Antboy disrespects a lonely girl and she becomes the Red Fury to get revenge.
Garbage
This is not a real review, it should be taken more as a collection of impressions on the film.
Super hero films for children, too much for children, so much for children that I don't think even children would like them. The plot is ridiculous and full of inconsistencies and huge plot holes made only to rush out of some scenes that clearly would have led to nothing. Then I know that the actors are just children and one shouldn't be bad but the acting is really painful, it seems like the actors don't put the slightest effort into anything they do and this shows in practically all the scenes. Then the ending is terrible because it could also make sense but it is so hasty that it loses even the slightest semblance of sense that it could have.

Face-off: The Antboy, Beetleboys and the Red Fury.
It's been a year and half since the first part I saw, so I don't remember much. But I know it was short and sweet little superhero movie for children, like this one. A theme like this might end as a trilogy, but I never thought they would make a sequel after the average first film. Still, there is not much different between the two, especially when it comes to the stunts, very light. The story was a decent one, would have made an impact with the stunning action sequences. But keeping the little children in mind, the film falls soft and family friendly.
In this movie, the narration picks-up not too far from where it ended in the previous film. The Antboy is quite famous now, especially among the school kids. So that is where the story develops when he fails to keep the promise he made to one of his fans. The humiliated fan wants to take a revenge. Instead, it complicates further when a couple more supervillains emerge and challenges the town's favourite superhero, the Antboy. Bringing an end to all of this leads to one last battle before the credits roll.
"A real hero is the one that allows all of us on the outside to feel that we're not alone."
In the previous film, most of them were fresh faced and their performances have been only a just acceptable. Especially the Antboy's that I was worried about. I know the story demands geeky kid just like Spiderman and Superman when they were not in the superhero costume to keep the low profile. But now I see well progressed and a very professional lead boy. From the opening title and credits to till the end the visuals were high standards. Sometimes I thought the presentation was imitating the Marvels, mostly the 'Kick-Ass' with those comic pictures.
The Red Fury was introduced in a style, the new superpower character. Along the terror tvilling, whose superpower was inherited by the beetles. Totally a bug's world, the clash of the insects should we say. Listen this film (series) is just for fun, I believe any grownups won't take it a very seriously. If you are not interested, simply skip it, but I advise you to show the film to your little ones. The characters might be based on the Danish children's book, but somewhat looks like a mixed spoof of some of the great Hollywood flicks. Only a slightly betters the first film from the technical side, yet a very simple silly follow-up.
6½/10

Has an unexplainable charm...
It's one of the most painful and awkward superhero movie I've ever found. What can I say? It's poorly written, has dumb illogical things, the acting is a bit better than in the first move. But for some weird reason I've had more fun watching this than any other movie ever. 10/10 A move I'll be watching over and over again.
