This movie absolutely blew my mind! To think that this movie was made in 1933 is incredible. Now, I will admit that I have a soft spot in my heart for Hollywood's classic monster movies, but this is genuinely incredible. The visual effects to create the Invisible Man are spectacular. Sure they do the classic (I guess in this case they'd be the original) invisible effects; doors opening, glasses being thrown, books dropping, and the like, but when you first see the Invisible Man start to unwrap his bandages and he is truly invisible underneath, you cannot help but be amazed at how great it looks. Toss aside the annoying innkeepers wife, what deficiencies the story may have (I'm not necessarily saying it has any), and anything else you may see as a detraction. What negatives this movie may possess are completely overshadowed by the brilliance it definitely contains. I cannot get over how blown away I was; this is why you watch movies, and it is a borderline religious experience to have a movie that is nearly 80 years old do such a thing.
