Is it that bad? No, not at all. In fact, as a kids film it is above average. There are good films in all categories and this is a very outstanding one in its.
First, it's a good family comedy. Surely parents will have a good time with their kids watching this. It is a nice little family film with a nice plot and there is something to learn from as well.
Compared to the Spy Kids series, this lacks action and effects. But it makes up for that with an unpredictable plot, and I like that very much. The story development is smooth and the acting is good.
Towards the climax in the end it gets pretty intense and there are quite some unexpected twists.
To conclude, this is really an enjoyable piece of family comedy.

The plot is fine. There are fun elements and the story is complete, though there are not really any big surprises. For those of you who do not know, this is a film about a weak kid who gets bullied at school and he encounters a robot suit from outer space that he can fit into and become "strong".
The acting is fine. Both the young and the adult actors delivered fine performances.
The special effects look quite cheap. It is probably a problem originated from the budget.
It gets more and more boring towards the end, and the climax is not at all rewarding. The ending is far too cheesy.
The look of the robot does not really impress me. It is sort of creepy for me. I would go with better design.
Still, it is a good family film for a Sunday afternoon if all you are looking forward to is some robot fun and nothing more. I am sure this film has done enough to impress the kids.
