Absolutely the worst movie.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
I think Spy Kids is quite a good film. It is a bit silly, but that's not always a bad thing. It's has a good cast and a good storyline and quite a few good laughs. It's a good adventure film and I'd recommend it.
When I saw this movie, I immediately was pulled in and obsessed. The trailers made the movie look bad, so I decided, no I shouldn't see it. Then on rotten tomatoes, I saw 93% which is a great amount. I decided to see it, and I loved it. For anyone who is uncertain about seeing this movie, go for it. It is an original, unexpected journey, that you can see repeatedly, and will not get bored. I think the best part of this movie is... the storyline, and the acting. Outstanding roles from Alexa Vega, Daryl Sabara (Carmen and Juny), and any other actor/actress in the movie. I recommend any parents to go take there kids to this movie.After all, Spy Kids is an original, first one out of the package piece of paper that sucks you in, making you stare at the drawing all day.
I thought Spy Kids was a pretty cool movie to watch. I did not expect much of it at first but I'm glad I saw it because I really enjoyed it. This was not the bad movie that I had anticipated. I even liked the sequel to this movie.This is about very young spies who are on a mission to save the United States, of course.The cast is pretty much an all-star cast. The spies played by Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara are pretty good. The parents played by Antonio Banderas and Carlos Gugino are wonderful.Overall, this is a good piece of work. I also like to mention that some of these gadgets are cool. I rate this film 8/10.
Forget about discovering that your parents were a pair of weirdo wizards (yawn!): in Spy Kids, Carmen Cortez (Alexa Vega) and her younger brother Juni (Daryl Sabara) find out that their mum and dad are ex-secret agents, which is a whole lot cooler in my book (I guess being raised on James Bond films might have affected my opinion somewhat). This means that when Mr and Mrs Cortez (suave Antonio Banderas and yummy Carla Gugino) are captured by criminals intent on taking over the world with an army of robot children, it's up to the kids to save the day, equipped with all sorts of ultra-cool, high-tech gadgetry supplied by their uncle Machete (Danny Trejo).Pure, unadulterated slam-bang craziness from the warped mind of Robert Rodriguez, Spy Kids is cool, action packed fun for the whole family —perfect entertainment for a rainy Sunday afternoon on the sofa with the children. There's constant kiddy-centric action loaded with inventive visuals, weird creatures and snazzy special effects galore, guaranteed to keep the sprogs glued to the screen from start to finish, whilst easy-on-the-eye couple Banderas and Gugino are there to give the adults something to get excited about too.
