Criticism
"With ' Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl' he [ Robert Rodriguez ] created a crazy and action-packed children's film in 3D. The idea had its seven- year-old son Racer, but also borrowing from, The Wizard of Oz ',' Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ',' The Neverending Story 'and' Harry Potter ' are obvious. "
" The plot - if you like to call the juxtaposition of video game -like action sequences - is silly and weird. The entertainment value of the movies outsourced fairground attraction it does not hurt. And technically the gaudy spectacle better ( because sharper ) is advised as, Spy Kids 3 -D '. Conclusion: A filmic fairground visit - fast-paced, garish, somewhat funny and full of surreal effects. So find something cool kids, adults less. "
"Neither content nor visually compelling children's film with enervating video game dramaturgy. The characters and plots seem unoriginal conglomerates, trashy ' TV series and lack any charm. "
