Where's the original work gone?

Although the film is marketed as being based on Camilla Läckberg's popular children's books, the similarities are minimal. Critics have noted that the story, tone, and character development diverge significantly from the original source. Instead, the filmmakers have created an entirely new plot with science fiction elements and characters that don't appear in the book series. The film mainly retains the core idea of a baby with superpowers, but takes major creative liberties, making it seem as though the rights were acquired more for brand recognition than for faithful adaptation. The result is a story that could just as easily have been made without any connection to Läckberg's work.

Sad and confusing, Super Charlie as Marvel nonsense

The movie has nothing in common with the books and audiobooks about Super Charlie. My kid left early, sad and confused, because he didn't recognise the story at all.Movie Charlie has a silly backstory that's different to the books, and a scary criminal nemesis we've never heard of. Then there's the plodding 3 act structure, ripped off every Marvel movie. The film is made for an entirely different age group to the books, probably 10+ is about right. Charlie is caught up in sibling rivalry and betrayal, crime, and some scary violence. There's loads of flashy action and pumping music. It's also way too long for younger audiences with the movement, noise, heavy themes and complex plot. The cinema experience was overwhelming. Kids were leaving the theatre.Somebody saw a franchise opportunity in Super Charlie and they've obviously decided to ditch the younger kids who loved the books. We saw it in Swedish, perhaps it is made to appeal to American kids. But it's a sad move for a beloved character that could have been extended in sympathetic ways. No more Camilla Läckberg products in our house, sorry.

Snooze pill for kids and adults

Watched it at the opening night at the local cinema, there were high expectations in the air, lobby filled of kids hoping for a really good adventure.The movie are loosely based on the Super Charlie books, if you have read the books you will be surprised that key elements has changed, this makes it confusing especially for all those kids that have enjoyed the books. I heard several kids asking their parents why certain things happened, that differed a lot from the booksThe movie uses a story telling techniques that in several parts flew over the head of the kids in the audience.The level of chatter in the audience increased a lot during those slow and boring passages.Rating is based on how my kids reacted, and what they talked about after the movie, they found this movie to be rather boring.
