Summary: Typical bad sequel
Review: This is one of those sequels, where the screen writers take all the parts of the first movie that they thought were great, and exaggerate them in the second. Unfortunately, they obviously didn't understand what made the first movie good.

Double the gadgets: Totally unrealistic gadgets that defy common sense, like a pocket-sized gizmo that unfolds into a control center complete with computers and monitors.

Double the gags: Same old lines with very little twist.

Double the the Parents: Look out for the geriatric grandma and grandpa spies

Minus the plot! Wafer thin. Bring you magnifying glass.

If you chained me into a seat in the theatre, I would gnaw my arm off to escape seeing this again. Even my kids were bored.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Get lost
Review: I loved the first Spy Kids. I loved it. So I was very excited to go see the second installment. Was I ever wrong! I'd just like to say that this one is completely over-the-top and hokey. Yes, special effects up the kazoo, but they're all very laughable. Spy Kids 2 was an enormous production, but it took everything skeptical from the first and magnified it twenty or so times. It's one of those movies that DEMANDS you pay attention and like it. The thing I hated most about this movie is the embarrassment I felt walking out of the theatre. Look, if you're older than fifteen you probably aren't going to enjoy it that much. But the little ones will like it. Hence the KIDS in Spy Kids.

And both Carmen and Juni head out to get it back and sent the Giggles who was hired to retirve the gaget lost. And now it looks like it up to Gregorio (Antonio Banderas) and Ingrid (Carla Gugino) to save thier kids.... I reccomened you to watch Spy Kids...

Summary: Spy Kids 1 put through a blender
Review: Spy Kids One featured a "real" but fantastical family - sibling rivalry, parents who love their kids but keep things from them - and used "spy" technology in an amusing light-hearted way to propel the spy story.

Spy Kids Two uses every bit of technology in the book but the family story at the heart of One gets turned into a joke. At different points in the movie it appears to be about: a rivalry between the Spy Kids and a snotty rival pair of brother-sister spies; a wicked double-dealing head of their spy agency who must be stopped; an island hidden from view by a weird technological innovation; nosy grandparents that don't think their grandkids are being raised properly; a mad scientist afraid to go outside; hybrid monster animals (a monkey/spider/centaur combo) run amok; spooky cursed ruins guarded by by animated skeletons, yada yada yada. It had the air of "ohmigod this part is boring let's put some new monster in it."

If you go out to go to the bathroom, or to get some popcorn, the movie will be about something else when you come back.

In fairness I must say my 8-year-old son liked it, but it was not half as good a story as the first one. Wait for the video unless it's a rainy afternoon and your kids are threatening you. And then - rent it but don't buy it.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: 2 Times the Fun
Review: Took my 6 year old grandson, he was either on the edge of his seat (not squirming) or laughing the entire time. Cameo appearances of all the original characters made the movie more fun to watch and recall the original. Several huge laughs, lot's of humor. If you liked the first, 2 is equal or better

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A big step down.
Review: ... Seeing as how the first installment was somewhat entertaining, I was thinking this would be nearly as good. Whoa, was I wrong. There were really no redeeming qualities to this movie, whatsoever, although Steve Buscemi is as entertaining as usual. Between the wooden acting, terrible editing and absolutely inane dialogue, this dog seemed to drag on much longer than the published run time.

Banderas and Gugnio seem to be almost embarassed when delivering their lines, and, although the child actors seem to hold some talent, the situations they are put in and the weak writing give them no chance to deliver ...

I must say, I've been to a dozen or so kids' movies over the last couple of years, and this is the first time the theater has been absolutely silent. A typical kids' movie features cheers, commentary and laughter by the audience ... Honestly, I think that I heard a total of one (1) child make a peep during this movie. Lines that were delivered for an obvious laugh were met with silence ...
