Chicago Sun-Times "The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D" is an innocent and delightful children's tale that is spoiled by a disastrous decision to film most of it in lousy 3-D. The 3-D process subtracts instead of adding. Ordinary 2-D movies look perfectly real enough for audiences and have for years; if it's not broke, don't fix it. Roger Ebert

USA Today There's sad news to report about The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D: Put on the cardboard glasses, and you can still see the movie. Despite serving up a yummy-sounding banana split boat to transport its young adventure-seeking cast, it still has that unmistakable cardboard taste. Mike Clark

Film Fodder In Austin, Texas, filmmaker Robert Rodriguez has built himself a studio that can fulfill all of his cinematic needs. An influential proponent of digital cinema, Rodriguez barely has to leave his garage studio to capture the vast dreamlike landscapes he desires, or in the case of his spring hit "Sin City," instant dirty alleyways and crime-ridden streets.
