We Can Be Heroes

The prequel to this movie, Sharkboy and Lavagirl, wasn't a good watch. It's poorly made with bad effects, a bad plot, and even worse actors. Somehow this film manages to be even worse. It's like they tried to make a superhero version of Spy Kids but with a much worse script and a lot less money. The effects are downright terrible for being made in 2020 and the plot doesn't make sense AT ALL. The children they cast are passable as far as child actors go, but the adults did underperform. I would think this was to the fault of the script and director. Sad to see Pedro Pascal in this film, but he has a tendency to pop-up in some bad movies so I can't say I'm totally surprised. I do understand that this is a children's movie, but when I watched it with my 7-year-old niece and 8-year-old nephew even they were bored.

The Spy Kids franchise isn't that great but if you're looking for something similar to this, just a bit better, check those movies out instead.
