Very best movie i ever watch

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Griffith plays a sinister, ruthless villain, and Kennedy does well as an early example of an antihero. The movie is far better than the title and many of these pretentious reviews would have you believe. This film has the skeleton of an entertaining story, but characters change alliances and motivations far too quickly, with any explanation as to why happening off-screen or apparently not at all. I say grab you drink of choice and have fun with it. Take it too seriously and one would wonder why you wanted this in the first place. Unless you just wanted to write a pompous ass review on imdb.

Despite its shortcomings, "The Amazing Transparent Man" is smarter and better than most of the cheap sci-fi films you can find in your average movie bargain bin. It has an interesting premise, original characters and at just under an hour, it moves quickly so you won't be bored. There's some sci-fi mumbo jumbo to explain the invisibility, some pretty laughable special effects, but you can tell there was some effort put into this. The special effects aren't always awful either, I'd say most of the time they're passable. The ending is where the movie really shines, which is what makes up for the rough spots. If you're at all curious about this one or if you are a fan of these older quickie sci-fi flicks, this is one of the better ones. If you're not one of the connoisseurs though, I don't know if there's going to be anything here for you. (Dvd, September 20, 2012)

Ah, now this one gets a bad rap here, but it's too short to be tedious and too cute to be annoying. At 57 minutes, you've got a nice compact sci-fi film that won't tax your brain too much (unless you try thinking about the plot).Joey Faust gets busted from the barry hole by a dame, and gets taken to a farmhouse run by a mysterious and shifty ex-army guy who wants to use both Joey's lockpicking skills and a mad scientist's invisible ray gun to create an army of invisible men. That's good stuff right there.After turning a guinea pig invisible, Joey kind of eventually agrees to go for it, and I liked that the moment he turned invisible he started beating the shifty guy up. Joey's out for an invisible score but he finds one problem - the ray's effects don't last that long. What's a career criminal to do? Find redemption by rescuing the mad scientist's daughter?Never dull, full of banter and daft effects, punch ups and the mad scientist asking the audience a direct question I was too thick to understand, I really liked this little film. Loved the stock footage nuke blasts too!

Douglas Kennedy is the escaped convict who becomes The Amazing Transparent Man as the result of a laboratory experiment by Dr. Ivan Triesault under the direction of perennial movie villain James Griffith. In fact Kennedy was busted out of jail for just that purpose.Griffith is a guy who thinks big, create an army of these invisible men and you can really dictate to whomever you please. In fact the only problem then is to create invisible weapons for the army to use. But one step at a time. He busts Kennedy out of prison because Kennedy is a safe cracker and he needs his skills. But Kennedy dreams on a smaller scale just let him become invisible and look at all the bank jobs he'll pull. That in and of itself is a conflict.But invisibility has a price. What Kennedy has to steal is fissionable uranium because that's the key ingredient for Triesault. As we well know from life and from films radiation exposure carries a price. Do I have to draw you a picture?The Amazing Transparent Man was shot on a chump change budget and gets rather dull in spots. But the film is still one campy hoot reminder of those paranoid Cold War days.
