Super-Charlie

It is also bad for grownups, cringe, make no sense. From the trailer looked funny but it's full of toxic behaviour, and worst thing is that toxicity is from the family.

Parents don't listen, brothers betray each other, everything is on the negative side, children should not see this kinds of movies and I regret I took my 6yo kid to such movie.

Watched it at the opening night at the local cinema, there were high expectations in the air, lobby filled of kids hoping for a really good adventure.

The movie are loosely based on the Super Charlie books, if you have read the books you will be surprised that key elements has changed, this makes it confusing especially for all those kids that have enjoyed the books. I heard several kids asking their parents why certain things happened, that differed a lot from the books

The movie uses a story telling techniques that in several parts flew over the head of the kids in the audience.

The level of chatter in the audience increased a lot during those slow and boring passages.

Rating is based on how my kids reacted, and what they talked about after the movie, they found this movie to be rather boring.

In a time when superhero fatigue is a real thing, with Marvel and DC films constantly in the cinema or on TV screens, here comes a new original story from the books of Camilla Läckberg. Based on the Swedish best-selling author's stories we have the tale of 10-year-old Wille (Pronounced "Willy" and voiced by Alex Kelly in the English version) who has always dreamed of becoming a superhero and fighting crime alongside his police-hero dad... a dream which is shattered when his new baby brother Charlie is born with actual superpowers. When a supervillain and a deranged scientist enact their evil plan, Wille and Charlie need to put their differences aside and work as a team. But can an infant and his envious brother save the city?

As far as children's animations go, this is a lot of fun. There's real truths in the about family life from the parents struggling to keep everything together with kids and jobs to Wille being annoyed that his baby brother has suddenly got all these super powers.

The source of the powers is never really explained beyond the knowledge that a comet-like light appears once every 50 years and grants someone powers. At the beginning of the film we see a young kid get powered up and now it's Charlie's turn, with him going from baby to super baby in no time at all.

There's a lot of fun to be had with the powers and the baby learning how to use them like there is with any film that covers this kind of story. It has all kinda been done before, most notably with Jak-Jak in the Incredibles films, but here it still works well in this world.

There's a proper bad guy who is wanting to get rid of Charlie's powers, there's some great set pieces which are animated really well and deliver a kids film which is up there amongst some of the best I've seen.

I'm still a kid at heart and this really made me smile and hope there's more to come from director Jon Holmberg.

Although the film is marketed as being based on Camilla Läckberg's popular children's books, the similarities are minimal. Critics have noted that the story, tone, and character development diverge significantly from the original source. Instead, the filmmakers have created an entirely new plot with science fiction elements and characters that don't appear in the book series. The film mainly retains the core idea of a baby with superpowers, but takes major creative liberties, making it seem as though the rights were acquired more for brand recognition than for faithful adaptation. The result is a story that could just as easily have been made without any connection to Läckberg's work.

Known on youtube for being a funny movie but it lasted only for 10 seconds and then it was just not fun anymore. I was exicited to watch this movie but it ended up as not needed.

It needs more work on the manuscript and needs a better plot. What is the real identity of the movie? I was waiting for something more of this movie like how the plot in Ice age or Madagaskar was made. Needs more humor for it to be a movie that I would show my kids and familymembers.

Will it be a second movie made?

I hope not since this was a big waste of my time. Not as enterntaining as I was hoping for and it will be my opinion..
