Summary: Spy Kids 3D, a Great Movie That You Can See
Review: This movie is awesome! The 3D effects, adventure and the fact that there was no profanity and stuff was really cool! You can also learn good lesssons from this movie as well.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Please end this film series now...
Review: Thrid low budget entry in the Spy Kids series finds a lot of cheap 3d effects and no story in the Spy Kids family story where the cheapness of how they did this movie is so apparent that you hope the film company pulls the plug on any more of these big joke films.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Very Disappointing
Review: This was very disappointing. For many kids that have not experienced 3-D, it will be good to see for its novelty. However, the effects are typical 3-D for almost all cases, which is disappointing. The only good part was the 3-D chase scene much like the speeder race in "Star Wars Episode 1". In fact, almost all of the effects are copies of the recent "Star Wars" episodes or of "The Matrix". The plot really suffers, but is similar to a modern rendition of "Tron", "Lawnmower Man" or "Max Headroom". We own SK1 and SK2, but almost certainly will not keep SK3.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Ugh...could not wait til it ended.
Review: Although my five year old thought it was "kind of" cool, as a woman and movie lover, I suffered through every minute. The 3-D was ok for the first 15 minutes my eyes could take wearing the glasses, Sylvester Stallone's acting was atrocious and so were all the rest of the actors, the plot was...well...what was the plot? Ugh....I just could not wait for this movie to end. Parents beware...send the kids by themselves if they must go see this one.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The gang's all here
Review: If you liked all the Spy Kids movies, then you will kind of like Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over. Well, here's one thing, the 3-D glasses will give you a headache.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Doesn't deserve even one star !
Review: I have brought my daughter to so many movies and enjoyed many more than I thought, but this one is nearly unwatchable and I would have walked out if she would have come too. While my daugher saw some enjoyment in it - primarily seeing "big stars" in it, we all had eye strain from the long 3D portions and yet were mightily disappointed in the quality of the 3D. It seemed to be no plot, no character development - I didn't care about any of the characters. There are many plot defects as mentioned in other reviews. My husband pushed up the arms on several seats in the theater and actually laid down to sleep.

The movie was made just to show off effects - and they were poorly done - don't bother with this movie! - Exit - before it's too late!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Waste of time
Review: First of all, my 6 year old son loved it and can't wait for it to come to video. I personally hope that he doesn't notice it sitting on shelves when it goes to DVD.

Also, I quite enjoyed the first Spy Kids. It was original, pure story telling, imaginative, different, and had a message that I really appreciated (family is the most important thing in the world). The second one followed this theme a bit, but seemed more interested in special effects, advanced gadgetry, and bitter rivalry. But in the end, it was family that mattered.

Then there is the third movie.

Okay, let's bring up the fact that this was done in 3D. First of all, this gave me a headache and I had to keep taking off my glasses to rest my eyes. One time, this unfortunately woke up my wife who was using my arm as a pillow. In the end, this was a major eye strain. I've seen better 3D, primarily at Disneyland. The technology exists, why not use it?

Another problem with 3D is that the director focused too much on it. It seems to me that the director focused more on what he thought would look good in 3D and not what would make a good story.

As far as character development goes, the story starts off with Juni feeling betrayed by the OSS and not wanting to be part of the organization. The only thing that brings him "back" (temporarily) is his kidnapped sister. I thought that this was a good sub-plot, but unfortunately it fizzled away as soon as Juni entered the video game. But in the end, I found myself having problems identifying with the characters or finding them believable.

Then there is plot. Oh my!! I'm only limited to 1,000 words so I won't get started because there wouldn't be any end to it. But I'll say this again, Rodriquez seemed more interested in what would make a good effect, not a good story.

And then the story. There are so many questions. For instance, who is the programmer of this game because it seemed that the OSS had the ability to reprogram the game at will, especially when they feel they needed to sabotage Juni and Carmen's mission. Why couldn't have they used this more often, or why couldn't they have used this ability to save Carmen or to destroy the game in the first place.

The first two movies focused on the importance of family. But while Carmen is having her brain fried by a computer, family is nowhere to be found. The father is working on past experiments (he apparently didn't learn much from the first movie regarding the type of experiment) and the mother is... who knows where. Where was everybody??!!? They didn't show up until the end of the movie.

Which brings me to the end of the movie. I just sat there with my jaw opened wondering, "What the heck is the point of this scene?" as every past character from the other movies appeared as superheros coming in on flying shoes, flying pigs, flying wheelchairs. Come on, these are spies and old criminals not punished for their crimes, not the Justice League of America. The last scene was horrific and made absolutely no sense. Even less sense than the two minutes Elijah Wood appeared as the Deceiver. For a deceiver, he was't too convincing since he got kicked out of the game before he could do any harm.

The only reason I gave one extra star was that there appeared, at the end of the movie, a scene where my son might learn something. The power of forgiving others. However, it was really brief and probably went over most kids' heads.

I would not suggest taking your children to this movie, or seeing it yourself (though my wife did have a nice nap). The original is the only one worth watching, in my opinion. This one is just mind-numbing stupidity.

Summary: Pretty Painful- One of the Worst!
Review: I took my daughter and her friend to see this movie. Being a mom, I expected to be less than excited. I have to say that this is one of the worst movies that I have ever sat through.
The colors were washed out, mostly grays, the 3D effects were somewhat blurry, and if you've seen Disney Muppets 3D or It's A Bug's Life at Disney World, you'll probably be disappointed with the quality of these effects. Also watching this movie in 3D is very tiring. Now maybe it's because I'm not a gamer, but I would not have wanted to be inside this world. It was so gray and gloomy! Lots of geometric shapes, cardboard characters, no real emotion. It was one big void and felt like a prison.
The 3D might be the only redeeming quality of this movie if you haven't ever experienced 3D.
Is this the children's movie of the future devoid of color, clarity, emotion and purpose?
I hope not!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Fun movie
Review: I've loved all the Spy Kids movies so far and the third one, although the weakest of the three, is still worth seeing, especially for old-timer gamers like myself. The 3D itself, is kinda neat, but I think I'm spoiled on the stereographic 3D rather than the red/blue lenses used for this movie. If you can get your eyes adjusted to the glasses, you'll enjoy this film if you liked the other ones.
