Antboy

While the acting is horrible, the story is bit dumb and is filled with logical flaws, it indeed has a charm. I'm happy I found this on TV once. The characters are quite interesting, the villain is relatable, the hero is quite unique. The 2nd episode is much better but I'd give this one a 9/10 too.

12-year-old Pelle (Oscar Dietz) is bitten by a malevolent ant (you could see the look on the ant's face at the time of the incident.)

Naturally, he gains superpowers such as sticky fingers. What is he to do?

Aided by a friend, who is enamored of super-powered beings, Antboy gains an identity and a costume (with a cloak.)

He goes through all the psychological problems one an ant-isapate.

Does he learn the value of friends, or will he be the object of biting humor?

Danish actress Amalie Kruse Jensen plays Isa!

Frank Thiel was born on 24 July 1970 in Denmark Plays the Flea!

Just a tad too elementary acting and dialog (even for children.)

This is an excellent movie more attuned for children but cute/watchable for adults as well.. Critics forget what children like. They compare this to Spiderman because they want to see a Spiderman type of superhero movie that entertains adults. When they don't get that, they decide to tear into the movie saying it's a Spiderman ripoff. Sorry, critics, superhero movies, like they use to make them, can be built for children without implied sexuality, bad language, and soaked in darkness. This movie was beautifully shot and didn't need high tech gadgetry to entertain well. It was funny too (e.g. the kid's oblivious loser parents). It's also original (or at least unusual) in having a child portray a superhero.

This film is great in all places but you can sometimes see this was not made by an million dollar studio, I praise the suit a lot but in kinda needs a chin strap but other than that it's a very compelling storyline, the villain is a bit overweight but that didn't bother me at all since he littering drinks bloodblood, the attack on the school is great, very well shot a little campy but great, the CGI is very good at someolaces but can be very bad at the same time including the flea jumping in the air, the final showdown, there are also things that don't make sense like why doesn't antboy fight anyone I this film but otherweis its very good.

It is a nice little movie, but it has nothing to be exceptional.

It may be good for very little children up to 5 years, who do not need, nor appreciate costly special effects.

It is a very basic and generic superhero origin story full of clichés and nothing original.

It could have been something funny like "Kick Ass" or it could have been some kind of deeper drama helping bigger children (5-10) finding their ways or providing tips for their problems... some sensitive, psychological stuff...

Unfortunately none of these were in the movie. It was just a story rewritten by a school boy, who has seen Spiderman, where he exchanged the word "Spiderman" with the word "Antboy".

There was no humor, nor suspension, nor drama, nothing.

The child actors made a decent job and the directing was solid craftsmanship, but that's all.
