OK get the f*** outta here with your BS.
she ran to the basement, got the suit, put on the suit, slashed his throat, changed, put the suit in the bag, and THEN played theatrics.
also Adrian was a genius and didn't sense Cecilia's intentions? i thought he could read her like a book. AND he kept the second suit for evidence? LOL
movie = 1.5/5 stars at best.
I felt they sped up that sequence for the viewers. Plus they had to wrap up the movie. We already had the idea of what was going to happen, so they didn't want to drag it out.
shareoh ok, they didn't want to drag out a movie that already dragged out for 2 hours.
=)
:-)
shareAt least the Invisible Man didn't go around spewing out one liners and laughing at the top of his lungs.
shareI personally loved the original! It was completely nuts.
shareI like the original. But I also liked this one for being scary. The original though made over 70 years ago was not made to even really be that scary. The director is pretty honest about making it more a comedy than a horror film. I prefer James Whales' Frankenstein movies. Though Una O Connor in Bride of Frankenstein does bring it down imo from being as good as the first. That's kind of my issue with the Invisible Man. Neither Frankenstein or Dracula had as much over the top and silly acting as the Invisible Man. Not saying Whales directed Dracula. Just that it happens to be a horror movie from back then that doesn't have silly or over the top acting in it.
shareIt did need some trimming.
shareI thought she arrived with the suit?
I felt like the ending was inspired by Gone Girl, where she fakes being raped for the camera.
There's that scene where she is in the house, she has the suit, and she's in that big closet. She doesn't come out with it, so I figured she put it somewhere in there, then retrieved it at the film's end.
shareUm hello , she took that suit from earlier in the film when she snuck in the house and she hid the suit in her secret compartment in her closet.
sharec'mon.. she most definitely did not do that.
shareShe deff did when she snuck in the house and activated his machine which created or showed the suit
shareRewatch the movie that’s literally exactly what she did.
There’s an entire scene showing her going into the closet and hiding it. Then in the scene in the bathroom we see the bedroom behind her so she is very near the closet.
It’s not strange she got the suit so quickly.
What is strange is that she knew exactly how to operate it. We saw it had to be deactivated with a control while it was in the hanger. What we don’t ever see is if there is an easy way to activate it once on.
That’s the real BS that she could easily handle this very advanced technology and figured out in that short time.
Quickly changing into a suit, cool whatever not impossible and only slightly implausible. Knowing how to operate the suit instantly, very implausible bordering on impossible.
Exactly.
shareShe hid the suit earlier, when she first came to the house and found it? She stashed it somewhere...then took it with her after killing him to hide the evidence, I guess.
But I agree that after killing him, she came back out way too fast to watch him die. Didn't seem like she'd had enough time to change out of it. In fact, it wasn't until the cop saw it in her bag that I knew for sure that it'd been her, and not some accomplice, somehow.
it just felt like the ending was yada-yada-yada's for shock value VS it actually made sense.
that's all.
I think that the idea was that: She had gotten to the point that she had become as much a sociopath as he was. So, he couldn't read her now like he did before.
We also wonder, at least a bit, if Adrian really did all that stalking of her, or if it was the brother. That deepens the idea that she's crossed over to being able to kill as easily as the person doing all these other killings.
Unfortunately the movie doesn’t let us think that it was only the brother.
There is no reason at all the brother would have offered her that deal. It would have made more sense for him to want her staying locked up so he gets all the money and gets back at her because twist his brother did kill himself and the lawyer brother wants revenge and all the money.
Making the deal to go back to Adrian essentially proves Adrian was involved because there is no reason for the brother to want to make a deal like that. Not to mention he actually has a job and I imagine a life where he can’t spend all day and night spying on this woman in the suit. Whereas Adrian being dead very much could only getting his brother to do it every now and then so he can get some rest.
It easily could have done more to subvert expectations but seems it wanted a pretty clean cut ending where the bad guy dies and the hero walks away.
Yeah.
I assumed she hid the suit from when she was at his house days earlier, but that doesn't make much sense because are we supposed to believe that he didn't notice his second suit was missing? And that he wouldn't have searched the entire house to find it before she arrived for dinner? And that he was dumb enough to not be able to figure out her incredibly obvious intentions?
He faked his death? They had a picture of him dead on the floor with blood all around him but it wasn't really him? WTF? Does he have cloning technology too? Of course they didn't go into any depth with that or try to explain anything because there's no way that would have made any sense.
Also, does the suit give you super strength? He took out like a dozen guards, and half of them he only hit once and they were either dead or knocked out. When she puts on the suit she's able to overpower him at the dinner table and make him cut his throat.
We're supposed to believe that he literally spent all night with her locked into her SECURE bedroom each night at the treatment facility? Does the suit have a filtration system or does he just sh*t his pants when he has to use the bathroom? There is no way he would use her bathroom at night because those make a lot of noise. And how was he able to enter a secure facility like that in the first place, coming and going from rooms that require security codes, badges, internal officers to unlock, etc.? And how was his brother the attorney going to simply "make it all go away?" Tons of very lazy writing there.
I guess the authorities decided to leave the dog behind even after someone came and covered everything, obviously because no one was going to be living there. Dumb.
The whole film would have worked better in my opinion if she was really delusional, similar to The Machinist. But the politics of today sort of overpower everything I guess.
Yeah, there was some iffy shit going on but overall it was pretty captivating.
This is the problem I have with horror or thriller movies generally - plausibility.
Whose body was found then? That's what I want to know. Did I miss a throwaway line that explained that?
Also, he's wearing a suit that must have metal in it since it's made of digital cameras, yet she clearly goes through metal detectors in it. He didn't set off alarms?
The whole movie I was just wondering why she didn't check into a nice hotel. Her room would have had one door to go in and out and she could have put a chair against the door so it wouldn't open. She would have at least kept her friends safe and could isolate for a bit.
His suicide was announced on internet (so it could be easily faked or was someone else) and then the pictures were shown by his brother who was his accomplice.
But I agree with everything else you said.
The story would have been amazing if it was the girl who has planned all this from the start to get his money
I liked it at the beginning where it was all very like tense and did give a bit of is he here is he not here. Like it could have been her just being overly paranoid. They honestly should have played that up a lot more.
I mean I don’t want to actually have her turn out to be paranoid and seeing things I do still want it to be an invisible man. But they could have dragged it out more and kept the audience guessing a bit longer.
It was a fun intense movie that once it’s finished you do realise that holy crap there are a lot of problems with it that make the suspense of disbelief a bit to high in my opinion.
Dude - the film has plenty of logical fallacies - not just the ending.
My issues - anytime someone tries to fight the invisible person, they either can't grab him (as if he's a ghost entity), or they cannot overpower him/her (even when they are clearly more fit than the person in the suit).
So, yeah, they gave the suit a few extra abilities, which director uses in random and often illogical manner - the ability to become intangible (it manifests in a few fight sequences - like the one with the black cop, when he was protecting his daughter) and the ability to double or triple your strength (this seems to be used in nearly every fight sequence - maybe the suit really does have this ability?).
This movie had a good soundtrack and journeyman levels of directing at times. ie. it had a slick skin. In all other ways, it was a dumpster fire. This movie was shit. 3/10
