Antboy

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.

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!

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

I watched this with one of my friends, and we had a great time making fun of it together. Most of the plot makes no sense, and the acting is hilariously atrocious. All of the characters are so awkward together and act like they'd rather be anywhere else. The "climax" was such a letdown it had us in stitches.

If you're looking for a good time, watch it ironically, but don't expect to enjoy it otherwise.

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.

I really liked this Danish Superhero movie ANTBOY, a quirky yet engaging movie that both celebrates and has fun with the conventions of the superhero story as chronicled in both movies and comic books. The overdubbing of this film in English was expertly done. Danish actor, 12 year old Oscar Dietz, plays a character named Pelle Nohrman who gets bitten by an ant and he's a lot like Spiderman. I really felt the tension between Pelle and the flea, who might I say, is the perfect villain. This movie is great for people of all ages and anyone can get a kick out of Pelle when he pees acid for the first time. Danish actress Amalie Kruse Jensen plays Isa!
