"I highly recommend this movie if you enjoy sci-fi, marvel, adventure, any Disney Channel original movie with a twist, Spy Kids, Zoom, Sky High, Herbie, Speed Racer, or if you just think a group of superheroes without powers but instead incredible machinery and space ships to help save people in danger is cool.
I really do love this movie. From the opening credit sequence (which is incredibly hard to accomplish) to the final moment, I'm entertained. It's well made, the scenery is astounding (honestly I am constantly blown away by the detail), the machines and vehicles are so cool, the acting is fun, but I adore this story. You'll find yourself intrigued and constantly waiting for more. There's action, comedy, and adventure. Honestly, I'm surprised it's so underrated. It's truly one of a kind.
They even got the bridge in London to open for a shot which hadn't been done in years. Which just shows the effort they truly put in to making every shot absolutely incredible. That much is clear.
I wish there was a sequel. I always keep two copies of this movie with me. One at home and one for traveling. The fact I always have to have a version with me says a lot. I may not always watch it, but when I do, I truly enjoy it. Vanessa Hudgens is in it too. Along with Ben Kingsley.
Wow you made it this far. Well I'm here to warn you it's not perfect by any means. Some moments are just cringey but they're few and far between (you'll notice them though). Mostly its the henchmen of the villain. While the villain is intimidating and intriguing, the henchmen are just weird and awkward. Truly, I don't vouch for any moment with only them. They're good for what they are, I just hate watching them. The Hood makes up for it though. At the end, I have no idea why Lady Penelope had to change her outfit to the most obnoxious & hard to move in pink atrocity but she does.
Other than that really this movie is great. The ending is satisfying for every other character too. Absolutely wonderful."
