I still think the only real problem the film had was the Hot Wheels track race courses. The cross-country race was fine but those tracks...
See, I could NEVER get a sense of 'place' with them, no sense of who was ahead, how far to go, etc.
Also, the other cars needed to be a bit more distinct. And only the Car Acrobat Team should have gimmicked cars! Because they're cheaters!
Seriously, the whole 'green stage' thing worked OK for the most part but there were a couple of cases of 'Spy Kids' overkill, too much layering and you could tell the actors weren't quite meshed with it, not enough references for them to work with.
I too am glad, kinda, that there's no more in the works. I could see so much cost-cutting, changing out cast, other crap like that. Blarg. I thought the cast was just about perfect.
