Hollow Man II [2006]

I have not seen the original Hollow Man but apparently it doesn't matter. This movie was clearly made as a quick cash grab that only required Christian Slater to be on set for one day. 

Basically, he's invisible and out for revenge against the doctor who did this to him, but we don't even really learn the backstory until more than halfway through the film. We spent the whole first half not really sure why anything was happening at all. The lead is Peter Facinelli a.k.a. not Tom Cruise a.k.a. the doctor dad from Twilight. Both his character and the doctor character are incredibly dumb and make consistently stupid decisions throughout the film while having the barest amount of romantic tension. They do manage against the odds to take down ghost!Slater but with our lead having to become invisible in the process. It feels sort of like a sequel set up but that clearly wasn't going to happen. In the end, we got a few laughs from the invisible prank-like behavior but it was a lot of groaning.
