Griff the Invisible

It all feels a bit forced and self-aware , and also falls into the trap of the all-too easy 'life is better as a dream' ending. But entertaining enough for the most part.

Top badass moment? Finding out I’m not the only one who fantasises about being a superhero. Oh wait, this was just people acting… I actually though this was going to be about a guy called Griff trying to get served at a busy bar. In fact it’s a romcom that blokes can legitimately watch by pretending it’s about superheroes rather than a soppy, girly romance, which it kind of is. I really liked it anyway. One hungry cat, no chainsaws or decapitations.

Apparently this has a good third act. I don't feel like watching an hour of quirky underwhelming nonsense to get there.

Just the right mix of quirky and awkward, with some interesting psychosis on display.

Better than any superhero movie I can think of

Essentially, the Australian version of 'Super' or 'Defendor'....not as good as those two, but harmless and quirky. Ultimately, enjoyable as long as you don't expect too much.

Maybe I'm just getting tired of these offbeat superhero titles, but this fell fairly flat for me. It ends well, but it's a bit of a rough trip getting there.

You get these types of movies that try to be quirky and fail, but I didn't ever feel like this was forced. It is very offbeat, in a really good way. I thought the central romance was done well and was really cute. Maeve Dermody is adorable, and Ryan does a good job too. Sure, the meaning can be a little odd... like it's well meaning cuz I think too many people criticize people for being "weird" just cuz they're different. But don't pretend to fight crime, that's actually dangerous to yourself.

I found the first 45-50 minutes of this film torturous. It was trying to be cute and quirky but was simply idiotic and irritating. I felt no sympathy for the main character throughout this section. However the final third of the film redeems the beginning in hindsight. The message of the film still seems slightly ridiculous though.
