Trivia
Taylor Dooley is the only returning actress from The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D (2005). Robert Rodriguez thought that fans would be offended if he brought back Taylor Lautner only to have Lautner's face covered by a helmet the entire time and give him no spoken lines.

Goofs
When the kids steal the alien space ship and just before Slo Mo is grabbed by Noodles, A Capella's mouth does not match the vocals she is supposed to be singing.

3/10

Garbage superhero movie. Feels like a mockbuster at best.

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.
