We Can Be Heroes Ratings & Reviews
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
A sort of sequel to "The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl," this film gives kids exactly what they want. Adults? Not so much.
Cambridge Day
Tom Meek
Totally hokey, with a 1970s Saturday morning vibe; a serviceable entertainment for the wee crowd, but likely a one-off watch.
But Why Tho?
Kate Sánchez
While the film's theme is extremely upfront, it meets children where they are and aims to empower them. We Can Be Heroes is a heartfelt letter about the future that aims to be inspiring.
IGN Movies
Rafael Motamayor
We Can Be Heroes is a cheerful and colorful take on the superhero genre with a powerful message about empowering younger generations to take the reins and do better than their parents.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
This was clearly made for kids, not critics, and the design and action are vibrant enough to divert them. Rodriguez is well-versed in superhero tropes for parents who can appreciate comic-book satire.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
The get-a-load-of-this facetiousness of "We Can Be Heroes" feels a bit rote, like the child-lite version of a "Men in Black" escapade crossed with wisps of nostalgia for "The Goonies."
Kristen Maldonado

It has that classic Robert Rodriguez vibe... This was really fun, it definitely checks off that nostalgia box.
Austin Burke/Flick Fan Nation

We Can Be Heroes may be a bit much for adults, but kids will appreciate the moments and messages.
North Shore Movies
Daniel M. Kimmel
A Christmas present for superhero fans who measure their ages in single digits, although the rest of the family may enjoy it as well.
Mama's Geeky
Tessa Smith
This action-packed movie teaches kids, and adults, positive lessons like embracing who you are, working together as a team, & anyone can be hero - no matter their size!
Decider
Joel Keller
Can he hokey at times, but it's a fun superhero move for both kids and their parents, with good action scenes and decent special effects.
CBR
Josh Bell
At least the Rodriguez family had fun.
AV Club
Jesse Hassenger
But while he can generate countless environments from his Austin studio, the camerawork on these projects, constrained and uninspired, hints at their single-room origins.
Polygon
Petrana Radulovic
We Can Be Heroes is a rarity: A kids movie actually made for kids, bringing what was special about Spy Kids to a new generation, and a complete delight on its own.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Though aimed at a young audience, this is one of those superhero adventures that will keep the adults entertained as well.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
This thing doesn't just feel like it was made for kids, but also like it was made by kids, and it doesn't take long for the "fridge art" visuals to become part of the film's charm.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
In the fun fantasy world of Robert Rodriguez, there's no better way to bring families together than by saving the world.
Film Festival Today
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
By the end, I was in need of a dentist, but the syrup should make many happy, especially the young. It's their show; let them enjoy.
The Only Critic
Nate Adams
Far from heroic.
RogerEbert.com
Carlos Aguilar
Rodriguez pokes fun at trite tropes and delivers on the action (often also lacing the fights with humor), but always with an earnest message on how adults, set in their stubborn ways, don't always know best.
