One of my all time favorites.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Like I said the only thing stopping me from giving this a 4/10 is nostalgia. It really brings back memories watching this. CGI is pretty bad, but what do you expect from a kids movie. I really did like the creatures in this movie. Kids and Adults will like this movie. It's pretty entertaining just don't expect anything mind-blowing. Considering this is a sequel it does make sense that this wouldn't be as fresh as the first. The acting is pretty cringe-worthy at points; mostly with the scientist character. He played it a little too over the top. But kids will think he is hilarious while adults will laugh at how bad it is.

Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams is a sequel to Spy Kids and a family fantasy adventure movie by Robert Rodriguez that tells more adventures of Carmen and Juni Cortez.It stars Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara as Carmen and Juni respectively together with Antonio Banderas, Carla Gugino,Ricardo Montalbán and Steve Buscemi. The second installment of Spy Kids was definitely another joyous family adventure.Despite the fact that it has a limited production money,it looked like a big production movie with its visual effects.Also,it has also become more creative and charismatic making it more entertaining as compared to the original despite the fact that it is no longer a fresh concept to the viewers.Overall,it manages not to fall into the trap of what most sequels become - a mediocre film - as it can be comparable to the first film.

As the story begins, Juni and Carmen Cortez are agents on the rise in the new Spy Kids division of the OSS. Despite all of their skills and accomplishments, they're denied a promotion in the agency as a result of blatant nepotism. Still determined to make their mark—and more importantly to upstage a pair of rival agents—they intervene in a mission to travel to a mysterious island and retrieve a sophisticated thingamajig that could be a potent threat if it falls into the wrong hands. Engaging sequel is far less cheesy than its predecessor, has a much better story, and lots of imaginative visual effects accompanied by exciting, cliffhanger action scenes. Overlong, and still corny at times, but has just enough ingredients to entertain all audiences. ***

I have seen some bad movies, but this has to be in the top 5. The Special effects were the worst I have ever seen (recently), and the acting is even worse. I think a 10 year old could have wrote a better script. Like 80% of the movie looked like it was a green screen. The only movie worse than this is Jaws: The Revenge. I think you should avoid this movie. I would rather watch jaws 3 than have to watch this movie again. The original was a okay movie, but this movie is not worth your time. the fight scenes are the worst I have ever scene. The jokes fell flat every time. I can not think of one good thing about this movie. Avoid this movie.
