What a waste of my time!!!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Sure, I'll be the bad guy! I know it's PC to think girls can kick guys' ass, but let's be real...no. That's the premise of this movie. Buff and even mediocre built guys are scared of a petite girl that threatens them. Mind you, the buff, incarcerated guy has obviously done some bad stuff and he's supposed to ne scared of this girl that threatens him? Uhhh...no! Then the quiet, meek guy is about to see his best friend murdered and this same dainty girl threatens him to take no action and his friend is killed. Uh...what? The the meek guy is killed because of this same lame dame and he comes back as a ghost-ish! (Probably the only creative element in story). Essentially, she's responsible for his death...so you'd think he'd hate her. Duh! Well he does until he follows her around (invisible) and the sees she's nice to a little brother that they are both harshly treated by a father. But that pales intro comparison of when he follows her to a night club and sees her dancing by herself. Then..! It's boner city and he forgives her for killing him and wants to help her help him! Sound lame? Then this is the movie others are rating high!!! Wtf?!!!

That THE INVISIBLE is so obviously a film aimed at teenagers (and full of 'teenspeak' and the like) is one of the main problems it has. It's also not an invisible man story, which I couldn't help but be disappointed by, but more of a ghost film with a twist. Director David S. Goyer seems to be a big name in Hollywood these days with his scripts for superhero movies, but this is more in line with the Full Moon Pictures fare he started out doing.Justin Chatwin (DRAGONBALL EVOLUTION) is the bland hero who suffers a violent fate at the hands of some local drug dealers and is thus trapped in a kind of limbo state, much like in the (better) GHOST. Honestly, his character isn't so bad, but the stakes are kind of low and I didn't care much about whether he lived or died. The whole hanging-around-people-grieving thing is rather clichéd while the mystery and detection aspects of the narrative are poorly handled.Worst of all is supporting character Annie, played by the cold Margarita Levieva. The viewer is supposed to invest in her character as she undergoes some redemptive character arc, but I couldn't stand her from beginning to end, and the end is just cheesy by the way. So no, this attempt at making a LOVELY BONES-style fantasy film for teenagers has too many problems to be a success.

Watched the trailer for this film and it looked pretty decent but really wasn't. The whole plot is poor and predictable all the way through. None of the scenes fit together and are way to unrealistic...I know the film was meant to be that way but they just took it too far and would not recommend watching!!!They have tried to copy films in this category but I feel as though they have taken a step backwards. Also the trailer that I watched for the film and the actually film its self were completely different, not sure if America got a different version but it certainly looked better than the UK one.

I'd recommend watching it if you haven't seen it.  I agree that it isn't as it seems from the trailers, but that should not deter you from seeing it.  The trailers make it seem like this guy is in limbo and he has to solve his own death to come back alive... or was it to go to the afterlife... I forget.  But that isn't how the movie is.  The story is about high schooler Nick Powell, who is an aspiring writer, and how he was wrongfully accused of something he didn't do, all because his best friend falls in deep with a criminally troubled fellow high schooler.  Nick Powell was attacked and left for dead, hanging on the balance between life and death.  The only one able to hear, and ultimately help him recover, is his attacker.Having said that, the movie is what it is; a psychological thriller with a little bit of drama and character development thrown in there.  Now maybe that's not what you were expecting... which might be why most people didn't like it... but there is absolutely nothing wrong with this movie.  Well I mean nothing wrong with it being a psychological thriller with a bit of drama thrown in.Some of the camera shots and acting were a bit weird at times, but overall it was a deep, and somewhat emotional movie that I would recommend watching.  Don't believe everything you hear and read... in order to really know if a movie is good or not, you have to watch and judge for yourself... at least that's what I believe.
