An average movie

Honestly, I was always had a hard time with this franchise. Indeed, even though the 1st installment was a surprise success at the box-office, I thought it was rather underwhelming even if the concept actually had some potential (as a matter of fact, I preferred ‘The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D’ which was a massive failure and received some even more abysmal reviews). Anyway, at the time, it seemed that Robert Rodriguez  found his new cash-cow and kept making Spy Kids flicks until the audience really got fed up. As a result, this movie was a flop and Rodriguez finally decided to drop the whole thing (he did make another one in 2011 and even though I haven’t see it yet, it seems to be even more pathetic). At least, 6 years before ‘Avatar’, Rodriguez already tried to revive the 3D technology but it seems that it was too early and the audience didn’t care for it at the time (the movie did look pretty ugly indeed). Even Sylvester Stallone playing multiple villains couldn’t save this flick. To conclude, I didn’t like it much and I don’t think it is really worth look, except maybe if you are a fan of this franchise.
