through his fingers so readily.IWAOM is a place to talk about old movies you watched for the first time as if they just came out. Worse still, the only scene that showed any potential for genuine sleaze-a pair of randy teenagers making a home made porn video discover that Griffin is in their room-is suddenly dropped without any kind of resolution. As it stands, HM2 is predictable straight to DVD junk that offers very little to fans of the first film: what effects there are have a distinctly cheap look Slater phones in the majority of his performance (he only actually appears in a brief flashback) the script and direction are bland and the film ends rather abruptly with the highly trained Griffin being defeated all too easily by Turner. If only director Claudio Fäh had taken a leaf or two out of executive producer Paul Verhoeven's book and ladled on the excess, HM2 would have been a hell of a lot more entertaining (blood, guts and boobies don't cost the earth, but are guaranteed crowd pleasers). But despite being strapped for cash, there really is no excuse for such a lame sequel, which suffers from a lacklustre plot, dull performances, and most surprisingly, a lack of trashiness.
The only problem: Griffin is invisible! The makers of Hollow Man 2 clearly didn't have the budget of the original: bad guy Griffin (Christian Slater) is invisible from the outset, saving a bundle on 'gradually disappearing human' CGI effects. Maggie Dalton (Laura Regan), who holds the formula for 'The Buffer', the top secret serum psychopathic special-forces assassin Michael Griffin (Christian Slater) needs to stay alive. Frank Turner (Peter Facinelli) and his partner Lisa Martinez (Sarah Deakins) are sent to protect pretty scientist Dr.
