ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
EdgyIan I came into the movie with very low expectations. The 3.5 rating on IMDB and all other negative stigma revolving around this title left an impression at first. But, let me tell you, DO NOT listen to those people. I came into the movie, and within the first 5 SECONDS I was already gripped into this story that hasn't even begun yet. As I progressed through the movie, I only got more and more baffled by all of the negative reviews and comments people were leaving. EVERYTHING about this movie is perfect. Everything was done with the utmost care and all the characters are deftly woven into deep, relatable characters that you really care about and want to succeed. The music is fully orchestrated and truly epic, a soundtrack to truly fit the eminence of everything else in the movie. The CGI in the movie is done extremely well, with certain camera tricks and acting makes it look real. I must say all the computer engineers did a great job on their part, precise to the smallest polygon or pixel. The story is an absolute roller-coaster, one emotion to the next, each scene more breathtaking than the last. In short, everything about this movie was perfection in every aspect.In conclusion, do not trust the low IQ nonintellectual degenerates that call this movie "trash" or "only kids stuff", this is a movie, like many others, which is only for intellectuals and requires a very high IQ to truly understand the depth of what is playing on your television screen. Go see Sharkboy and Lavagirl now, that is, if you're intellect is high enough.
jusjery Okay now at first when the movie was continuing I thought it was OK but it was kinda boring but when Taylor Luther came to the movie it got worse. The characters : the characters are terrible really we all know that they are terrible of course Taylor Luther was the worst one yet just a terrible actor terrible at everything.The story : BAD just really come on the story takes place in a dream come on seriously at least spy kids 3d had a better story.Acting : no one can act I know that they are stupid kids but it is the same thing watching robots dancing cause they act the same way like lazy town characters and it's weird because it is like a parody of lazy townScript : GARBAGE!!Again every character sounds or look lazy the biggest disappointment is Taylor Luther and Jacob advice these kids can't act they should be banned from acting they are nothing but just idiots I hate them I hope they quit.Robert Rodriguez why just why you and your son were bad sorry but it's the truth.Don't even waste your time because this movie is terrible.
Adrian Val Olonan I love the film's plot summary. Max (Cayden Boyd) realizes that his dreams turn for real, incarnating Sharkboy (Taylor Lautner) and Lavagirl (Taylor Dooley), but also bringing to life some danger to the real world. But the CG is very distracting to watch. It's very obvious.I enjoy the movie. I love their adventures. I love the components of Planet Drool. I love the creativity invested in the villains and challenges. But this is a fantasy movie that suppose to convince you that the fictional world is real. Planet Drool looks like a video game background, and it should like alive.One SFX guy from "Resident Evil: Retribution" said, "The more you can shoot for real, the more salable you're visual effects are going to be." The director and the production crew should have used real props and set pieces.I guess the CG worked against them.
noah This movie was released by the same guy who made Spy Kids and Spy Kids 2. They might have aged a bit throughout the years, but I can still manage to enjoy it. However, instead of seeing this as the director of those 2 classics, I see him as the director of Spy Kids 3 and 4. Why?Because it was filled with obnoxious 3-D, terrible acting, and CG-i that I can only describe as something Foodfight would show in their movie...just without the sexual innuendos and fetishes. But I just can't really hate it. Besides, much of the ideas in the movie was from the director's son Racer. Plus, it was laughably bad. It's just one of those instances where it's just so bad it's good, kinda like The Room or Catwoman. It's still ugly and the 3-D is annoying, but it's a laughable and enjoyable sort of annoying.
