Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
l-00642 I'm Bruce Bannermam I'm here to tell you my opinion on the film spy kids 3 Game Over. This movie is known for a having a great cast which have had the unfortunate bad luck of staring in this film. I tell you this film would of been a lot better if only the directors were real men and not hipster men, I tell you Melbourne has a real representation in this film.It was clear the directors were cracking a fat over the actors. though the cast did not clearly have a lack of talent. This movie would clearly see a much needed increase of appeal in the 90's any reviewer that has gone and given this movie a good review has been payed off and is telling porkies.Anyway I particularly liked the scene were the kid made the other kids brain fart as that is quality television. It could be seen in one scene that the actors were jerking the mutton knocking about for a paycheck. The animation quality is awful for the budget of the film. In all honesty this film makes me wish I had died off during the Emu War.
stormhawk2018 If Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over is, in fact, the end of the Spy Kids movies, it's just about the most anti-climactic end to a series ever. Where the first two films were fun and enjoyable, Spy Kids 3-D is overbearing and obnoxious. The film makes the fatal mistake of utilizing 3-D technology that just doesn't work (it's those old red- and-blue glasses that should've been made obsolete in the '50s), and effectively infuriates those in the audience over the age of twelve.In a prologue that's mercifully not in 3-D, we learn that Juni Cortez (Daryl Sabara) has abandoned the Spy Kid lifestyle in favor of detective work (he couldn't handle the pressure that comes with being a spy, apparently). But when his sister Carmen (Alexa Vega) is kidnapped and held hostage inside a cheesy video game developed by the Toymaker (Sylvester Stallone), Juni has to pick up where he left off and venture inside the game to save her.That simplistic storyline is a big part of why Spy Kids 3-D fails as horribly as it does. The teamwork aspect of the first two films, between Carmen and Juni, is almost completely absent here. And that was a big part of what made those films as entertaining as they were: the idea that this squabbling pair of siblings had to work together to solve a variety of complex and clever puzzles. Here, the majority of the film is akin to watching someone else play a video game, as Juni gets into car chases, fights robots, etc. With hardly a whiff of a plot to keep things moving, this becomes incredibly tedious almost immediately. While the special effects are admittedly quite impressive, they'd be more at home in an arcade.Surprisingly, Daryl Sabara (who's been one of the weaker actors of the series) really steps up and does a fairly decent job at carrying the film. And, Sylvester Stallone is especially good, playing multiple characters, and pulling off the comedy remarkably well. And the good thing was Salma Hayek, who appears with a white lab coat and her hair in two pigtails, à la Emma "Baby Spice" Bunton.And then, of course, there's the 3-D aspect of the movie. Every single moment of the film that takes place inside the game (which adds up to at least an hour of screen time), is presented using "the very latest digital technology" (or so says the press notes) of 3-D effects. But really, this is about as effective as those old William Castle movies of the '50s - and just as annoying. Seeing through these flimsy glasses proves to be the first major test, as the blue portion of the glasses seems to have been tinted a little too darkly. Even if you're able to see properly, you'll immediately notice that supposed 3-D objects barely appear to leave the screen. And it's not like the technology to create effective 3-D images doesn't exist; James Cameron's Ghosts of the Abyss did a superb job of immersing the audience in a realistic-seeming 3-D world. Fortunately, Rodriguez seems to have predicted that most people wouldn't be able to sit through an entire movie wearing the glasses, and the movie is watchable without them. Background images have primarily been "enhanced," meaning it's actually preferable to view the flick without the aid of the glasses.Spy Kids 3-D will presumably fare a lot better on home video, where the 3-D effects will be removed from the film. But even if that's the case, you'll still have to sit through a terminally dull storyline that makes Tron look like Citizen Kane.
ianmorrisongarrett This movie starts out with sub par visuals and acting and simply gets worse the longer this mess drags on. It amazes me how a movie with a budget of $38,000,000 could be this horrible. Some of the actors have at least mediocre talent and yet the end has visuals that look straight out of Microsoft word "Word Art". This movie would have been better if M. Night Shyamalan directed it! The plot is predictable, the acting is deplorable and the visuals are downright awful. If your children seriously want to watch a good movie show them something of actual quality.Personally I think that the rating of 4.1 is extremely generous to say the least.
slightlymad22 Continuing my plan to watch every Sly Stallone movie in his filmography in order, I come to another supporting role. 2003's Spy Kids 3: Game Over or Spy Kids 3-D: Game OverPlot in A Paragraph: The Spy Kids are back!! Carmen (Alexa Vega) is caught in a virtual reality game designed by the Kids' new nemesis, the Toymaker (Stallone). It's up to Juni (Daryl Sabara) to save his sister, and the world.I'll admit from the off that I enjoyed the first two movies, and I love both Vega and Sabara, I find them to be a joy to watch. I know the plot calls for her not to be seen much but Alexa Vega is woefully under used. Which is a shame as she was excellent in both the previous movies. The parents Antonio Banderas and Carla Guigino are both reduced to cameos which is also a shame. This leaves Sabara to mainly carry the movie on his own, he tries hard, a little too hard as his charm from the excellent first movie, and less excellent but still highly enjoyable sequel is missing. Sly is clearly enjoying himself, playing an over the top (Yes pub intended) villain and is clearly having a lot of fun. Ricardo Montalban brings grace and dignity to everything he does. Danny Trejo and Cheech Martin aren't given as much to do this time around. Nor is Holland Taylor, which is s shame!! George Clooney, Steve Buescemi, Bill Paxton, Alan Cumming and Emily Osment all return amongst others. Side note: Selina Gomez has her first role as "Waterpark Girl" Highly recommended for kids of all ages.
