Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over

spy kids 4 eva

I’m not even finished with the film atp (38 mins in), but I’m writing this review now. The first is genuinely a fun time even with the poor CGI, the second was on the fence. I don’t even know what to say anymore. I know it’s a kids film, but you don’t need to make it goofier.

The variety of scenarios and settings this franchise gave us was a blessing. The technology and entertainment from this movie alone could send childhood me into a never-ending spiral of rewatches. I could single-handedly provide the budget for the next 5 Spy Kids movies, simply on the amount of rewatches. The story gets a little more serious this time and plays with us on an emotional level, which is 'game' changing. I think this scared me the most because of how real it got in my head. They all became so much more than characters. Heartbroken that this was the last. I expect a reunion soon.

My only regret is not seeing this in 3D, cause I think it would have totally changed the experience. Certainly felt below its predecessors, and many of our favorite characters didn’t join us til later in the film. At least the runtime was short.

This is such a cool movie! Such a fun concept, I love it🤩

I know it’s not really well liked but I do love this movie even with the shitty cgi
