Der unsichtbare Junge

Despite a couple of brillant scenes (for the one in the girls' locker room, no adjective is good enough) and a plot that may work for a less serious/adult take on the supehero genre (just because today there are adults that take superheroes seriously) the script, acting and scenographies all feel not very polished and immersive.

Even considering the obvious budget limitations - hence the professional but very basic action scenes and direction - the movie decides to follow the route of the traditional superhero tropes and doesn't capitalize on what could have made it shine: comedy.

Still some good entertainment for families with kids U15.

I'm glad I found this movie and I had a great time watching. It's entertaining and well produced. The acting is good as well, and there was humor as well. Keep in mind it's dubbed from Italian so some of the voice actors don't do the best job blending well, and sometimes I wished I could hear it in Italian and read the captioning because I enjoyed the movie so much I wanted to hear the actual actors. (Hopefully with AI now being able to do a great job of emulating a person's voice and changing the language dubbing will improve in the future.) A lot of care was taken to convert almost everything to English, most written things, and the songs as well unless they were in English already. If you enjoy fantasy movies, actually I am reminded of the TV series from the 80's Greatest American Hero, this movie is similar, and if you had seen that, then you'll sure enjoy this one. In fact I see there is a sequel, The Invisible Boy 2, which I am looking forward to watching as well, it takes place 3 years later. I think this movie is based on a comic book from what I noticed in the credits. I also liked that they showed footage of the special effects production scenes which were fun to watch! I am giving it 10 stars because it performs up to and beyond expectations for this theme/genre. Hope this review is helpful and you enjoy the movie!

A delight in every way, The Invisible Boy is a terrific spin on the superhero movie. Fun acting, clever storyline, with a wink and a nod to various classics (Batman, Superman, the Harry Potter series, among others), Invisible Boy is a great intro to the world of foreign films to young teens on up. The story is also set up for sequels--one can't help but feel this may be up for a US remake--a shame, as the charm and freshness will probably be lost in translation. And do sit through the credits--clever outtakes from the filming are included to answer the question: how did they do that? For fans of Robert Rodriguez's kids movies.

If you are not an italian native speaker and you are deaf you may not notice it, but acting is overall just terrible. I had to zero the audio and put subtitles just to be able to bear it till the end. The story is also pretty banal. If you want to see an italian superhero watch Jeeg.

I can't believe how bad is this acting in this movie. And how silly the plot. Poor Salvatores, you used to be such a good director...
