Uhh my head, it hurts really bad, and my eyes too. Why did I watch this crappy flick? Let me start off with saying that I hated the first flick, I'm not a big fan of Kevin Bacon, but it wasn't just him, the whole movie sucked. So since the first movie was so bad, I figured that the sequel might be better. Yeah I know, I should get my head examined. I never expected Hollow Man 2 to be a good movie, but I thought that it could might have some entertainment value. But now after I watched the movie, I can't recall the last time when I got so freakin bored.
Even though there was a lot of stuff that happened the movie throughout, it was still extremely boring. Maybe because it was all too predictable, and you knew EVERYTHING that were gonna happen. While watching this shitfest, it hit me just how meaningless this movie really was. It looks like it had a pretty decent budget and everything, but it was basically just like the name says, hollow. Most irritating thing when it comes to movies like this is that there are so many potential writers and directors out there who never gets a chance because they don't have the money to do their films, or just never gets a shot at it. And then we see movies like this, that costs a lot of money but contributes with nothing more than a braindead script and a lot of pointlessness.
Christian Slater's on the loose. He used to be some solider that took part in some experiment of becoming invisible. Now he's killing off people and must be stopped. The police, the FBI, the National Security and all the rest tries their best, but in the end only Peter Facinelli who's a detective can stop him by becoming what the assassin is; invisible. ZZzzzZzzzzz.
I have nothing against Christian Slater, he's not a great actor but has been in some cool flicks. Although, seeing him in Alone in the Dark was quite horrible, but that was not really his fault since everything that movie had to offer was true garbage. Peter Facinelli is an actor that I actually like, but not here though. Again, it's not this guy's fault either, it's just the script that sucks so much goat balls. I can't really understand why they made a sequel to such a crappy flick in the first place.
Look, just save yourself the headache and don't watch Hollow Man 2, it's so not worth the time. It suffers from a horrible script and the movie is so predictable it's simply ridiculous. The action scenes are not cool, and even if the CGI does not look bad, it still doesn't add anything positive to the film itself. Avoid this and go and rent Fletch instead and have a good time.
