Super Charlie

I have not read the childrens books that the story is supposed to be based on, so took the movie "as is".

As an adult I thought the movie to be pretty okay. I've seen better ones, but those probably also had a production cost that was significantly higher.

Somewhat annoying is the parent's continuous ignoring of what kids wanted to say, but that's a common part in the storyline of movies that have kids as heroes.

However, it's marketed as a family-movie and has no age-limit in the PG-rating. The movie contains some intense and frightening scenery though, especially when the opposing superpowers were in play, that made my five-year cry out loud, look away and want to go home.

In my opinion a PG-7 would be more appropriate and my rating is based on that.

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.

The movie has nothing in common with the books and audiobooks about Super Charlie. My kid left early, sad and confused, because he didn't recognise the story at all.

Movie Charlie has a silly backstory that's different to the books, and a scary criminal nemesis we've never heard of. Then there's the plodding 3 act structure, ripped off every Marvel movie. The film is made for an entirely different age group to the books, probably 10+ is about right. Charlie is caught up in sibling rivalry and betrayal, crime, and some scary violence. There's loads of flashy action and pumping music. It's also way too long for younger audiences with the movement, noise, heavy themes and complex plot. The cinema experience was overwhelming. Kids were leaving the theatre.

Somebody saw a franchise opportunity in Super Charlie and they've obviously decided to ditch the younger kids who loved the books. We saw it in Swedish, perhaps it is made to appeal to American kids. But it's a sad move for a beloved character that could have been extended in sympathetic ways. No more Camilla Läckberg products in our house, sorry.

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.

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..
