Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams Movie Reviews

What went wrong,…..?

I enjoyed the first Spykids movie MUCH more than I thought I would, as it turned out to be a film that had appeal to BOTH kids and the parents forced to accompany them to the movies. It was well-written and innovative.

So what went SO wrong with THIS movie??!! Completely lost was all the charm of the first. Instead of naive agents who SOMEHOW defeat evil, the once-cute kids are now James Bond Juniors with super gadgets and powers!!! And, to make things worse, the movie is even more special effects drenched than the first. It’s a total mess with unlikeable characters, a muddled plot and hackneyed writing. Adults or anyone with an IQ larger than their shoe size should stay away at all costs! If you LIKED seeing a good film followed up by a HORRIBLE sequel, you might also try watching Babe: Pig in the City. Somehow it manages to make an even better original movie and transform it into an even more unwatchable sequel! Only masochists should watch!

Fun sequel that does live up to its predecessor

I think this sequel is a lot of fun, not quite as good or as innovative as its predecessor but a major step up from Spy Kids 3D:Game Over, which had potential but was surprisingly mediocre. For me, Spy Kids 2:Island of Lost Dreams’s only problems were the slow beginning and sometimes the plot was a little disjointed. But what does save it are some good laughs, some really cool gadgets and special effects and the spirited acting. And what really made it work was the chemistry between Daryl Sabarra and Alexa Vega, both are tremendous fun on screen and have excellent chemistry together. And while a tad irrelevant to the story, they perform a cute and fun song together during the end credits. The direction is tight and assured, the script is witty and funny and the film skips along effortlessly. This is a sequel worth watching, maybe not quite as good as its original, but it is fun to watch. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Really Fun

Another winner in Robert Rodriguez’ budding `Spy Kids’ franchise, equally as good as the first and showing real potential for the future. Rodriguez is perhaps the only filmmaker of kids’ movies that seems to actually listen to what kids want and in the process delivers something every family member can indulge in–it’s as delicious as chocolate, with plenty of giggles aimed at the seven to ten crowd and dazzling ideas and humor that parents can appreciate. Rodriguez has an extremely fertile imagination and while his visuals sometimes can’t keep up (the digital effects are an occasional letdown) the concepts themselves are so ambitious and delightful that it’s easy to look past the brief technological shortcomings. As in the first film, there are plenty of references to family films of the past (most notably `Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory’ and the stop-action animation of Ray Harryhausen) and the overall design of both films is very similar. (Rodriguez seems to prefer shooting at twilight, giving everything an orange hue.) But it does seem more expansive, perhaps because he’s creative enough to incorporate welcome new characters, such as the kids’ grandparents (played with relish by Ricardo Montalban and Holland Taylor) and another brother-sister spy team (Emily Osment and Disney Channel favorite Matthew O’Leary) as well as fresh retakes on characters from the first film (Steve Buscemi takes on the Alan Cumming role). Rodriguez’ screenplay once again takes on the theme of family but this time it’s carried poignantly throughout (it got dropped rather quickly in `Spy Kids’) and the result, coupled with his extraordinary vision, is a film that will thoroughly satisfy just about everyone.
