Summary: Very Latino Orientated
Review: This movie I appreciated very much. I was very happy to see that Robert Rodriguex created something Latino youth can look up to. I loved it that all of the good guys were all Latinos. I wished I had something like this while i was growing up; I'm glad my daughter does.

Summary: One of my favorite movies of the year, but...
Review: This was one of my favorite movies of the year. It was an extremely well crafted kid's movie. It seemed to be made completely with kids in mind. Some jokes may not be funny to adults, but adults should still be able to respect the movie's craft for putting them in for the kids. I've heard many children say this was their favorite movie of the year. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because the DVD is not the Special Edition. The special edition was released in theaters August 8th I beleive. It only added one scene, in fact they only reprinted the last reel of the movie. Theaters got old copies of the movie except for the last reel. I loved the special edition though, it was worth seeing for the new scene, which was always inteded to be in the movie, but couldnt be completed due to lack of budget for the effects, until the movie was a hit and they could afford it. I'm not buying the DVD until a special edition is released, hopefully with commentary by Rodriguez. The new scene definately added another clever bit to the movie. They are in a cave full of sleeping sharks, and Juni has to pee badly, but Carmen warns him that sharks can only sleep where chemical levels are right in the water, and if he pees, it will wake them up. I want to own this movie on dvd badly, but it will just bug me to not see that scene every time i watch it, because it belongs there. Kids will still love the movie, I did before the special edition, but now it seems like that is the real edition, and the original is missing something.

Summary: An Amazingly Good Flick
Review: OK, if you are adult who either has or knows small kids, you have trudged off countless times to movie theaters to see a seemingly endless number of mediocre or bad children's films, usually not daring to hope for a genuinely good movie, usually at most praying for a bearable one. I went to see SPY KIDS with a three-year-old boy and his mother, and I am delighted to report that I think I enjoyed the film every bit as much as he did.The film was directed and scripted by Robert Rodriguez, whose first film, EL MARIACHI was one of the most promising independent film debuts of all time. The movie displays enormous creativity, invention, humor, and imagination. It is also a visual delight, easily one of the most visually arresting films I have ever seen, and competes with BABE and WHAT DREAMS MAY COME for the most pleasantly colorful film I have ever seen. The Art Direction was just splendid, and I will be very much surprised if, when they announce the nominations for the Oscars next year, SPY KIDS isn't nominated in that category. Several of the actors did a fine job in this one, but my favorite might have been Alan Cumming. I am intrigued by actors who can play either sinister and scheming characters or sympathetic and likable ones. In his career, Cumming has been the former far more often than the latter (see CIRCLE OF FRIENDS and GOLDENEYE for the former, and ROMY AND MICHELE'S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION for the latter). In this film he gets to be both. So, for those of you with small kids who need a movie to see, you won't do better than SPY KIDS. And if you don't have any kids to go see flicks with, see it anyway!

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: Okay, i should give it 5 stars, but i sort of think that this is the most appropiate rating, "Spy Kids", is filled with imagination, action, cleverness, and wonderful acting, i didn't wanted the film, to end, also the film has a lot of hispanic references, since i am from Mexico, this felt a lot to me, in a sort of Telemundo way, also i hope that the DVD, has a DTS track, also the film is very clean, it dosen't have any crude humour, even though i liked "See Spot Run", this one was way better, i gived the other film ***1/2, so, there is going to be a sequel, not a bad idea, CHECK OUT THE INTERNET MOVIE DATABASE FOR MORE INFO!

Summary: I went to see Antonio Banderas, charmed by entire movie!
Review: What kid wouldn't like to find out that their "boring" parents are really secret spies? That's the premise of this movie and I thought my kids would like it although I'll admit I went knowing that I could stay awake looking at Antonio Banderas (a hunk if there ever was one!). But I was surprisingly entertained and charmed by the entire movie and found the child actors in this one nearly stole the show from Banderas. Unlike so many patronizing or just plain silly kids' movies, this one had wit, heart and a strong plot - and plenty of humor, too. I'm looking forward to owning this one on DVD when it comes out. A movie ilke this could become a family classic.

Summary: Good Feelings Of Happy Childhood Times
Review: There's not many movies of this day and time that give you that "good-time-child-like-feeling' as the Spy Kids Movie did. I want to see it again and again. I didn't know what I expected to see, but I was pleasantly surprised all through the movie. I thought it was inviting, intriguing, and exciting...and above all I love the message they gave at the end of the movie which sums up alot, especially of what children want, if you have an ear to hear. I think this is a movie for 'all ages', I am almost 46 years old with a childlike heart, and a great imagination too, and I enJOYed Spy Kids just as much or more than my 8 year old son, and 11 year old daughter did:) I don't know why it's being re-released, but I HOPE they didn't remove anything good from the original. We will definitely see it at the movies again, and even though we don't buy many movies anymore, we will buy this one:)

Summary: Delightful!
Review: A good film for children is, invariably, a good film for adults. This is a charming and imaginative film, good-natured and hugely entertaining--particularly the brilliant Scottish actor Alan Cumming as a whacky villain. Even Antonio Banderas turns in a good performance, controlled and charming. Cool gizmos and gadgets, a pair of likeable, bickering kids, and some great special effects all combine to make this a most enjoyable film. Highly recommended.

Summary: Okay this wasn't what I expected.
Review: When the movie was starting I thought, okay, this is going to be good. Those molded wierd creatures were... well way too wierd. The humor was meant for kids at least under 12 yrs old. Because to me, most of the jokes weren't that funny. If your kids have big ,out there imaginations, they probably won't mind the weird plot,and will probably like this movie. If you're over 12 you might not find the jokes, or the plot that entertaining. You decide.
