    Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

    if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

    It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

    This show is action packed,funny ,and also awesome.The best episode was the last one,It was kinda of serious some times and funny.When Bree made Leo kick the wall his leg she said something after and I laughed and laughed.But the Spin off series is good but not as good as the original.It is the best show of all time.When they collabed with Mighty Med I was like 2 of my favorite shows combined. The Eiffel Tower fight was the best one,better than when they fought Giselle and Troy. I like they,re one hour specials they are the best episodes.Escepially over the Edge when they almost fell off the bridge but Leo saved them.Leo is my favorite character.He is the funniest.Come and watch a few episodes.WATCH IT!

    Lab Rats is a pretty great show, especially coming from the live action department of Disney. It's my third favorite Disney XD show, preceded by Gravity Falls and Phineas and Ferb.The characters, for the most part are well written. Finally: the stereotypical "strong, tall guy" isn't the bully. And while Adam is fairly unintelligent, he has his moments (ex. in Leo vs Evil he comes up a simple solution when everyone else was trying to over-complicate things). The stereotypical "small, nerdy kid" actually has self esteem, and is able to fight. And Bree, the only girl of the main cast, IS NOT A LOVE INTEREST! Sure, she has crushes, but what girl doesn't, and they are such a small part of the show. Even Tasha, part of the supporting cast, is more of a mother figure than a love interest for Donald. Plus she has a career and is able to manage probably the four most destructive kids in the planet. And Janelle, the love interest whose smart, doesn't put up with crap, and isn't even all that romantic, is a breath of fresh air. You go, girls! I will admit that there are some still very poorly written characters. Trent, for example, is your typical football jock bully. Principal Perry is that typical mean authority figure that everyone hates yet has to put up with (although I do like her in the episode Chip Switch). And Mr. Davenport himself is way too self absorbed (although I still like how he is a legitimate authority figure for the kids).The plot of Lab Rats, which really starts to pick up in Season 2, is great. And I love how some of the first supporting characters you see in season one are seen all the way up into season four (ex Janelle and Principle Perry). (That is one thing that really bothers me about Disney's Kickin' It: Eddie is a main character for the first two seasons, but then he disappears without explanation and everyone else acts like he never even existed.) This show has its fair share of problems, but, all in all, is a pretty great show. If I were showing this to my kids, I would explain why some things shouldn't be tried in real life, and make sure they understand that its portrayal of school is not accurate at all, and then let them enjoy!

    Lab Rats certainly had potential, or at least it sounded kind of cool at first glance, but it's terrible! I put it on for my little brother and we both agreed that if kids are entertained by this show, there must be a stupidity virus going around. The acting was awful, and for the most part the characters are cardboard cutouts of today's typical cell phone-toting, texting addict teens. No one is original in the show, no one has individuality. And come on, Bree? This inventor creates a superpowered human and names her Bree? That name was trendy around the time this show came out, but naming one of the characters Bree was pretty lame. The soundtrack to the show is horrible, unless you're into Hannah Montana-esque pop songs you'll hate listening to the music in this. The title made the show seem much more original than it really is.It's really too bad that this type of garbage (I-Carly, Hannah Montana, etc.) is what kids are exposed to today. And Disney used to do some excellent kid's shows! I remember this 1990's paranormal show they did called So Weird that my sister and I loved when we were kids. I guess the only explanation for why today's shows are so moronic is that Generation Text is easily amused. Kids today can watch a video of an overweight woman falling down the stairs and find it funny. And they're being raised to be morons when they have potential to be really smart people. If you want to show your kids something more modern that still has originality, good acting and individual characters, try The Haunting Hour. It's a horror anthology series from the writer of Goosebumps, but it's more 21st century style and it's written to be appropriate for children.

    Lab Rats is hands-down the most entertaining Disney XD show out there in my opinion. Lab Rats has a great combination of comedy, adventure and superpowers. The name may not do the series justice and might give you know idea on what the series is about. But Lab Rats has an awesome plot.The show is flipping hilarious for a Disney show. The funniest characters to me are Leo(Williams), Dr.Davenport(Sparka) and Eddy(forgot who plays him.). It tells jokes that for once not only little Disney kids can laugh at. Funny moments that are actually clever, not dry and overused.The overall plot is jokes and a seemingly normal sitcom show. The story is based on 13/14 year old Leo Dooley who with his Mom, moves into his new super-rich new Dad's house. He discovers 3 bionic super-human teenagers with bionic superpowers and abilities in his basement. Leo learns to get used to life with his cool bionic friends, his billionaire step-dad and they go on crazy adventures in school, home and when the team goes on missions to save the world.Leo and the Trio get into plenty of silly adventures and try not to get in trouble or reveal their bionic secrets. Adam has super strength, Bree has super speed and Chase has super smarts, the 3 S' of Superpowers! They can also do other things.Leo is young and has no abilities. He's mischievous, clumsy and reckless and useless if not the cause of the problems the gang has many times at first. Nonetheless, Leo is the star of the show and although there are very very few scenarios in which he provides anything useful in combat, he's the one that holds the story in place and matures over the story until he becomes part of the group and eventually the guardian of Adam, Bree and Chase when his step-dad Dr.Davenport is absent. He teaches the "Lab Rats" to have normal lives as regular teenagers and have fun, but tries to keep the out of trouble at times. They save one another's lives at different points in the show.The plot in most of season 1 is funny and entertaining, but season 2 is when it gets much more serious. They make enemies and meet foes who seem nice but aren't who they appear to be. The Lab Rats discover more about their past and about their abilities in hope to master them. They struggle between normal life and saving the world.So overall this show has a great plot, decent comedy and plenty of superpowers and action! It's a show that signals much-needed change in Disney shows. It's not perfect, but there are bound to be a few bad jokes here and there, they can't all be winners. Unfortunately, the show is in some ways, low-budget which is demonstrated mostly in scenes with special effects. Overall, it comes down to judging this show with all things considered. And all things considered, it is a Disney XD show. Any issues that might be considered major defects in the score are issues every single last one Disney Sitcom has, being why I grant this show a 10/10!
