We Can Be Heroes

This movie is trash. It has little to do with the prior film, minus the usage of Sharkboy and Lavagirl (who have, at best, 7-10 minutes of screen time). This fact makes it feel almost like an insult to call it a "sequel to the original".

The plot is predictable, cheesy, cliche, shall I go on? The CGI is subpar to trash. The usage of green screen is done horribly, and set look so fake, that it's hard for me to take it seriously. Hero names are plain and could be thought of by a toddler. And the main adult superhero is legitimately a Hawkeye knock off (down to the look of the actor) but he fights with swords instead of a bow. It feels almost like a mockbuster than a movie that's meant to be taken seriously.

Robert Rodriguez is know for his distinctive style. Sometimes it's resonates, sometimes it doesn't. This film does a little of both. As usual the ingenuity of Rodriguez is on full display, but I wish he had a bigger budget to showcase that.

My children liked the movie very much and that's all it matters. Everyone with a bad review needs to relax and let kids enjoy a feel-good movie catered for them.

Matured audiences only watch this cause of Pedro Pascal. Also the supporting cast are some of my favorite, Boyd Holbrook, Christian Slater.. Don't expect more on this, it's a kid movie or they wanna make it parody or something.. The CGI are awfully bad, they could do better though.. Still, I'm laughing all the way.. so enjoy

Before you read all the salty comments on how predictable, overly easy and cheesy this movie is, keep in mind those people don't seem to realize it's like a Superhero kind of Spy Kids, meant for family and younger audiences. Judging the movie from this place, it's definitely not as bad.

Was it a master piece? No. Is it worth one star? Come on! I give it a 6,5 for what it is and I found it very enjoyable, brainless entertainment and I'm sure younger kids would like it even more.
