Reviews for Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over
Top CriticI like the movie, but hate its presentation.
07/29/03
Top Critic[I]t's not really a movie, it's a video game that doesn't work.
07/28/03
Top CriticA movie that aims for the fun and sensation of being inside a video game, but not a whole lot more.
07/25/03
Top CriticDiffers from its predecessors in some important -- and occasionally unfortunate -- ways.
07/25/03
Top CriticThis third installment follows up on the thrills and dazzling visuals that charmed audiences in the first film.
07/25/03
Top CriticRodriguez may have overreached his abilities with this film.
07/25/03
Top CriticStarts off with a burst of energy but becomes tedious midway through.
07/25/03
Top CriticSpy Kids 3-D is kind of exhausting, and the many-tiered virtual reality universe numbs the mind after a while. But Rodriguez manages to work in some nicely cornball messages.
07/25/03
Top CriticIMAX this isn't.
07/25/03
Top CriticThis is really just an excuse for blink-and -you'll-miss -them appearances by characters from the previous two films.
07/25/03
Top CriticThe story is tedious, and the dialogue can sound hokey to adult ears.
07/25/03
Top CriticWhile there's a certain rough charm to the handmade virtual reality world [Rodriguez] creates, the movie still has the undeniable drawback that it causes a headache.
07/25/03
Top CriticThe clever action and throwaway flights of fancy come close to making it worth the 3-D headache.
07/25/03
Top CriticThe film itself is practically a Saturday-matinee tribute to the Atari Hall of Fame -- from Tron to Q*bert -- and almost reproduces the druggy, hyperactive 2-D world of Nintendo.
07/25/03
Top CriticGame Over is exactly that: a popular franchise run, if not into the ground, at least one beat beyond where it should have ended.
07/25/03
Top CriticThis one, which puts the viewer right inside the video game with Juni, is also fun, although not quite as endearing and surprising as the first two outings.
07/25/03
Top CriticThe 3-D effect isn't as breathtakingly crisp as it is in James Cameron's Ghosts of the Abyss for the IMAX format, but it's still a blast to experience, especially for first-timers.
07/25/03
Top CriticSpy Kids 3D races from set piece to set piece, but the combination of speed, clutter and clatter make the movie a little too forgettable.
07/25/03
Top CriticA flat and dreary disappointment.
