I like the movie, but hate its presentation.

[I]t's not really a movie, it's a video game that doesn't work.

A movie that aims for the fun and sensation of being inside a video game, but not a whole lot more.

Differs from its predecessors in some important -- and occasionally unfortunate -- ways.

This third installment follows up on the thrills and dazzling visuals that charmed audiences in the first film.

Rodriguez may have overreached his abilities with this film.

Spy Kids 3 is much sharper and funnier than the second outing, but the missing pieces, namely the parents and sister, are sorely needed.

Kids will love it, but adults may find it flat.

Retains the homemade virtues that made the earlier installments such an un-selfconscious, pleasingly clunky delight.

The threequel sacrifices plot and character interaction in favor of Game Boy action in a film that feels like a direct-to-DVD release

There's plenty of bonus material, including another terrific 'Ten Minute Film School' hosted by the one-man-movie-making-machine, Robert Rodriguez.

Scrapping coherent narrative in favor of wall-to-wall 3-D effects, this overstimulating digital production spotlights Juni and his grandfather...

The film most definitely has its flaws, but don't be surprised if this is the one Spy Kids DVD out of the three that your kids end up watching the most.

Disney gives the big thumbs up to the nuclear American family by including only four 3-D glasses on this two-disc edition of Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over.

Audience Reviews for Spy Kids 3-D - Game Over

Now this is an example of when the filmakers decide to open the cash till and do nothing else. Spy Kids 3 takes advantage of children with its promised exciting adventure but all it delivers is the above average 3D.

a big step back from the previous two. still entertaining, but instead of furthering the spy/james bond for kids storyline, we get a movie built for the 3D gimmick and strangled by the video game plot. ok, but missing something.
