It feels like this movie was made for (Hispanic?) tweens but with a $104 million budget that's a pretty narrow audience to target. It's a comedic superhero movie but the plot and comedy are so formulaic that there aren't any surprises or laughs for adults.
Oh that crazy nana, it turns out she's actually a kick @ss revolutionary, can you imagine?! Haha! And the nutty uncle who also happens to be a genius hacker, sometimes he has to give his tech a swift kick to get it powered up, haha! And what about that beautiful and misunderstood rich girl who's falling for the poor but handsome unwilling superhero? Never saw that coming, and what a surprise their first kiss gets interrupted by crazy Tio bursting into the room, haha!
Also I love Susan Sarandon but she is terribly miscast as a villain and I just couldn't take her seriously, while at the same time she wasn't given any material to make her funny either. She's just saying straight up cliche villain lines that fall completely flat.
In summary if you have a 9 to 12 year old son he might like this movie (despite the PG-13 rating) but otherwise it's a swing and miss.
