It's The Matrix meets TRON meets Jimmy Neutron, with all the cheery (if not cheesy) evanescence of a Jolly Rancher commercial. I mean that as a compliment.

Reviews for Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over
Watching Juni and Carmen dodge enemies and jump from platform to platform is about as fun as watching someone else play videogames.

While the visuals have gained a dimension, the story has lost one.
07/24/03
It's the gimmick that sells. This movie without 3-D would be three times more boring.

Wwhhaatt aa rruusshh...... Hey! Put on your 3-D glasses, unless you want to read double.
07/24/03
The special effects may be in 3-D, but the story is flat, and there is very little of the quirky humor of the first two.
07/24/03
The silly sensation is fun, even for victims of the short-lived 1980s 3-D revival of Comin’ at Ya! and Jaws 3-D.
07/24/03
Eye-candy, but fun. No down time, but had some trouble with the 3-D.
07/24/03
...something between `Tron' and `The Matrix,' though with a cheery warmth in place of the chilly dysphoria.
07/24/03
While it is easily the least of the three films and not quite as focused or ingenious as the previous installments, it still has an endless amount of creativity behind it and while kids will eat it up without question, there is enough ingenuity to provide
07/24/03
While inferior to its predecessors, the third Spy Kids is the first 3-D movie able to hold its own as a 2-D film.
07/23/03
As sheer dumb spectacle, Spy Kids 3-D isn't wholly without merit. Too bad Rodriguez can no longer be bothered to offer family audiences more than that.
07/23/03
Rodriguez's DIY monomania ... is laudable in theory, but in SK3D he may have unwittingly found a twin in the Toymaker, trapped in his own creation.
07/22/03
Rodriguez hasn't lost touch with life's playful side. Let's hope he never does.
07/22/03
The quaint subgenre of 3-D cinema gets a dazzling dust-off.
07/21/03
Top CriticThe all-CGI, cartoon-inspired game F/X are undeniably cool in three dimensions...but Rodriguez aims lamentably low in almost every other aspect of the movie
07/21/03
Without 3-D, Spy Kids 3-D has almost nothing to hook an audience.
07/21/03
Demonstrates that few are immune to the corrosive effect that technology can have on story, character, and sense.

[The best part of the movie is] Sylvester Stallone, enjoyably ridiculous as not only the Toymaker but three other goofy-looking dudes!
