Andrew Diaz, Hala Finley, Lyon Daniels, Akira Akbar, Andy Walken, Nathan Blair, YaYa Gosselin, Vivien Lyra Blair, Dylan Henry Lau, Lotus Blossom, and Isaiah Russell-Bailey in We Can Be Heroes (2020)
When alien invaders kidnap Earth's superheroes, their kids are whisked away to a government safe house. But whip-smart tween Missy Moreno will stop at nothing to rescue her superhero dad, Marcus Moreno. Missy teams up with the rest of the superkids to escape their mysterious government babysitter, Ms. Granada. If they're going to save their parents, they'll have to work together by using their individual powers -- from elasticity to time control to predicting the future -- and form an out-of-this-world team.

    Don't Read the Bad Reviews

    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.

    Pedro Pascal is the only reasons to watch this

    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

    Garbage superhero movie. Feels like a mockbuster at best.

    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.

    Kids should rate kids films

    This film is intended for kids so this is my 6 year olds take on it: Q. Did you like the movie?

    A. YES! I like it.

    Q. What did you like about it?

    A. I like when they have to fight the aliens because they go an an adventure to save their parents.

    Q. Who was your favourite character?

    A. The girl with no powers because she is really smart.

    Q. How many times have you watched this movie?.

    A. I've watched it alot of times

    Q.its that's good?

    A. YES!

    Q. And what would you rate this movie 1 being the worst and 10 being the best?

    A.i would say 10 because because I like that the super heroes never give up.

    From a parents point of view this is perfect for my child, it shows morals in showing team work and solving problems, the dialogue and storytelling is easy for my child to understand and follow. There's no hidden adult humour which keeps it clean and light hearted. My child enjoys this movie alot its on her list she's watched it over many times.

    Hated it, kids loved 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.

    • Trivia
      Taylor Dooley is the only returning actress from The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D (2005). Robert Rodriguez thought that fans would be offended if he brought back Taylor Lautner only to have Lautner's face covered by a helmet the entire time and give him no spoken lines.
