Superheroicos

My children liked the movie very much and that's all it matters. Everyone with a bad review needs to relax and let kids enjoy a feel-good movie catered for them.

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.

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.

This movie was ADORABLE! brings me back to Sky High and Spy Kids and Shark Boy and Lava Girl and Galaxy Quest all in one! So much fun to watch with my daughter! For the adults saying bad acting, predictable...you suck. Enjoy the journey, it's worth it!

I personally hated it, it was a mess and pretty terrible in general.

But

My kids 3, 9 and 11 have watched it 4 times now, i never really understood how adults can rate a show designed for kids. Clearly its worked for the target audience.
