This movie felt like a fever dream. Watching this felt like being high except without any good side effects.

This movie is horrible. The plot makes no sense, the acting is horrible, and the special effects make me want to puke.

Terrible. Convinced me to create a rotten tomatoes account. 0 stars. At 13 me and my (all younger) cousins had more fun making fun of the awful CGI and plot/characters and overt in-your-face messaging. My brain was turned into mush and I wish I could erase the memory of it even now three years later.

This was one of the worst movies I've seen my whole life. The "plot twist" at the end isn't even a proper twist, it just felt like "and it was all a dream". Poor writing, even for a kids movie.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Irish Times

We need a baby-sitter we can trust while nursing the last of the season's hangovers. Just try and stay out of the room for the excruciatingly sunny cover of David Bowie's Heroes.

Rated: 3/5

San Jose Mercury News

A sort of sequel to "The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl," this film gives kids exactly what they want. Adults? Not so much.

Rated: 2.5/4

Goofy, but it never defaults or cops out on that...you gotta take this for what it is, which is a lot of fun.
