Arthur and the Invisibles

I'm a big fan of Luc Besson's movies. He is a master at crafting unforgettable action films. But I have to be brutally honest when I give you my opinion of this movie and that is to tell you that's its pure crap. I've never seen such a hyper-active heap of hopelessness as this film. There isn't one redeming quality that makes this film watchable.

The voice overs are forced, rushed, poorly written and do not match the demeanor of the characters they are voicing. The editing for the film is like watching an MTV video on fast forward. The transitions between scenes or events are the screen are about as smooth and Seal's face (ouch, that was mean, but it's the first thing that came to mind). Not to mention the story is weak and frail and can barely hold itself up.

I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone, kids included. It is to be avoided at all costs.

Rating: .5 out of 10
