I LOVED this as a kid, and whenever it came on Disney Channel, I had to watch it. I found it at a garage sale for only 50 cents and bought it. I was BORED half the time! I kept naming movies in my head that I would RATHER be watching! I just don't care for it anymore. If you are a kid, definitely see this, and have fun, For everyone else, don't bother. Stallone as the villain is the main thing that kept me going until the end. I have read complaints on the 3D. I have never watched that version and I also don't need to since I have a lazy eye and can't see 3D. In short-kids, see it. Preteens and up-skip it.

Spy Kids 3D gave an in depth and alternative view of the proletariat role in western society. This social commentary dissected the roles that we as a modern and civilized global society view as innate, despite the lack of assessment of any possible predispositions that we may have for all stereotypes, whether they be accurate or simply founded upon the falsities that we believe to be true based on nothing but our upbringing and the generalized conceptions of those immediately surrounding us in our cultivated yet shallow socioeconomic ecosystem. Juni, most specifically, characterizes the easily impressionable tabula-rasa-esque youth of the millenial generation. His apparent attraction to a woman discovered to be a mere image of technology symbolizes the youth's dependency on modular communication. So basically he like pulls hoes.

Continuing my plan to watch every Sly Stallone movie in his filmography in order, I come to another supporting role. 2003's Spy Kids 3: Game Over or Spy Kids 3-D: Game OverPlot in A Paragraph: The Spy Kids are back!! Carmen (Alexa Vega) is caught in a virtual reality game designed by the Kids' new nemesis, the Toymaker (Stallone). It's up to Juni (Daryl Sabara) to save his sister, and the world.I'll admit from the off that I enjoyed the first two movies, and I love both Vega and Sabara, I find them to be a joy to watch. I know the plot calls for her not to be seen much but Alexa Vega is woefully under used. Which is a shame as she was excellent in both the previous movies. The parents Antonio Banderas and Carla Guigino are both reduced to cameos which is also a shame. This leaves Sabara to mainly carry the movie on his own, he tries hard, a little too hard as his charm from the excellent first movie, and less excellent but still highly enjoyable sequel is missing. Sly is clearly enjoying himself, playing an over the top (Yes pub intended) villain and is clearly having a lot of fun. Ricardo Montalban brings grace and dignity to everything he does. Danny Trejo and Cheech Martin aren't given as much to do this time around. Nor is Holland Taylor, which is s shame!! George Clooney, Steve Buescemi, Bill Paxton, Alan Cumming and Emily Osment all return amongst others. Side note: Selina Gomez has her first role as "Waterpark Girl" Highly recommended for kids of all ages.

I've seen films i particularly didn't enjoy, I've seen the room, I've seen clips of tommy wiseau and finally i just watched the first 30 minutes of spy kids 3.This film is the first film i have EVER seen that i have actively disliked. This film made me ashamed that when i was younger i enjoyed spy kids 1, 2, shark boy and lava girl and in the past few months spy kids 4. but the third spy kids film made me question my younger self being so bad i stopped watching 30 minutes or so in through heart ache and an urge to rant about it to sound like a critic :)To start off its the characters. I loved the charisma and family Morales the films based itself on, keeping to family and how Juni the immature weakling is taught to be strong by his older sister Karmen is just awesome, the bad guy constantly throwing hilarious tricks at them was funny but in this film everything was turned around. Karmen is trapped and needs Juni, (spoiler heavy if anyone still wants to watch by the end of the review) so he enters the game, being his usual self he is near being handicapped and gets his arse handed to him at level 1 by these high level players who are later shown to be beta testers. These characters are boring and without his sister Juni loses his charm and i hate him. Next the female is introduced, i admit now i'm older i probably won't see her as attractive and i don't mind BUT AT LEAST MAKE HER CUTE Jesus SHE WAS LIKE I Don't EVEN KNOW!!! next is another family member, a grandpa who for what i know is never seen before is stuck in a wheelchair. I think great, this guy could be like Xavier from X-Men and be an awesome psychic genius, nope thirty seconds later he is in a mech suit with legs... finally the protagonist, He is basically a programmer locked somewhere in the game and does nothing except talk to himself (to where I've seen)Next the story. Juni must get to level 4, find his sister then win the un winnable level to escape, wanna know how he can do this? BECAUSE HIS THE CHOSEN ONE! what the actual.. i mean if he had a plan or something that would be great but he is a noob to this game and just "learns fast" that's my next point. There are 2 engagements to where i saw. To start there is a mech battle round 1 Juni just gets stomped and dominated then round 2 "suddenly i know how to do every trick, make new tricks and win" and then round 3 "This round is going to last just long enough for me to do 1 move then finish because the first 2 minute round 2nd 1 minute round and a 30 second round make sense. the next battle is a race which fits more into my next point.Animation, spy kids and SB+LG are known for their animation and 3d effects being great. I was watching in 2D but i could see that this was going to carry the movie, every time they could they would shove a boxing glove gag, debris, tunnels and more into your face to say "HEY LOOK GUYS! 3D EFFECTS! ITZ Like 2007 AGAIN WHERE IT WAS NEW AND WE WANT TO SHOW OFF!" this annoyed me because they could of spent this on writing, better characters for new people, better costumes or maybe even.. better 2D animation. The film being set in a video game means everything was animated, most costumes, sets, props and everything was animated and they all looked horrible, out of scale, low res and looked like something made from play dough but not in a good way where you can think "haha this has charm to it" but instead "okay, thats just stupid and unreasonable, why would somebody want this"My last point is humour, there are a few jokes here and there, nothing i could say "i see what they did there" to but they were there e.g "programmers" acting cool (acting could be a whole other topic but it think i will just put it down to poor writing) then being computer "nerds" IRL or i need to talk to me atarisegatendo wizard (a terrible joke indeed for the older audience but still poor)TL;DR it was poorly written, poorly animated, trying to invoke nostalgia from the audience or make the younger audience look in awe at the 3D effects, I'm not sure if i was suffering from the "vanilla wow effect" by thinking the older stuff was better or if it was genuinely bad but I'd rate it a 2-3/10 points awarded for the very lack luster humour and the effort that the actors put in to make the poor script work.
