6
7!This review contains examples of:
8* ActingForTwo: Or rather, acting for ''three'', as Malcolm plays the 3-D Brothers, Distracting, Dignified and Doesn't Count.
9* BigNo: The Critic's reaction when he thought he's going to review ''Film/FridayThe13thPartIII'', followed by an even worse reception to the fact that he's actually going to review this film.
10* {{Emo}}: "Doesn't Count", in contrast to refined "Dignified" and obnoxious "Distracting", is brooding, wears the stereotypical haircut, and spends time by himself listening to his smartphone.
11* LamePunReaction: NC punishes the movie for making a joke involving a character named Rez and Juni saying "Hi, Rez" by having it go in the corner with Doesn't Count.
12* MeaningfulName: The 3D Brothers' names represent the application of 3D movies: "Dignified" represents legitimately good films such as ''Film/{{Hugo}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'', "Doesn't Count" for overly-serious yet poorly-received films such as ''Film/{{Clash of the Titans|2010}}'' and ''Film/TheLastAirbender'', and "Distracting" for such TrilogyCreep movies [[ThirdIs3D given the 3D upgrade]] as ''Film/Jaws3D'', ''Film/FridayThe13thPartIII 3D'', and this film.
13* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: The Critic introduces the ''Film/SpyKids'' series as a "trilogy-plus-one", alluding to the even worse-received ''[[Film/SpyKidsAllTheTimeInTheWorld All the Time in the World]]'' from 2011, eight years after ''Game Over''.
14* NoJustNoReaction: The Critic objects to the robot with The Toymaker and Valentin breaking apart, yet somehow they get out without a scratch:
15-->"No. Just no. WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians of no. Yeah, let's see. Ricardo's right here, and Stallone's here... there's no way. Dead instantly. Their bones would be dice in a Yahtzee cup; you wouldn't even recognize their remains."
16* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The Critic prefers to call Carmen and Juni "Girl Spy Kid" and "Boy Spy Kid", respectively.
17* RunningGag: The "[[ToiletHumor Camel poop!]]" line from ''Film/SpyKids2IslandOfLostDreams''.
18* {{Sequelitis}}: [[InUniverse The Critic's main complaint]] about the ''Spy Kids'' series.
19* SubvertedCatchphrase: The Critic's opening lines are interrupted by the 3-D Brothers: Distracting, Dignified and Doesn't Count (all played by Malcolm).
20* TakeThat:
21** The Critic claims the film's exploitation of 3-D filming for gimmicks is much worse than Pure Flix exploiting the topic of God (in such preachy films as ''Film/GodsNotDead'').
22** When he finds out that the Toymaker "wants to enslave the world's youth with mind control" with his video game, he says, "Please, I think we've all purchased [[Creator/ElectronicArts EA]] games before."
23** When Juni enters the robot fighting arena, he calls it "even lamer than ''VideoGame/PokemonStadium''." [[DudeNotFunny He then gets booed]] and says "Oh, yes, ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' fans! [[TakeThatAudience Bring me your comments of anger! They nourish me!]]"
24* WhatTheHellHero: The Critic laments that he has to do [[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS8E11 another]] scathing review of a film by Creator/RobertRodriguez, whom he otherwise praises as one of the coolest directors alive.
25* WorthIt: NC puts himself in the corner for [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal painfully pushed puns]] after the previous LamePunReaction after making a "''[[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan KHAAAN!!!]]''" joke.
