You gotta love a movie that calls itself "Antboy." Unless, alas, you also have to sit through this Danish, dubbed-in-English kiddie movie. Go to Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media 12/09/2014

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. Go to Full Review Witney Seibold Nerdist 04/17/2014

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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

alan G. @agenser Oct 24 Blatant rip off of marvel films. Stupid plot weak acting. See more Kelly M Aug 22 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 See more Just a dot 02/02/2025 Ant boy has moved me like no other movie has before. from the stunning visuals. to the amazing acting. any boys message of "The world will always need ant boy" are words i live by. I cant recomend this movie to anyone because their souls will be clensed from the sheer antmazingness of this movie. i pray that one day we can all join the ant colony! ANT ON!!!!! See more William B 10/11/2024 The best superhero comedy ever See more Lee S 03/03/2024 Yeah, it puts superhero movies where they should be, toungue in cheek humour, funny costumes, over the top storylines and completely belonging to the child audience. In this sense it kinda goes back to the Adam West style Batman series with the comic book "pows" and "whaps!" the cute cheesy hero and villain "till we meet again" dialogue moving away from the overproduced, churned out, dark and grim modern super hero films we're meant to take seriously, where backstories have been rewritten and rewritten completely failing to shake off the ridiculousness of the super hero genre. The worst example of this is "Joker". A film so far removed from the colourful comic book style it could be a film of people working in a factory for all it matters. For these reasons I found it much more watchable than Spider-Man 20, or Batman 32 which are not only ridiculous, they're also devoid of fun and completely dull. That's my opinion anyway.
