Not for Kindergarteners!
My 5 1/2 year old daughter cannot go to sleep after seeing about 1/2 of this movie today--WAY too scary for her!!!

Children will love seeing this movie! It's not for any serious film fan, as it's rather shoddily made. But the colorful scenes and characters will interest young viewers. The violence might be too much for the youngest children. Personally I enjoyed the scene with the ice cream as it was always a dream of mine to live in a world of food.

Save your money!
I saw this today with my five year old daughter and 12 year old son (dragged him). Frankly, the movie was too dark and scary at times for the five year old, but moronic for anyone older than that. My daughter (who doesn't scare easily) held my arm numerous times and screamed out when the mother is pulled away by a tornado type storm. My son actually commented about how it was even worse than he could have thought possible. The best line was at the end when a child in the audience asked loudly "is it over now?". Save your money - this movie is an insult to children's inteligence and unbearable for the adults that take them.

Gives daydreamers a huge pat on the back.
I happen to have a daydreamer and this is a movie that just re-enforced that it is good to daydream. Don't get me wrong, there is a time and a place for daydreaming but real life is not very tolerant of daydreamers. Especially real life schools.

great for kids and fun for adults
My boys loved this (age 5 & 8). it was also funny enough to keep my attention. There may not have been a heavy message but it was a lot of fun!!

Wow, really bad!
We took our 4 & 1/2 yr. old to see this over the weekend- wish we would've washed the car instead. She loves going to the movies and attends non-animated movies on a regular basis. She wasn't thrilled with the 3-D thing, but that wasn't our biggest concern, she was fine skipping the glasses. But the movie itself was horrible. It was painful for us, the acting was horrendous, somewhat scary/violent, and it was probably a bit more fitting for 8 & up. We weren't expecting much out of this movie going in, but we were so disappointed we wasted our time.

Worst movie I have ever seen
This movie is awful, purely awful. It was plainly and perfectly stupid. Sitting through it only for the kids was agonizing. I would not recommend that anyone pay $$$ to see this movie.

good for 5+
It's actually not a bad movie. It was a bit of fun with the cool action and i like it in 3-D.

Not for preschoolers
My 5 year old loved it and wants to see it over and over. My 3 year old was terrified and traumatized by the 3-D villian.

don't see this movie
shark boy and lava girl was worse than the yu-gi-oh movie. It was so cornball, boring, unimaginative, unnecessarily frightening, and the 3-D effects fell flat. With the incredible graphics of PS2 and Nintendo 3-D movies pale in comparison. I would rather stay at home watching my son play Ratchet & Clank
than pay $16 plus popcorn to suffer through this movie.

Adults will likely be gagging, kids will likely be gleeful...
what can i say - after suffering through Super Babies 2, I NEVER thought I'd be put through another celluloid Inquisition so badly in 2005. Well, Sharkboy placed me on Dante's 7th ring of hell for about 90 long minutes. But - I wasn't there for me. My 4 1/2 year old son LOVED it. There's nothing to be gleaned from it however - other than the trite-old "to dream is good" and "an active imagination is a sign of intelligence". Oh, and I should throw in "don't keep a journal"! The special effects are cool to kids, but mind-numbing for adults. I just bought the DVD - and my kid has watched it non-stop for the past week. Soooo, if entertainment for Junior is what yer after - this is a home-run. For adults, I would say this is one that you "suffer through because you really really love your kids".

Painful for me but my kids liked it
I consider sitting through this movie a huge act of love for my children. The kids enjoyed the film and would see it again. I was praying for the movie to be over and I think I said, "make it stop" out loud.

pretend you're a 6 yr old
I went thinking I was going to be bored, but the movie was cute. A few of the places in the movie might be confusing to younger kids (Train of thought was a train not on any tracks going thru a field of brains, etc). Some of the action was cartoonish. A few fight scenes by shark boy and some of the animation could be disturbing to younger children. I took a 5 yr old boy and 6 yr old girl and both said 2 thumbs up!

What a complete disaster....
I found this to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen for my kids. Nothing offensive mind you...it was just terrible!!. Even the 3-D cant help this film ...in fact it made it worse. When the glasses are worn, everythig is almost black and white and there is very little that appears to "leap out" at you. The story was convluted and the characters...especially Shark boy" are unwatchable. I liked to know what genius "greenlighted " this film because I have a bridge to sell him....Watch at your own risk I havent said it often but this was truly one of the worst films I have ever seen. My 9 and 10 year old begged me not to take them but I wanted my 7 year old to see it. Well next time Ill leave the older two home...they were right!
