This movie makes no sense- at least, not in the linear, neat, tidy, world of adulthood. But, it captures the messy, gritty, disjointed, weird, raw, non-linear, funky, wild, whimsical, internally inconsistent world of true childhood fantasy better than any film... Full review

I recall that film, and without any pleasure I might add, because while Rodriguez has left that franchise behind, he has not, apparently, lost his fascination for 3-D. There is much more of it in ADVENTURES than in GAME OVER, but it's a gimmick that only adds to the general irritation inspired by the film, what with all the fumbling with the elastic that secures the 3-D glasses and, of, course, the way the slide around in one's lap between prompts to put them back on. ...
