A bad attempt by German filmakers to create a Nickelodeon type kiddie comic book hero
tkaine310 October 2019
4/10 🌠🌠🌠🌠 Good videography and pace with a modern appeal. A pleasant atmosphere on screen and for what it's worth maybe kids under the age of 9 may find some entertainment watching this but the science along with the storyline and scene scenarios make no sense and are honestly atrocious. Whether it's how she develops her powers or the reaction of her parents when they find out or the solution to solve it everything is phony or extra lame. It also didn't help trying to plagiarize Marvels intro at the beginning of flipping through the comic book pictures of heroes in their collection. I do however like the lead actress she seems talented and genuinely adorable along with her co-stars but my 12yo daughter wasn't amused in the slightest so I wouldn't recommend this for any kids around that age.

A bit weird and simple, but it's indeed a film that every mother should watch.
XueHuaBingYu14 October 2019
The Invisible Sue is a film that every mother should watch. It shows what would happen to the kids if mothers don't care about their children. Work is important, but children are also important too. Kids need their parents' love. Parents should give their times for their kids no matter how much they are busy. In this film, Sue's mother didn't give time for her kid, so, Sue wants to be friendly with her mother. But her mother doesn't care about her. She only cares about her work. That results Sue's superpower. According to this film, because of her mother's lack of care, Sue got her invisibility superpower. But what if she didn't superpower and she died instead? That's why I said every mother should watch this film.

As for the film, it's a bit childish. But it's kind of enjoyable. The plot is quite simple, but it's still OK. What I don't like is the main actress's acting. In that scene where Alfred said "in the other words, you're in grave danger, Miss Sue", then in the next scene where Sue has to act like she's afraid, something like that, her acting is really bad. I kind of hate that face of how she shows she's afraid. So, acting is a bit better, it'd be better.

There's one more thing I'd like to mention. It's about the voices of actors. I think this film isn't from Hollywood. It's kind of a foreign film. What I watched is in English speaking. So, they must have dubbed it. That's what I want to point out. The voice artists for English version is very bad. I feel like they are not acting and somehow, I feel like they are just reading texts.

Right now, I don't want to write long review, so, I'm going to conclude it. As for conclusion, although this film is a bit childish, the content is sometimes a bit weird and dialogues are a bit simple, it's still enjoyable. But I kind of want to see something better and something different because I really had some high hope. For now, I can only say it's just a normal film.

Generic and mediocre...
paul_haakonsen13 October 2019
"Invisible Sue" wasn't really all that outstanding, if you sit down to watch it by yourself. But if you sit down as a family, then I believe the movie will have more appeal.

This felt like a pseudo-superhero movie made by one of the numerous children channels, such as Nickelodeon and the like. I mean that in a positive way, mind you. Because the production value was great, they put a great amount of effort into the special effects and the execution of the movie on the screen, just a shame that the movie was one that seemed like it was aimed at a younger audience.

The movie starts out pretty good, and it is nicely paced, but for me it started to become stale and flaccid about an hour into the movie, and I must admit that I was starting to lose interest in the movie about that point.

The special effects in "Invisible Sue" were quite good, and that definitely did a lot for the movie. Now, you will not be blown away and bedazzled by a spectacle of special effects, but it was quite good, taking into consideration the premise of the movie.

The acting in the movie was good, again taking into consideration of the genre of the movie. But you shouldn't be getting your hopes up for a Shakespearian theatrical experience.

Now, this movie is German, but I was unfortunate enough to watch an English dubbed movie, and it was really, really hard not to focus on the lip synch that was totally out of tune with the German pronunciations and the English dubbed language on the speakers. Actually, I think if I had watched it in its original language, than I would actually have given the movie another star on my rating.

My rating for "Invisible Sue" is five out of ten stars.

To avoid

Waste of time, acting and writing is very amateur. Might be watchable for kids only.

Kids must love it
ks-6050015 November 2019
Becoming someone special from others can attach to kids heart. Once you different from other with super power, who doesn't not want it? To kids, must be. Score given as 5 given not too hard to watch for adults. At least won't sleep when watch.

great family type movie
natcalgary10 October 2019
When you write a review and IMDB says there was an error and it is all deleted :(

so frustrating.

I knew it would be a family fantasy going in so I did not expect much. The young crew of actors did a great job and the story line kept me intrigued.

Over all 5.9

loving and exciting
netzfeld17 October 2019
My kids loved it and long for a sequel. Children as spectators are taken seriously and the play of the young leading actors is terrific. For me it was finally a kids movie, in which I did not fall asleep.

Not a good movie, but not THAT bad
siderite13 July 2020
Invisible sue is the story of a young girl who gets accidental superpowers. She already has a brilliant mom, a loving father and more money than she can spend, but she is bullied at school and the only reason she gets her superpowers is that she is a needy crybaby and throws things around in her mother's lab. If her character would have been more sympathetic, this could have been a fun film. If you ask me, the real hero is her friend App, who can do just about everything with science and ingenuity, but what do I know?

Anyway, this is a kids movie, made by Germans. It's in the same time well done and really awkward. Compared to similar American films it features bad dubbing, worse acting and a weird and convoluted script that makes little sense, but it is also a decent effort. I won't recommend it, but it is definitely not as bad as its rating.

Great film. Great Music. Great humor.
amazon-557283 November 2019
Just returned from the cinema. Unexpected good movie. Even if it is a "kids" film it's worth to watch for everyone. Finally a film not boring for the parents who are "forced" to go with the kids. Also remarkable: This movie has from the first to the last second a fascinating film music! And last but not least: The final scenes shows that German REALLY have sense of great HUMOR!!!

Great and unusual superhero movie!
ineskreubel2 November 2019
It's not the usual simple minded superhero stuff but a very intelligent film with nice ironic moments. Girl power + everyday bullying problems meet superpower. Action, humor and great film music. A must see!

Not just for kids
williamcremean4 November 2019
This is a fine , well made movie. I am an adult, adult plus even, and I found "Invisible Sue" entertaining and interesting. throughout the movie. The characters were believable aside from having super powers of course.Technically it was well photographed with an excellent score. Far better than many films produced for younger viewers. Overall I can recommend it for kids as well as adults.

"Rating on the Curvatures" November 04 2019
highlanderinfinity4 November 2019
The B~A~O Kaleidoscope, An arrows flight is how I observe, through this experience called Life. "Invisible Sue" has all the ingredients for a young adult to excel with excellent talent,the production was on the lets give them the best we are as we revolve & evolve. To me it brought honest balance with the early "Walt Disney," movies I was raised with.So this is the lenses I am using, in rating,"Invisible Sue,"on this curvature.for showing the values,of team work,of cliques of the extraordinary,that are the young adults living upon our planet that with their hearts free will chose to step in and make the difference.It is their futures to co~create.And by the co~star,(App) the Song,"Heroes" performed & written by Anna Shirin brings this very well created piece of art for your future comprehension of the movies mission of motivation. I say Namaste.

A kids movie for the entire family. Fight bullying!
annashirin5 November 2019
I watched it with my son. It was the first time I did not fell asleep watching a kids movie. This is really great stuff. Taking into account that it is a "low-budget" production the special effects are amazing. It is exciting from the first to the last minute and full of fine humor I never expected from a German movie :-) Great fun for my son to find the hidden "Easter eggs" the director put into this movie. I would have given 10 stars if there would be a better English translation. Much of the quality got lost because of the strange adult voices of 12 year old kids. I think it would be much better to watch it in German with English subtitles. But anyway it remains a great movie with a very actual topic for every kid and all parents: Fighting against bullying, the importance of having friends and girls power!

Both kid and dad friendly.
I was looking for a movie that would be appropriate for kids under 13 but still enjoyable for action loving dads. It was found in this moving. The action and plot line were so engrossing that some of my family who normally dislike dubbed movie didn't even notice until it was nearly over.
