Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over

Generally entertaining silliness. First it stuns you with great 3D and then entertains with myriad cameo roles that either reference famous recent blockbusters or pay tribute to the whole Spy Kids saga. Three times as much fun for the same money – thanks to the longer runtime and large number of stars. (27.11.2003)

What must be appreciated in the movie is definitely the fact that Rodriguez doesn't keep us in suspense and immediately throws us into action - not even after ten minutes. What I must appreciate as well is the fact that Rodriguez went down the path of video games and seamlessly incorporated Juni Cortez into one. As a fan of old video games and Gameboy games, I certainly have nothing against something like that. The execution is also very good, which only enhances that 3D impression. I'm quite curious about how it would look today in a 3D cinema. However, I'll probably let the desire pass. Robert Rodriguez did not present a great script. He was heavily inspired by video games and placed the story in them, in which Juni wants to save Carmen, who got stuck in one such computer game. It's a very addictive game created by Toymaker played by the crazy Sylvester Stallone. Then it's just an interesting video game, where real actors play the characters, sometimes it has drive, sometimes it's boring. But it's not really worth waiting for the end because it's terrifyingly pathetic. Rodriguez loves his family. After all, he has five children. The pathetic cry of "Family!" at the end is rather embarrassing than heroic. A bit of fate's irony is the fact that Rodriguez divorced after eighteen years of marriage, even before the fourth part of his stunning and gradually emptier and emptier family series was released.
