Summary: WHAT HAPPENED!!!!
Review: First of all, I saw this movie at my friend's house,and I thought that it wasn't all that good. In fact, it was very disappointing. First, no offense but the so-called 3-D effects STUNK!!!! Second, this one was barely even funny at all! Finally, I thought that the plot was really dumb. I don't mean to be offensive but this movie was VERY disappointing. I think my friend got ripped off when he bought this movie. I prefer the first and second movies.

Summary: Brilliant 3D ,Good movie
Review: First of , the 3D effects on a properly ajusted projection system ,be at home or on 35mm in a theatre were brilliant, the best red & green ever, & I am going back to 1936 and those short productions they used to show.
Congratulations guys for a brilliant concept,
granted the story was a bit weak,but it was one hell of an experience.
buy it on DVD its worth the money. Later.. paul.

Summary: Spy Kids: Game Over.......Literally!
Review: Well, let me put it this way; I sincerely hope that this poor excuse of a movie concludes the making of Spy Kids movies forever. I mean, let's just face it! The movies are getting worse by the minute! I wasn't too crazy about Spy Kids to begin with, and after the second movie, I tried to do a favor for myself and made a pact with myself never to see another Spy Kids movie voluntarily for as long as I live, but unfortuately, when I went to the movies with a couple of close friends, everything else was sold out except Game Over (I wonder why....), we wound up having to see it, and that was that.First off, the movie itself lacked......well, actually, it lacked everything, but most of all it lacked a good plot, humor, meaning, and good acting. Four things that, for the most part, every good movie needs. I mean, any moviemakers can make a crappy movie, throw in some 3-D, and make some money. Just the idea of 3-D makes people willing to spend the money to go see it, but that's a shame, because this movie isn't worth a cent to go see. After I realized the movie was a total dud, I looked around the theater to see other people's reactions to the movie. In the beginning of the 3-D part*, most little kids were transfixed on the screen, but 10 minutes into it, most kids were already wriggling and playing with their candy. Some people, both young and old, had taken their glasses off, and were either just watching it without them, or doing something else. * I forgot to mention earlier that not all of the movie is 3-D. Only about half is, maybe even less. So, in conclusion, this movie is a total waste of your time, effort, and money. Do yourself a favor and don't even think about buying it.

Summary: my sons loved it!
Review: I took my 2 sons to see this in the theater. (...) . My second grader adores Spy Kids. They loved this movie! I am amazed that anyone would give it bad reviews. Of course it's corny - it's made to appeal to kids. I think the actor who plays Juni is a fantastic actor. I think that the film has a good message for children and is very fun.

Summary: Best Part of Movie was the Closing Credits!
Review: My kids and I hated this movie. We liked the first two but this one was terrible. It had nothing to do with the 3-D. And I like Ricardo Montalnan and Antonio Banderas. It should be voted one of the worse movies of all time!

Summary: WORST.MOVIE.EVER!
Review: If I could describe this movie in one word...Atrocious.This movie has a lame plot,horrible acting, (especially Juni)
and,(drumroll,please) the worst thing about the movie is the whole love affair between Juni and the computer girl,Dimitra.BARF! Also,the 3-D effects hurt my eyes sometimes.This movie should carry an surgeon general's warning. SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING:ALLOWING YOUR KIDS TO WATCH THIS CRAP WILL DUMB THEM DOWN AND MAKE THEM THINK THAT THEY ARE,"THE GUY". Actually,this movie is sort of a Matrix parody.Okay,Juni is "The Guy". (in the Matrix,Neo is "The One")
All of these people are in a computer-generated world. (sounds familiar,eh?) (...)

Summary: Much better on video than in the theater
Review: First off, let me start by saying that I own all three Spy Kids movies and although I'm an adult male with no kids, I've seen the first one probably 5 times and the second one thrice...so I'm not a typical Spy Kids fan. However, I am a big fan of Robert Rodriguez and his maverick style of filmmaking, as well as his films (particularly the Desperado films, which are about as opposite from Spy Kids as you can get). Also, his DVD's are always loaded with tons of extras including commentary, behind the scenes footage, his "10-minute Film School" videos and other material. So his films are always worth the DVD purchase. Aside from writing and directing his films, Rodriguez is also the cinematographer, editor, production designer, visual effects supervisor and producer. Oh yeah, and HE ALSO WRITES THE MUSIC!!! Because his films are made on ultra-tight budgets yet always reap massive box office, he enjoys creative freedom unheard of to anyone in the motion picture business not named George Lucas. That's how he was able to make a 3-D film for kids. So what's the verdict? Well, when I first saw Spy Kids 3-D in the theater I was definitely underwelmed. Perhaps I was sitting too close to the screen or maybe the picture was out of focus, but more than anything the 3-D gave me a headache and frequently I had to remove the glasses to give my eyes a rest. But a funny thing happened when I watched it again on DVD...IT WAS LIKE SEEING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME! Thanks to the sharpness of DVD (they actually recommend you watch it on a computer monitor, which is higher quality), the 3-D effect was awesome! In fact, after watching it I put in Spy Kids 2, and that movie immediately seemed weak in comparison to the dynamic 3-D effect of the third movie. Now some reviewers here have complained about the story, and they are right, it lacks the charm and wit of the other Spy Kids films. However, as Rodriguez mentions in the commentary on the disc, this is largely due to the fact that it originally was not going to be a Spy Kids film...He set out to make a 3-D film for kids that would progress like a video game, and decided later to shoehorn that plot into a Spy Kids film. And I think he succeeded...the movie advances very similarly to the way a video game advances through various levels of increasing difficulty. The visuals are cool and if you haven't seen it, the movie is worth checking out!

Summary: Scamming the customer
Review: I purchased this video for my mother-in-law to give to my daughter for Easter. She was so excited & really wanted the movie. (She had seen it in the theater & loved it.) To everyone's surprise & my daughters ultimate dissapointment, the VHS WAS NOT 3D. That was part of the appeal of this movie, getting to wear the cool glasses & seeing the special effects. Now I have to go purchase the DVD to get her a 3-D version. What a way to scam the consumer!

Summary: Very cool movie
Review: Being a fan of the previous Spy Kids movies, I decided to see this one. And I don't regret seeing it at all. It's a very good movie, the best Spy Kids movie so far. It is definitely worth seeing (more than once!) This movie is on my list of recommmendations. It's really fun, doesn't get too boring like some movies do. If you have more than 4 family members, then you can order glasses on-line. People need to just get the DVDs since they come with the glasses. I mean, who doesn't have a DVD player? Getting a DVD is worth the few extra dollars, especially in this case. The DVD format comes with special features, and this one comes with lots of special features. The movie is good, you get a behind-the-scenes look at what it took to make the movie-it's a good buy.
About the movie:
Juni Cortez is called in by the OSS to go save his sister, Carmen, who is trapped in a video game. Juni goes inside the videogame, but will he be able to shut the video game down? Watch the movie for the exciting 3-D and to find out what happens. Even parents will like, Spy Kids movies, too!

Summary: Spy Kids have gone a bit too far...but still a decent show!
Review: In my opinion, I think that the creators of Spy Kids were worried that this movie would do poorly, so they added the new feature: 3D. It gets fairly annoying watching TV with those 3D glasses on. Grant it, the 3D is pretty cool, but the colors aren't even right: There are only two. I think they would've been better off if they let the 3D stuff alone.

Okay, now getting onto the actual movie. STORYLINE (4.5 / 5):
Interesting, definitaly for children from ages 9-13. VALUE: (4 / 5):
DEFINITALY get the DVD version: It has so much more stuff. For one, the Bonus Features are great, and there are no 3D Glasses with the VHS version. GRAPHICS (4.5 / 5):
Everything was awesome, except for the fact that the colors weren't right. REPLAY VALUE (3.5 / 5):
This is one flaw of the Spy Kids movie: you usually only watch them once. OVERALL: (4 / 5):
A good movie, but you may want to rent it first. I find it hard to watch this movie again and again, and if you rent it, that's all you'll need. (BE SURE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ASK IF IT COMES WITH THE 3D GLASSES WHEN YOU RENT IT)
-----
MORE INFO YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW: *The DVD comes with 4 3D Glasses *If you get the DVD version, you CAN watch it normally, without the 3D glasses. It will appear normal to you, unlike if you are watching the 3D version without the glasses *When watching with the 3D glasses, my eyes began to be stressed. Now, nobody else watching had this problem, just an FYI.
----- Happy shopping, and thanks for reading my review! Jonathan
