You gotta love a movie that calls itself "Antboy." Unless, alas, you also have to sit through this Danish, dubbed-in-English kiddie movie.

Hardly a great children's movie, but the young actors are a pleasant enough bunch that at least you don't feel like squashing it.

Antboy is a Danish superhero film, dubbed in English, that plays like a limp, low-budget retread of Spider-Man on its surface, but has a slight off-kilter edge within some of the details, leaving one a little pleasantly baffled.

Great because it is about this normal boy called Pelle and he thinks that no one notices him until he gets bitten by a Ant but it was no ordinary Ant he get bitten by a Ant that gives him superpowers and this nerd called Wilhelm is interested in superhero’s and wants to help Pelle figure out his superpowers but there is trouble because this is this evil man called the Flea but his real name is Albert and he wants to get rid of AntBoy so Pelle has to defeat the Flea before it’s too late the Flea gets his powers by drinking blood great movie 7/10 and there is this girl called Ida

I'm more entertained by the whining mob of full grown man-children. They seem to be having a hard time with the fact that this is dubbed and adapted for the US. As far as the movie goes, it's cute. I appreciated seeing the Space Ghost costume cameo. It's a kids movie. It's quirky, predictable and mostly wholesome. Light up, buttercups. While this isn't MCU level material, it's still decent enough to watch. Grab the kids, some popcorn or veggie crisps and spend some time with the kiddos.
