this film kicked ass, and heres why! (read!)

Agreed. Solid direct-to-DVD entertainment with especially good production values, as well as an appearance by a notable actor (other performances are fine, too, even if the female lead lacks a bit of charisma).
I didn't notice any cast member returning from the first one, which would have been an added bonus (even a secondary character), but other than than, you can't really fault Hollow Man II.

The original Hollow Man is one of my favorite movies of all time. I don't usually have high expectations for sequels but I must say I actually thought this was a very good one! I was really thrilled by the opening scene with Griffin beating up Dr. Villiers at the party. In this movie we can see the invisible man in action right from the start in an effective way! Well ok, there wasn't anything special about the story but I think all the things (even the cheap tricks) worked in this film and I had fun watching it!

I should watch Basic Instinct 2 next, I'm interested in seeing all these sequels to Paul Verhoeven films.

Most people are so ungrateful to be alive, but not you, not anymore.

This movie was surprisingly good, if you think that this was straight to dvd.
I wasnt expecting anything from this movie, so I was pretty pleased.

As far as SciFi Channel movies go it was ok, not as bad as many of the movies they show are. This isn't science fiction though.

I also liked this movie. Thinking about it, the reason is probably because I was disappointed in the first one. I saw the first with my friend and we were impressed by the spfx but were annoyed by the story. It's been a while since I saw it, but I think we both agreed that it would have been a more interesting movie if Kevin Bacon's character hadn't been such an immoral a**hole BEFORE he went invisible. It was pretty obvious that a self-centered jerk was gonna lose it with a heady ability like that. Usually in invisible man movies, it's about how the power of that corrupts people and they go mad. He went WAY too easy to some murderous creep and was pretty predictable in that sense. You couldn't really reason with him before he became invisible, good luck convincing him that he's doing anything wrong after.

The storyline in this one was much more interesting to me and I was surprised that for a sequel and direct to DVD film that it was as good as it was.

There are a couple of sequels to sci-fi/horror films that I tend to like more than the originals, even though the budgets were lower. This was one. Vampires 2: Los Muertos was another. I'm sure there are a few others that just don't come to mind right now. The sequels I like better are most likely because I was disappointed in the originals from the get-go, but if you like the originals, I suppose I could see why you wouldn't like the sequels. Also, I suppose, the first movies tend to be B-movies already, just with A-list casts and spfx. Nothin' wrong with B-movies though, to me. If you're a sci-fi/horror fan, it's kinda your bread and butter. ;-)
