You know this is going to be a bad movie when one of the plot keywords is 'Urination'. The only reason this isn't 1 star is that the comic book opening titles are drawn well, and this is slightly enjoyable ironically. More clichés than every other movie combined. "I want to be noticed." "I want to be less ordinary." "No one knows I exist." Horrible English dubbing. It's probably more enjoyable and understandable in Danish. This is worse than Good Burger.

I found this movie on Netflix streaming movies. Ever since I was a small boy I have enjoyed the escapism that superhero stories provide. This one is in Danish but was dubbed very well into English.Oscar Dietz is Pelle Nøhrmann, and much like Peter Parker in 'Spiderman' is small and meek and mostly overlooked by his classmates. One day he is running home from the two bully brothers when he ducks through some bushes to hide. While there he gets bit by a large ant and, much like the spider this ant has been genetically altered. Pelle falls asleep in the yard and when he finally heads home just wants to go to bed. The ant's powers have begun to alter his body and the next day finds he has super strength for his size, like an ant does, and his fuel is sugar. Along with his good friend they think up a name and come up with Antboy when he is in costume.So this movie, relatively short at just over one hour, mostly establishes Antboy and how he got his powers. In this story he has to fight the Fleaman who had kidnapped a classmate of Pelle's and eventually get him arrested and sent to jail.While I enjoyed this movie enough it is probably best for children. I plan to also see the next one, "Revenge of the Red Fury." And I see Antboy III is in post-production.

I've just seen Antboy and as expected, doesn't bring anything new to the super-heroic genre. It doesn't even bring anything new to the whole movie-about-child genre. But there's where the really interesting part is. All in all i feel like Antboy is a love letter to the superheroes stories most of us grew up with. It has almost every cliché from every single superhero movie you can remember without googling, and that's the reason that makes it so fun to watch. It might not be the best acting performance you'll ever see, but the kids are cool and the script is quite consistent all around. The tone is set properly and after seeing the trailer for the upcoming sequel i confirm what i said above. It's a fun, entertaining movie that doesn't bring any surprises but doesn't fall apart either (did anybody say Crap-tastic Four?). I would totally recommend it to someone who really loves superhero comics/movies. The rest might (and will) find it dull.In a few words: Antboy is to the superhero genre what Fanboys is to Star Wars.

Antboy is based on a popular Danish comic book series and although I have never read the comic series, I think this movie is pretty cool. It is funny and has a small amount of action. It is really good and I think other kids would enjoy it too. This movie is about a boy named Pelle who is bitten by a rare and genetically altered ant. This ant gives Pelle superpowers. Eventually, Pelle realizes these super powers only work when he eats sugar. He finds out his real powers when he runs into a boy named Wilhelm, who later becomes his friend and helps him discover what super powers he has. Pelle decides that his super hero name is going to be Antboy. When a super villain named "The Flea" captures a girl and invades the school, Antboy has to figure out how to stop him. The main characters in the movie are Pelle, Wilhelm, Ida and the Flea. My favorite character in this movie is Wilhelm because he is a really nice guy and he is the reason Pelle decides to help people and become Antboy. He also loves comics and, while I wouldn't say I love comics, I do like them. My favorite part in the movie is when Pelle figures out his super powers. He can bite through hard things. He can climb walls. He is really strong and his pee is acid. Sadly, his super hero powers only work when he has eaten sugar. Sometimes he doesn't realize he has eaten any sugar at all. Sometimes he sleepwalks and eats all the candy in the house. I recommend this movie for ages 5 to 10 because it is really good with a lot of weird and quirky action. It is more of a movie for younger kids since teens and adults usually prefer films with more action. Reviewed by Anthony A, KIDS FIRST! Film Critic.
