colinjamesmcdermott There are good films, great films and then there are some films that are truly mindbogglingly good that they stand out among the crowd. Griff the invisible is one of those Mindbogglingly good... Oops lower your expectations for a second. I love superheroes, Iron man rocked. I loved what I have seen of the Avengers but hate and loathe what DC are doing to their icons. This movie does to marvel superhero movies what marvel did to the genre in the first place.... It made them real. What Griff has done is taken superheroes and tilted them 90 degrees again. We explore how we see the world differently and how these different people fit in or don't in this world... This movie makes you think differently at the end of it. BTW don't read anything about this movie. It's plot line in ingenious, and best unspoiled. It's not a drama, not a comedy, not an action movie. But a great, awesome story that once watched you will just love and quote for weeks.
iamgracie96 Omg I did not know Kristen Stewart was in this! I saw her for, like, a second. omg just asdfghjkl that one second she was in it made the film soo much better! Love you Kristen!xxxx<3 The film was actually great, overall, but I loved the way that Kristen was integrated into the film! Her acting was so great, like, I didn't know why she didn't get a bigger part! ahahaha. The storyline was funny and dramatic and I loved how he made himself a superhero, haha! I think it would be better if R-Patz was in it too, him and Kristen act so well together. The casting was done excellently and I really wonder how they got Kristen in this film. Aww she's so cute. I gave it 10 stars because of the great casting job! ily forever R-Patz and K-Stew!<3
Saad Khan Griff the Invisible – TRASH IT (C-) Aussie The Griff is one of the stupidest movie ever, it's about a wanna be super hero who lives in illusion and when you think he is indeed the stupidest person on planet, here comes the girl who is even more crazier and lunatic than Griff himself. Our love for Ryan Kwanten Aka. Jason Stackhouse may make us bear this unexplainable movie but it doesn't mean it's good or even mediocre. Ryan Kwanten tried his best to make us believe in his craziness but in the end it seemed like a joke played on audiences. Meave Dermody, well what I can say she is good but her role is so crazy and repulsive that at least I didn't liked it at all. On the whole, it's a forgettable, stupidest movie I have ever seen. Trash it!
Alex Di Sigh... Here we go again.I only recently reviewed "Super", exposing it for what it was: a cheap exploitation. "Griff the Invisible" is just as much so as "Super". Read my review on "Super", all the points I made against it are valid in this case as well. These movies do not have to be about "the darker side" of being a superhero. In case of Griff, he's not even a hero, he's an antihero in the correct sense of a word. Dictionary definition states the following: antihero is a central character of a work of fiction who lacks the traditional heroic virtues.All the usual shenanigans are there in the case of Griff: a very unsympathetic protagonist, a lack of motivation, a lack of a defined antagonist (bad for a superhero movie, "Super" had a good one though) and a very strong female lead.The movie is essentially about an adult that's unable to grow up, living in a fantasy world and a girl that comes to his aid. Very similar to "Defendor", except that particular movie wasn't bad at all (also the protagonist had a mental developmental disability).The movie is also full of pseudo-scientific nonsense to make it seem more intellectual, where's it comes out as silly to anyone with even an elementary knowledge of the discussed (pseudo-)scientific topics. I shall give one example of this. One of the main characters pounders a "theoretical" possibility of one physical object being able to move straight through another, due to the fact that most space between the molecules and atoms that an object is comprised of is empty. That fact is true: we are mostly empty space if we're talking about matter only. But those atoms and molecules also have bonds between them to form an object, unless it is a gas where those bonds are very weak. These bonds keep us together, were they to break we would fall apart. These bonds are energetic in nature, they would be disrupted if another bond were to be introduced in the same space. To penetrate solid matter an object has to reach a superfluid state, a highly homogeneous state of matter, but even then it is not really penetrating anything, but rather seeping through tiny empty cracks, benefiting from a complete lack of friction. It goes without saying that one would never survive such a transformation.Oh, yes, there's also a lot of metaphysical garbage as well and as some of us may know: metaphysics is useless because it can be used to explain everything, since it itself is built out of the unknowable.The only two good things I have to say about Griff are as follows. Maeve Dermody who plays Melody does so very neatly. She brings a lot of life into this barren wasteland of a film. She's also a great actress, I hope to see her in a movie that is actually good. Also the soundtrack is very nice indeed.The ending is interesting, but I had seen it done before, so nothing special there.Nothing else to say about it really. As a struggling superhero sub-genre goes this one is nothing to write home about. I suggest you skip it. Two points to Maeve and a half to the soundtrack, rounding it down, just because I feel like it.
