Luc Besson writes and directs this part-animated, part-live action sequel to the adventure film Arthur and the Invisibles. When Arthur (Freddie Highmore) goes to stay at his grandparents' house for the holidays, he is befriended by a tribe of elfin-like miniature beings known as the Minimoys. When Arthur receives a distress call from the Minimoys, he embarks on a perilous mission to rescue their princess Selenia (voiced by Selena Gomez) and her brother Betameche (Jimmy Fallon) from the clutches of villainous wizard Maltazard in the forbidden city of Necropolis.

English This is definitely the weakest part of the Invisibles trilogy, it works more as a bridge between the first and the third part than as a standalone film, and it is especially a fertile ground for the conclusion of the trilogy, so it is important to watch the third part right away to achieve some effect. Some of the ideas were nice, but it often slipped into the dull and sometimes slightly embarrassing. In short, a film that was made solely to set the mood for the final part. ()

English It's utterly terrible in that Hallmark kind of way, but I somehow take it as a cheap alternative to those giant Pixar/DreamWorks productions, compared to which it's not as capable of masking what a terrible load of tripe it is. If David Bowie did the voice of Maltazard in the first one and Lou Reed in the second, I expect he could be dubbed in the third one by, say, Lešek Semelka. ()

English For the second part, at least the main actors were able to be cast, without whom it would not be possible. Freddie Highmore returned, his grandmother Mia Farrow, and as for the animated ones, they all returned, only with different voices. Selena Gomez got the voice of Selenia, which is closer to her character and name, plus she is the same age as Freddie Highmore. Maltazard got the voice of Lou Reed, which is also not bad, and vocally, half of Black Eyed Peas - Will.i.am and Fergie - are also featured in the film. Why am I talking so much about interesting voices? Because I literally can't stand this film. I was expecting how the quite interesting story would continue, but instead of any continuation, I got a stretched mess where nothing happens at all. The whole thing is based on the fact that Maltazard wants to get into the human world, which he eventually succeeds in, and that's where it ends, and the viewer has to wait for the last part. It's a shame, if it had been made only as a duology, maybe it would have turned out better and it wouldn't have been such an empty mishmash. I'm really sorry because of these actors, and also because of the world that looked really cool, but "Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard" is absolutely about nothing. And what is supposed to be that revenge anyway? More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2012/06/past-na-zraloka-21-jump-street.html ()
