Two winners out of five

This box set includes all of the Universal Invisible Man films with the exception of "Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man." The original "Invisible Man," directed by James Whale, is a 5-star classic which I have reviewed separately. "The Invisible Man Returns" (4 stars) is a surprisingly entertaining sequel. A young Vincent Price acquits himself well in the difficult role, using his voice and body (his face is seen only for a few moments at the end) effectively to portray a desperate man resisting, but ultimately succumbing to, madness. "The Invisible Woman" (2 stars) is a part of the series in theme only. Continuity with the earlier films is ignored in this weak slapstick effort. The handsome but uncharismatic Jon Hall takes the lead role in the final two films. "Invisible Agent" (2 ½ stars), a WWII propaganda effort in which the Invisible Man infiltrates Germany to fight the Nazis, has a few moments of real peril early on, but eventually deflates its power through the inclusion of too much pointless slapstick. "The Invisible Man's Revenge" (2 stars) eschews the clowning, but presents a mechanical plot about a wronged man using the invisibility formula to pay back the wealthy family that cheated him and left him for dead.
The first two films are worthy, but the series goes downhill from there.

The best of Universal Monster Films on DVD.
rating: 4
I actually find Invisable Man and the Invisable Man Returns to be highly entertaining and good movies, Both movies have solid performances by two great actors. A good screenplay to work with, and just enough thrills and cliff hanger endings to keep you hooked on the movie screen and see how it all turns out. The best of the genre.

The Invisible Man Movies A+
rating: 5
This is a Great old Invisible Man collection and was well worth the price. The box was a little wider but no taller than an ordinary dvd case. These films are a great series of the black and white Invisible man movies. Its great watching the old special effects and style. They are a little old but fast moving movies, if you wanted more modern color try Memoirs of an Invisible Man with Chevy Chase. If you like old monster movies you should have this set.
Watching WW2 films I was most interested in The Invisible Agent in this box set. It seemed to have a good budget and was filmed well for its time. As with other films of its era it makes the nazis look foolish but not as bad as 'Hitler, Dead or Alive'. The gestapo hunt for the Invisible Man along with interference of their allies the Japanese for the secret of invisibility while the invisible man runs to escape the nazi country with information about a nazi attack against the US. There are aircraft, explosions, uniforms and most of the film is behind enemy lines spy action. A very cool addition to any WW2 collection.
