The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl (2005)

You won't be disappointed!

Powerful

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

WARNING: THIS FILM IS HORRIBLE!This film is about a boy who dreams of two heroes. They turn out to be real and take the kid to a world he dreamed up. The encounter the villains multiple times. Eventually they convince one of the antagonists to join them. They travel back to earth and defeat Mr. Electricity(the crappie villain).Blah blah blah save the day crap.The problems with this film are: Crappy CGI, Terrible acting, it doesn't know it's own plot, random story points, Cliché moments(the entire thing). All in all this is a horrible film.

Max is ridiculed by the kids in Mr. Electricidad (George Lopez)'s class for making up stories about Sharkboy (Taylor Lautner) and Lavagirl. He writes it all in his notebook. Class bully Linus steals the notebook. Only Marissa (Sasha Pieterse) appreciates his stories. His father (David Arquette) like his imagination but his mother (Kristin Davis) wants him to stop. Strange things are happening. Then Sharkboy and Lavagirl come to take Max to help save the planet Drool.I didn't watch this in 3D. Honestly I don't think I would like the sensory overload of Robert Rodriguez's CGI world. Instead of a fun action adventure, this gets a bit aggravating with all the craziness. I wouldn't call the child actors that great but I don't put any of it on them. I just don't think this is a fun movie.

Spoiler Alert!!! OK the only reason I saw this film was because it was new and I was a stupid kid who was constantly bored. I had my parents rent this and my oh my was this film just bad. I'll start off by saying the affects for this film were just poorly unreal but at least captured your attention. The story really was a bit childish but at least it's got some good things about it. One of the things I couldn't stand about this film was George Lopez because he was pretty annoying as the teacher. He was also a rude jerk who I think personally should of got killed at the end. I mean he insulted the kids whenever he could and he didn't want our hero to even try to be friends with his daughter like seriously. I did like him as the villain though seeing as how he just had to be as much of a jerk as his 2nd character was. Overall this film is for little kids only, it's a fantasy film just like Spy Kids films. I give it a 4 out of 10 for it's creativity and some of the humor.

While in today's time, this film is outdated and could have had way better graphics and quality, The Adventures Of Sharkboy And Lavagirl opened up viewers minds to a whole host of different opportunities for superhero movies- whether thats the traditional superhero movie with superheroes that save the world or a whole country and do all that whilst falling madly in love with someone and not being able to give them your true identity. Or whether it is simply a made up superhero world dreamt by a young boy. This film enlightens the younger generation to widen their imaginations and create TV's next superheroes. While the film itself is inspirational to the younger generation and where their mind will take them, the graphics and quality of the film are low, even for 2005's standards. However, overall I would give the film a 7/10 for a young child's imagination brought to life, along with the astonishing performances from both actors that made the emotional response from the audience possible.
