    All right, so I'm a kid at heart, so sue me. Robert Rodriguez and family have crafted a fun film for the kids. If you take it seriously and judge it as a "grown up" movie, it falls apart.

Also, the 3D is a lot better and more imaginative than Rodriguez' previous entry into this genre (Spy Kids 3).

It's sure better than a lot of the crap that passes for kids movies out there (Jumanji, etc...)
