[The film has a] jaunty spirit and a few bits of weirdness worthy of Roald Dahl.

Fulfills kids' empowerment fantasies and features enough techno-wizardry and cool f/x to satisfy those weaned on videogames.

A real winner, this finds Rodriguez offering up a deft blend of slapstick and surrealism.

[Director Robert] Rodriguez... has a real affinity with kids and fills their odyssey with such real world hurdles as sibling rivalry and lack of self confidence in addition to the wicked supervillains, enemy spies, and double agents.

It’s considerably colorful and entertaining while it spins in front of you; it’s also almost immediately forgettable.

excellent when you watch at 5 years old, watery bullcrap as an adult. 0/100.

No entiendo porque esta mal rankeada en rotten si es una película demasiado buena ya que salen cosas futuristas y para esa época pensabamos que lo tendríamos en un futuro no muy lejano y no .
