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.

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.

First off, this film is a turkey. I started hearing gobbling sounds way before thanksgiving. All jokes aside about bad film, one of the first signs of a bogus review is when the reviewer gushes about the director, story, acting without details. Perhaps the first sign of this is an extraordinary high review, usually above 8. The only films that deserve this kind of high score are typically works of art. Does this film meet those criteria? Then after seeing the flood of high reviews, (Usually shortly after its release) Its usually pretty easy to see the signs of manipulated review scores. Of course the directors and staff of such a production are deserving of nothing but scorn.
The story was terrible, the translation clumsy, as well as the acting often seemed to be mismatched to what was the story was about. Truthfully was unable to force myself to watch the entire film, as I started to feel it was a waste of time.

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.

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...

The acting was just awful. I couldn't even bear it till the end, I had to stop watching the movie. The overall story had potential but was definitely developed by incompetent writers.

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!

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

As with many films, translations and dubbed versions are a big problem when seeing them. I had the opportunity to see this film in Italian, first as Amazon in Germany only offers it in Italian and second I speak it fluently.
Bad reviews lament on the bad acting. In the original language there is no bad acting. So it might be that the dubbing ruined some of the experience.
I personally had a lot of fun watching this film. First of all because with Valeria Golino one of my childhood stars was in the film. At the time I saw her for the first time in Rain Man I had no idea she was an italian actor. It was with "Il ragazzo invisibile" that I realised it.
The acting was rather good, considering that it was the first acting job of Ludovico Girardello (the invisible boy) and Noa Zatta (his love interest). Ludovico is likeable as it is possible to connect with his fears and trauma being bullied. Being able to disappear into thin air fits his personality at the beginning of the movie and makes the transition to a stronger self towards the end believable. He has a character-arc which so many teenagers have, just in a shorter time.
The origin of the Specials is an interesting and not more or less credible than any other superhero-take.
Considering the low budget the certainly had, the special effects are good, the scenes are nicely filmed and the low budget is never visible.
Overall a good european production. It's a shame it was only in cinemas in Italy. I would love to see how it would have performed with a dubbed version in Germany. There is a sequel which I am hopefully able to see soon.

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!

Well rarely is a good Italian film found and thank God this film If this film really succeeded this time unlike the other superhero films this is not based on any comic and I also want to warn you that I am Italian and I I tell you that to meI rarely find a good Italian film Because today's films always do the same things i.e. Comedy and drama but this time we have a superhero film parrying the terrible Puma man in 1980 but this time this invisible boys managed to make me much more I'm very pleased thenI liked the type Gabriele Salvatore made. The story is very nice. Ah, I must also warn you that I haven't seen the American dubbing because I've heard a lot of reviews that say the dubbing is horrendous. But if you agree with this just hear the languageoriginal with subtitles So the programs this video Michele He was truly a wonderful programmer then the acting was okay but except for those with the younger actors however the only thing I didn't like at all is when he uses his powers of invisibility i.e. When he entersinside the Women's locker room This is truly a scandalous thing not even perhaps a Japanese manga and anime if any of you have seen this film I advise you to catch up Because sometimes even we Italians can make good films I mean this was a beautiful start from a relaunch of a new Italian genre to conclude with an 8+ rating.

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!
