Super-Charlie

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..

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.

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.

Despite being about fifty years older than it's demographic, I actually quite enjoyed this. Every century, a meteorite endowed with super-powers flies path the earth, and the only very recently born "Charlie" somehow manages to absorb it's green dust. Nothing is too obvious when he goes home with his writer mother, who is constantly glued to her laptop; his policeman father and his elder brother "Wille". Of course, there is soon a degree of little brother envy as these parents dote on their new arrival, but it is his sibling who discovers that at barely a week old, "Charlie" can talk! That's just the beginning of his quirks, and so soon the pair are on the trail of a gang who have caused their father considerable trouble over the years. All the while, the police are under pressure to buy some specially adapted uniforms that could make them into "Robocop" types, but fairly quickly we learn that the evil "Imperio" is up to a bit of sophisticated manipulation whilst it's moustachioed sidekick cunningly devises a pint-sized chair to essentially percolate the formidable powers of the young babe, so he can make himself an ultra-potent espresso. The story follows a predictable path, but along the way it does make a few salient points about obsessed parents, brotherly rivalry and mistrust whilst also proving that, in the end, family ought to come first. It's not really a film for young kids as some of the dialogue is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but the visual effects are quite good fun and the message it wishes to convey to children and parents alike are adequately wrapped up in a light-hearted, sci-fi, amiability that sees the two lads learn to communicate with each other without the need for a phone, or a tablet, or any form of social media at all. That's got to be a good thing.
