Arthur And The Invisibles Details

Fantastic

OK I have to agree here, it is a wonderful film. I haven't seen the press for it but they should be falling over themselves in praise.

The CGI is amazing and ties into live action really well, the plot builds up nicely (and my kids were glued through the whole thing as well).

Lots of laughs through out, slapstick for the kids (the very tall king who really is ..... well go and see it) and references for the grownups (spot the pulp fiction ones!). The real love interest between the two leads is beautifully portrayed and really poignant at the end.

A must see for all the family.

A sad end to an interesting career

Director Luc Besson, who used to be a reliably interesting talent, has said that this would probably be his last film behind the camera. If so, it proves a very disappointing tale, a kind of CGI version of 'Honey, I shrunk the kids', with plucky Freddie Highmore being shrunk to the size of a pea so that he can save his granny's house from being taken over - and, not incidentally, make eyes at Madonna. The tale is anorexically lightweight, the animation is nothing special (except, oddly enough, for the close-ups, which reveal a level of detail not found elsewhere), and the acting and voice work is of a pantomime kind. I'm convinced kids will enjoy it - it's loud and colourful - but the plot is messy and very contrived, and it's simply not up to Besson's old standards.
