Review of We Can Be Heroes (2020) by Haddon2007 — 23 Apr 2022
Holy **** **** This movie is awful on so many levels. I even wanted to scream at multiple intervals because of this unnecessary and **** horrifying excuse of a movie. For one, none of the kids, except for Missy, Wild Card, and Wheels, are likable. They exist just for filler (Slo-Mo, Facemaker, A Capella, Fast Forward, Noodles, and Rewind), and cuteness proximity (Guppy).
Also, despite this being a spinoff to "Sharkboy and Lavagirl" (WHICH WAS GOOD), the title characters don't get enough focus, specifically Sharkboy, who doesn't even have any lines!
Also, why the **** is the main protagonist, Missy, not the child of the duo? I mean, it makes no sense why they gave birth to Guppy, a side character who just exists because of cuteness proximity, as said before.
And then there's Ojo. She's a pretty cute character who is mute, but yet communicates through art. She's decent, but then the ending just RUINS her character. Turns out she CAN talk and that she's a straight-up **** in sheep's clothing who's the Supreme Commander of the aliens. Cool twist, right? Yeah, I thought so, too. But then it turns out it was all a TRICK, as she was just training the gang to be superheroes. How anti-climactic!
So yeah, this movie sucks balls. Sure, the acting's okay and the plot's decent (despite it being atrociously executed), but I would rather stick a tree branch up my ass than watching this movie.
