November 6, 2011A marginal improvement on its predecessor but its still lacking any charm and like the first it isn't that exciting

August 26, 2011as good as the first if not slightly better. the monsters were a fun touch, and the furthering of the OSS storyline with the kids division was fun as well. cheesy, but fun to watch with the kids.

Given the appeal of his first movie, Rodriguez had a big act to follow. Spy Kids ' progeny, though slightly lacking in the warmth of the first, should no doubt please audiences. Full Review

With Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams, the Spy Kids franchise establishes itself as a durable part of the movie landscape: a James Bond series for kids. Full Review

There's enough here to keep the sequel rocking, providing you can leave the adult in you at the door.
