We Can Be Heroes

Matured audiences only watch this cause of Pedro Pascal. Also the supporting cast are some of my favorite, Boyd Holbrook, Christian Slater.. Don't expect more on this, it's a kid movie or they wanna make it parody or something.. The CGI are awfully bad, they could do better though.. Still, I'm laughing all the way.. so enjoy

This movie is trash. It has little to do with the prior film, minus the usage of Sharkboy and Lavagirl (who have, at best, 7-10 minutes of screen time). This fact makes it feel almost like an insult to call it a "sequel to the original".

The plot is predictable, cheesy, cliche, shall I go on? The CGI is subpar to trash. The usage of green screen is done horribly, and set look so fake, that it's hard for me to take it seriously. Hero names are plain and could be thought of by a toddler. And the main adult superhero is legitimately a Hawkeye knock off (down to the look of the actor) but he fights with swords instead of a bow. It feels almost like a mockbuster than a movie that's meant to be taken seriously.

People who are rating this low and really dragging the movie through the mud are a bunch of Grinches. This is a kids movie and a family movie. Is it cheesy? Heck yeah. Is it worthy of eye-rolls? You betcha. This is what makes it fun. I don't know about you, but I needed this right now. What it through the eyes of a child and enjoy the moment.

The movie takes you back to the world of sharkboy and lavagirl but fails to be what we expected it to be. It's a kid movie and they may love it but definitely not for a mature audience. The plot is super predictable and and the CGI is awful. The only good thing about this film is Pedro Pascal.

Robert Rodriguez is know for his distinctive style. Sometimes it's resonates, sometimes it doesn't. This film does a little of both. As usual the ingenuity of Rodriguez is on full display, but I wish he had a bigger budget to showcase that.
