Everyone always knew that Max had a wild imagination, but no one believed that his wildest creations -- a boy raised by watchful great white sharks and a girl with the force of a volcano -- were real. Now, these two pint-sized action masters will show Max that even an ordinary kid has what it takes to be extraordinary.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

My twin 7 year olds love this movie - if kids like the movie, that should really be all that counts because **drumroll** it's a kid's movie! Always interesting screen visuals and some nice performances from the cast. George Lopez is great in the role - just great. This guy should be doing more films (I sound like his publicist or mother but it's true!). Not a huge fan of Robert Rodriguez but he did well with this one.

I love the film's plot summary. Max (Cayden Boyd) realizes that his dreams turn for real, incarnating Sharkboy (Taylor Lautner) and Lavagirl (Taylor Dooley), but also bringing to life some danger to the real world. But the CG is very distracting to watch. It's very obvious.I enjoy the movie. I love their adventures. I love the components of Planet Drool. I love the creativity invested in the villains and challenges. But this is a fantasy movie that suppose to convince you that the fictional world is real. Planet Drool looks like a video game background, and it should like alive.One SFX guy from "Resident Evil: Retribution" said, "The more you can shoot for real, the more salable you're visual effects are going to be." The director and the production crew should have used real props and set pieces.I guess the CG worked against them.

The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl in 3D (2005): Dir: Robert Rodriguez / Cast: Taylor Lautner, Taylor Dooley, Cayden Boyd, George Lopez, David Arquette: Morbid piece of eye candy crap about a boy who imagines Shark Boy and Lava Girl and is the brunt of bullying at school. Shark Boy is raised by sharks and Lava Girl burns everything she touches but unfortunately not the script. They enlist their young creator in saving their dream world. Lame plot tries to be creative but ends upon a foolish note. Directed by Robert Rodriguez with a production about as fetching as dog vomit. Rodriguez pulled off the creative elements to great degree with Spy Kids but here he gains a production that is on the same level as something you might fish out of a cereal box. Embarrassing performances by Taylor Lautner and Taylor Dooley as Shark Boy and Lava Girl. Why anyone would combined a shark with scorching hot substances is beyond me unless he was simply having a hot and cold faze. Cayden Boyd plays their earthling creator who needs juvenile therapy after this. George Lopez does his best as the electrical villain with plug hounds but the role is simply cardboard. David Arquette can add this to a stream of shitty films that includes See Spot Run and Ready to Rumble. This is empty headed entertainment that should be torn by sharks or burned in lava. Score: 1 / 10

This is one of, if not the worst, movies of all time. The acting is bad, the CGI and special effects are TERRIBLE TERRIBLE and the plot is TERRIBLE TERRIBLE. Many things about the movie don't even make sense, like parents are still going to send their kids to school during a tornado? I don't think so. Max lives a sad life. His dad is weird, and he lives right across from the school. Max's teacher, Mr. Electricidad, is a jerk. Mr. Electricidad makes fun of a kid's name (He called Linus a Minus)My sister said she would cry if she had that life.Sharkboy is an easily-angered child who needs meds. By the time you reach the scene where he fights the plug-in cords, you will take the DVD out. This movie is so terrible and it is super super SUPER boring. Max is constantly embarrassing himself in front of his class. He said Sharkboy and lava girl do exist and he also said to Linus "He ruined my dream journal!" Please do not watch this movie.
