Arthur and the Invisibles - A Crack House Nightmare

AI Summary

The Dumbsville reviewer delivers a chaotic and highly critical analysis of the 2006 fantasy family movie "Arthur and the Invisibles," originally titled "Arthur and the Minimoys." The reviewer highlights the film's confusing production history, including its editing and title change by The Weinstein Company, and its origin as a book series written and adapted by director Luc Besson. The review emphasizes the movie's "breakneck pace" and "incoherent mess" of a plot, which the reviewer describes as a "total drug trip" that causes a "mental breakdown." Key plot points are recounted with a comedic and exasperated tone, including Arthur's quest to save his grandma's house, his journey to the world of the Minimoys, and the introduction of characters like Princess Selenia and a surprising appearance by Snoop Dogg. The reviewer expresses discomfort with the significant age gap between the 10-year-old Arthur and the 1,000-year-old Princess Selenia, calling it "gross." Despite David Bowie's "genuinely good" performance as the villain Lord Maltazard, the reviewer notes that it is ruined by the film's editing. The reviewer concludes that the film's "god-awful pacing" and "awful world-building" make it an unwatchable and derivative "crack house movie," ending on a cliffhanger that the reviewer advises against pursuing.
