Il ragazzo invisibile

This is what i call sensational, and fascinating stuff, and how its manufactured are just brilliant, the invisible boy is a must see for everyone that seeks mystery with a childs mind and walking the thin red line of great comedy.

the grumpy old man recommends this as one of the nicest ''gemini''like flicks ever made

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.

The Invisible Boy as it's known in English is a Italian movie about a boy who can turn invisible among other powers. Powers he inherited from his parents who got them from a nuclear accident. The storyline is actually pretty decent as it follows Michele who is unaware of his abilities and is living his life like a normal boy. However with the onset of his abilities and the sinister "Division" after him things are about to change.

The casting is actually perfect I'd say even though they're all Italian actors and actresses and unknown to me. Ludovico Girardello plays Michele, The Invisible Boy and does a really great job at it for his age. Noa Zatta plays Stella, The girl that Michele likes. She is very beautiful which certainly doesn't hurt and does a wonderful job as well at bringing her character to life on screen. Assil Kandil Plays Candela, the daughter of the maid/helper and Michele's friend, she is just the most adorable and is a lovely supporting character. The rest of the cast like Michele's mum etc are all good to.

The VFX and SFX is where the movie shows it's limited budget. The special effects are not exactly spectacular or amazing but to be fair they are still decent for the budget the movie had and they don't take away from the film.

Overall a 8/10 from me, Interesting story, lovely cast and good VFX and SFX. Also wished that there was a continuation and turns out there is a sequel so will be watching that next!

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...

An entertaining movie about a superhero origin: Michele is an ordinary boy but one day during a party with his classmate discover the ability to become invisible. From there he finds that there are enemys in the shadow ready to capture him but also discover new friends and allies. Fun, well written and directed, it's a little enjoyable movie!
