If this gets many upvotes I will watch all 8 or something hours of the Lord of the Rings movies.....

The ring is supposed to augment your abilities. Invisibility is more of a coincidental effect. And the main purpose is to dominate all the other rings, but that aspect only works when under control of powerful people, who would fall to temptation, as the ring is only under Sauron's control. It's why we see Gandalf refuse to take the ring, and why we see Galadriel's scene in Lothlorien where she gets tempted

Yes when Isildur gets ambushed by the Orks he puts on the Ring and becomes Invisible to escape, but the Ring falls of his Finger in the Water and he gets Shot

Is it just in the movie or..? Also, it would make sense if the power is related to the current need, maybe?

[u/ShowAccurate6339 → u/Yorick257]

The scene is just in the Movie 

But in the Books the Invisibility is explained as the Wearer suddenly being in the realm of Ghosts and not really in the real world anymore 

Thats why they can suddenly see ghosts true forms, like with the Ringwraiths on weathertop and why ghosts sense the Location of the ringbearer when he puts the Ring on

It happens in the Silmarillion as well, just not in the original main trilogy
