Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

Vaughan A Davies (brutalkid1997) the effects are cheap and unrealistic,the acting is so over the top i wanted to stop watching but i had to write a review on something so this movie is what i picked and its a massive stinker. the kids pulled in okay performance apart from the little girl Gerti Giggles ( Emily Osment) who won best young performer but i thought OVERRATED MOVIE AND ACTORS. this movie made more money then they had.the movie was awful the editor had to take bad acting like that and try to fix it.yet it did not work. this movie looks cheap, poorly made and i do not know how it got positive reviews this movie was worst then the cat in the hat. Why were the critics so dumb that they like this movie.this truly is the Worst Kids movie of the decade. This is the most awful kids movie ever 2/10

Michele I have only just seen this movie, having borrowed the DVD from the library. The first thing I noticed when watching the movie was the excellent picture quality - it was 'filmed' in High Definition. Apart from really enjoying the plot of the movie, which I won't re-iterate here, (I haven't seen Spy Kids 1 or 3), I found the audio commentary on the DVD by Robert Rodriguez, fantastic. What a talented and imaginative man Robert Rodriguez is. RR went into a lot of detail about the making of the film but I also found that a lot of his comments are also appropriate in many other areas of ones life, and they don't only relate to the movie industry.The DVD contains a lot of extra special features and I found them most interesting. The movie was excellently cast and it was great to see Ricardo Montalban. Both he and Antonio Banderas were perfect for their roles.In summary it was a really enjoyable movie and I loved the subtle humor that occurred throughout. The DVD's special features are superb.

The_Void Seeing Spy Kids 2 probably wasn't a very good idea for me, having not seen Spy Kids 1; but, well, I had nothing better to do. I do, however, almost wish I hadn't seen this film - as I have enormous respect for director Robert Rodriguez, and excluding the Spy Kids films; have been impressed with almost everything that the man has turned his hand to. While this film definitely shows Rodriguez's flair (the same flair which has made the rest of his films so enjoyable), Spy Kids 2 is hard to like simply because it's just so STUPID. I realise it's a kids film and I shouldn't really be watching it - but as hard as I try to think of a reason why there would be a 'Spy Kids' organisation, I just can't come up with a plausible reason. The film is also really patronising, and it's a good job, therefore, that it's aimed at such a young audience because any other group of people would surely see through the obvious ploys to get the audience to like the film. Aside from all the gadgets that the two kids have got; there isn't a lot to this movie.Rodriguez has done the neat little trick that he did with From Dusk Till Dawn and the latter two 'Mexico' films (not to mention Sin City), in that he's gathered up a bunch of 'names' to appear in the movie. Aside from Antonio Bandaras and Carla Gugino, the film also has smaller roles for the likes of Bill Paxton, Cheech Marin, Steve Buscemi, Alan Cumming and Danny Trejo. Of course, the main acting plaudits have to go to the two child stars, Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara, who aren't brilliant; but get to have a lot of fun spying and stuff. The side of the film that really lets it down is the special effects. The CGI is so bad that after a while, I actually started to think that it's bad on purpose. There's just absolutely no way that this is the best that the effects department could do. On the whole, this film isn't really meant to be taken seriously. I imagine a lot of kids will enjoy Spy Kids 2; but I didn't like it all that much. It sure beats being bored...but I felt like I was being talked down to all the way through, and that coupled with the rubbish effects and numerous ridiculous sequences make me give the film a thumbs down.
