So much effort for such weak results. Aside from a few interesting cameo roles and jokes, it's pretty much terrible to watch as an adult.

I watched at home, but the 3D effects were awful; it felt like half the movie was filmed just for effect (lots of things coming at you), and the other half is actors standing in different planes superimposed for more effect.

Sly gives possibly the worst acting performance of his career here. The story doesn't make a lick of sense, but the visuals are fantastic. Ricardo Montalban is also great here because he really was wheelchair-bound while making this film. He simply exudes charm, grace and humility throughout in spite of appearing mostly with his face pasted onto a CGI droid suit.

Maybe I just don't know how to rate the Spy Kids movies, but to me the first three at least are flying at the same level. I don't affect one over the other despite the evident drop in other people's estimation. #3 (Game Over, a terrible lie given there's a fourth one) is another bit of silly fluff with Juni (who really owns this story, even Carmen is sidelined for much of it) going into a virtual game world to save the world from the Toymaster (Sylvester Stallone having some fun here). This solves, or at least attenuates, the problem most adults have with the franchise - there are just too many effects and virtual environments for these films' capacity to render them believably. Well, the game world isn't real, so it's mean to look like that. It's really just a bunch of set pieces (or levels), but that's thematically consistent with the adventure. I kind of which there had been more of Gumshoe Juni because the film noir gags were actually pretty clever. As usual, the adults are near useless and here have smaller roles, but Ricardo Montalban, introduced in the previous film as the grandfather, has more to do, even if it's just his head on a robot body. This was unfortunately the weakest part of Game Over - they have him act all mysterioso for no reason but to hide the final, saccharine twist. Even if everyone but Juni is on the fringes, they still bring back a LOT of characters from the franchise (it was probably all filmed at the same time). But yeah, this isn't really any better or worse than #1 and #2.
