A boy, with the superpower to become invisible yet can't find anything better to do than cheat on his math homework, learns that his super soldier parentage has unresolved history.

Nowhere near as good as the first.

Although a boy discovers he can become invisible, he also discovers a secret history (and puberty).

Adorable from so many perspectives. Recommended!

Some idiots go grave robbing to protect a thing, leading bad guys there to steal the thing, then a worse guy shows up, then assholes some fight instead of talk, and there is some dialog throughout and with all the action and dead men, no women are even hurt; equality!

Meh. Big fucking meh with a weak script, acting, story.. everything is just weak.

The gods are real and deposited horrifying trinkets, one of which falls into the hands of a ne'er-do-well who abuses it to the great misfortune of everyone.

God damn Gal Gadot is beautiful. Also there is a movie which isn't half bad.

A veteran mercenary is double-crossed and finds himself blacklisted into becoming a general in hell's army.

This is a very high low-budget movie. It's over-the-top, corny but only almost-fun. Some of the effects are amazing, but some are so damned bad I can't imagine how they thought this could be anything more than a middling success. From a writing perspective, it's not bad moment-to-moment, but the overall plot is a bit stupid.

This has nothing going for it but the incredible acting of a clown.

A father hides his seven year old from a strangely-hostile world.

Extremely well-acted and written; highly recommended light viewing.

Born as the survivor of a bitten-pregnancy, a part-vampire "day walker" continues his crusade amidst one of their ranks' power play for leadership.

A classic movie, before the whole superhero genre got entirely out of hand. It's an unfortunate rewriting of the original comic book, but it does well with what it has. It's blunt and stiff, yet entertaining.

It has only a couple of moments of technology which feel old, otherwise it has held up well.

A boy with a cellphone shot into his head develops cyber-synesthesia and superpowers.

It has a story and acting. While it's perfectly watchable, it doesn't set the scope of the superhero's powers and ends up being a bunch of deus ex machina.
