LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Sancy Jeg In this story a sixteen year old boy who is also a CIA, Cody is now on another mission. He have to save everyone with his new friends Derek and Emily. I think this movie was not so good as the first part. Anyway I liked it a little bit. I suggest this movie to all to watch it. I think everyone should go for it. It is good for one time watch.
Jackson Booth-Millard The first film was quite a kiddie spoof, or tribute almost, to James Bond, unfortunately, this sequel, even in James Bond's country, isn't as good. Basically Cody Banks (Malcolm in the Middle's Frankie Muniz) this time poses as a gifted cello playing pupil to attend a music school, and at the same time foil some bad guys who are creating some mind control chips. Joining Cody is less experienced Derek Bowman (Scary Movie 3 & 4's Anthony Anderson), and Scotland Yard counterpart Emily Sommers (S Club 7's Hannah Spearritt), and they go against rogue agent, now bad guy Victor Diaz (Keith Allen). That's really all I can say about the story, it really isn't that memorable. Also starring Cynthia Stevenson as Mrs. Banks, Daniel Roebuck as Mr. Banks, Four Weddings and a Funeral's Anna Chancellor as Lady Josephine Kenworth, Bridget Jones's Diary's James Faulkner as Lord Duncan Kenworth, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory's David Kelly as Trival, Paul Kaye, aka Dennis Pennis as Neville Trubshaw, The Fast Show's Mark Williams as Inspector Crescent, Volcano's Keith David as CIA Director and James Dreyfus as Gordon. It may be in London (in my home country), Anderson may add some needed humour, the gadgets and special effects aren't as cool as before, and Muniz doesn't really do as well as he did previously, all in all, more for the kids who enjoyed the first one. Adequate!
disdressed12 talk about disappointing.this sequel has none of the heart of the original.the first one was silly,but at least it had a semblance of story,and the laughs were honest.here,it's all about the cheap laughs.this movie is slow and boring,with a lame story.if it didn't go direct to video,it should have.Anthony Anderson is in this one,and he can usually be counted on for some good laughs,but he has nothing to work with here.this is case where they should just have stuck with the original,or at least put some more thought into the sequel.it feels rushed,but then it was,considering it came out merely a year later than the first one.Agent Cody Banks 2:Destination London gets a 4/10 from me.
BobSongs007 Seems quite a few people have given this film a bad rap. Well, let's take a different look at it.My younger children, my wife and I watched this film and enjoyed it. We recently rented the first Cody Banks flick. We didn't preview it but there were some scenes in it that were disturbing to our smaller children. This wasn't the case with Cody Banks 2. It puzzles me why this movie got such a low rating.(Film rating is a bit of a beef of mine. Movies today have so many different aspects to consider: Score, Content, Character Development, Pacing, Editing, etc. And 1 star is so unfair.)I gave a higher rating because this film was toned down from the original. The childish tone was intentional to contrast it with the very "mature" feel of the first movie. It's more like a family Disney movie: The violence is stylized with humor that's better understood by children. The score is very playful throughout.The camera work is fine and the plot is something younger children can understand and appreciate. Hey: it's really a spy comedy.My wife and I felt it was an all round better film than the first. We recommend it for families that watch films together. Rent it before you buy.
