Loved the first one but I think this is somewhat weaker movie. Great Computer graphics Image, very nice directing, loved the looks of the movie, very pleasant to the eyes but the story isn't as appealing as the first one. Maybe that is a problem common to all trilogies, being the second one the least appealing of all. I have seen the first in French version, this one I watched in English, loved both versions but I think the English one is slightly better because as the actors are speaking in their natural language things seem more natural when in real life scenes It is a very nice movie to show to our kids and can be used as a nice entry level movie for European Cinema, for preteen kids. It keeps that good French tradition of great care with image and details. all looks so wonderful! Still it is good fun and in the end it seems to open the door for an absolutely fantastic 3rd one! Hope my expectations come true.

Arthur and the Invisibles had a lot of problems but also had a fair share of good points, that made it an at least watchable if mediocre film. Arthur and the Great Adventure was a rather messy sequel that made the same mistakes as its predecessor and made even more on its way. It does have some good things too. The backgrounds have some great detail and it is colourful to look at, so most of the animation is good. The soundtrack is bouncy and has an adventurous feel to it. Freddie Highmore is still likable in the title role while Mia Farrow is as kindly and compassionate as in the first film and Selena Gomez is an improvement over Madonna, actually sounding like a young princess and closer to Highmore's age rather than somebody trying to sound younger. The story is very thinly plotted though and reads a lot like filler, not helped also by very hyperactive pacing and an abrupt conclusion, which felt more like the start of a film than the end. Arthur's adventure and search is tiresome and takes too long to get going, and there is too much of the father character, an important character but not that important. The live action scenes are still awkwardly staged and don't mesh particularly well with the animated sequences, while the dialogue lacks freshness or flow with some ill-judged and timed comic relief. Maltarzard, one of the first film's stronger characters, is a very weak villain this time round, here a character that is under-utilised and underwritten. Jimmy Fallon is even more irritating here now the material is weaker, Snoop Dogg fares better but also struggles. Will.i.am is out of place, but the worst case was Lou Reed, who sounds really bored and monotone. No attempt whatsoever is made to make Maltarzard sound like he did in Arthur and the Invisibles, and his character design here might leave youngsters who saw this film without seeing the first traumatised. In conclusion, not a truly terrible film but really not that great or good either. 4/10 Bethany Cox

While the original film wasn't exactly a masterpiece either, this one digs lower. And I can't say it's an improvement. The music is corny. The titular villain only appears pretty late in the film. The characters are sideshows, most of them. I really can't say I liked very much about this film at all. Then again, perhaps it IS a plague when considering they decided to make a book into a 90-minute film, but I don't know. This whole film, to me, felt like an unnecessary sideshow, and the ending doesn't help it at all. Maybe a rental when it's available, but otherwise don't bother. This was a bigger disappointment than Terminator: Salvation even if watched with lower expectations.

Of all the movies I have seen, and that is quite a few since I am a projectionist at a cinema, this must be one of the most pointless movies ever made. It is just the fist half of a story that is finished in the sequel movie, Arthur 3, but it could easily have been cut down to around 10 minutes and included in the next movie instead. There are so many pointless scenes and so little actually contributing to the story. At least it is only pointless and not outright agonisingly bad, which saves it from getting a 1* rating. I would recommend skipping this one and just watch the recap that the next movie starts with instead.

Really enjoyed the first one(the french dubbed one, with all the scenes intact) and enjoyed the second one as well. Fun movie, funny humor(it's not tenacious d funny, I mean come on It's a still a kids movie). Watch in french with English subbs, sounds better and makes a whole lot of sense cause the animated segments are made by french people(They recorded it in the suits, with all their gestures and stuff, and were originally made in french, and you can notice this(in all of the movies) cause they speak really fast, and if you watched french movies ever in your life, you'd know they have a fast tempo. Fun, enjoyable and easy to watch movie, i recommend it to kids as well as older people Enjoy :)

I took my daughters to the cinema and was very disappointed with this disgusting movie. I t was a waste of time and money. I don't advise anyone to waste his time and money to go and watch such movie. There is no story for the movie the mix of the animation and real people was not good. the characters they used in the animation are very ugly. Very cheap movie. All events are not connected, my kids fear the movie and did not enjoy it. For future work please consider that who are watching the movie are humans, the production is very cheap I bit the cost of production was too low. This movie is not suitable nor for kids neither for adults.

A sequel that falls under the part 1 curse of movies. Never do a part one and 2 without having a natural breakoff point, it will always leave people disappointed and this movie definitely falls under that. It is a movie where a lot of things happened but a lot of things are told to us happened. It is a rather eventful movie with only things happening for the movies sake.

Arthur has to return to the minimoys but is prohibited by his parents. But after receiving a distress message from the minimoys, Arthur hurries to help them.

The animation took a step down here. It doesn't look as good as the first movie on a lot of levels. While the world is still fun and exciting it just doesn't look as great and is never brought attention to. Where did all these new Minimoys come from? Not sure but there is a lot of them now. While characters that had a character model from the previous movie looks fine. New elements, like for example the rats look terrible.

This movie has a weird frication with the parents and grown up characters, no doubt the most uninteresting and less impact of the plot part of the movie. This is not exiting or interesting like the fantasy animated world you have created, use that instead of these characters. The parents are also unregenerable from the previous movie, being more caring and less problematic than the first film.

This movie has a lot of events but not actually a lot of plot. The movie has a lot of people sitting down explaining something that happened instead of us actually experience it naturally. It could easily have been a more streamlined plot instead of people talking about what happened. It has a pretty bad "and then" plot like a kid making up a story instead of an actual plot.

The twist of this movie is spoiled in its title by the way. It leads to a terribly explained ending that ends the movie in the worst way possible, leaving us on the most interesting note and a very inorganic way. It is the part 1 problem that I hate, when you split your movie in the most inorganic way, it really hurts the movie you are making since it is only for the money and nothing else.

The voice acting is not the best here, a lot of the voices has been taken over by the American cast and they did not works as well as the European cast. Freddie Highmore still does a fine enough performance, but Betameche and Selenia is just not as good as the original voice cast. The characters here also has some surprise attitude problems, everyone seems so much more annoyed and full of attitude than the original. A character like Betameche is nearly unrecognizable from his original portrayal.

What you are left with is a poorly made movie on a lot of ways. Downgrade on cast, a very eventless movie with a twist that is in the title and a just poorly executed part 1 movie.

I am not sure at all if I understand what the crew were thinking and trying to do when they were creating this film. This film was confusing and disappointing and did not make any sense at all. The storyline of this film was poor and weak and did not have any real direction at all. The cast selection was alright enough but could have been a lot better and stronger. They did not at all commit nor connect to the storyline nor to their respective characters. There was not any sign of real chemistry throughout this film between the cast members. The crew should never have created this poor and weak film.

A very well animation with perfect designed characters. I watched it tens of time when I was a Child.

I saw this at cinemas as a kid, and was disappointed to realize that it is only part 1 out of 2. I must say it is good though now looking back to it and knowing this fact. I feel like the parents got more of a personality and you actually like them now. They also like the kid more for a change. I think they blended reality with fantasy in a perfect way, there was was harmony which made you relax and actually enjoy it. Ofc if you nitpicking it you can always find something, but if you are only wanting to enjoy the ride with your kids, it is welldone. Many new aspects and fun additions to the world. Compared to the first movie I would say it held up great. But be prepared they will want to see the next part because the story did not get far and to actually get the full storyline you need to see both parts.

This is a 2 part movie. The first part was released in Dec of 09 and the second part was released in Feb 2010. If you don't like the ending watch the second part which unlike Harry Potter took only 3 months to be released. Also just so you know there are maybe 3 scenes uptight parents will not like. There are hundreds of scenes in Shrek I would not let my child see. Movie was great and WOW entertaining if you watch both parts of the movie as a whole. Cannot believe this movie was made in France did you see the A star list of cast in the Original. Madonna, Robert Dinero, Mia Farrow, Snoop Dogg, Jimmy Fallon and Freddie Highmore is amazing. This film neither looks or feels the part of any B movie or any Indie Film. The effects for the budget were Awesome. I cannot believe it's getting such horrible reviews. Some of you need to re-watch the crap Disney and Pixar are putting out and the subliminal messages they pursue. Anyways I hope this review at least makes you look at it. Watch the first movie if you haven't seen it then watch the second and third sequentially or else you will be mad at the seconds ending.

For those that are used to Luc Bessons work this will not be a disappointment. I can only say that the other reviewers of this film have gone into it with their expectations way to high or I was watching a completely different film to them. This is not Disney or Pixar and if you don't go into this expecting that then you it will not disappoint you. Other reviewers completely missed the point that the adult actors are supposed to behave like cartoon villain's.

The animation and creativity is top notch and the story feels half finished only because it is meant to be watched as part of a trilogy. Do yourself a favor and ignore the negative reviews. Give this film a shot but watch it as part of the trilogy as intended and you will be very pleasantly entertained. I will agree that this is a kids film for adults and I would recommend it for ages 8/9 and up.

All in all a thoroughly entertaining production.
