Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

boydmatta An early Hollywood cash-grab, clearly riding of the success and cult surrounding the original Spy Kids trilogy. Lost all the charm the originals had, and the surprisingly good child actors of the first 3 films, have been replaced by the blatantly terrible child actors in this one. The humour went from quite witty, with some elements for adults too; to the expected toilet-humour you get from and lazy kids film. The beauty of the originals, was that they weren't rated 'U' for kids, they were 'U' for everyone. Anyone could watch the originals, whereas this can only be watched by children not smart enough to understand why they're seeing.

studioAT Although it wasn't any good the 3rd 'Spy Kids' film at least wrapped the story up. It's surprising then that the director decided to go back and revisit the franchise with this sequel/reboot, that didn't really go down well with the public.The main draw for me was seeing the original 'Spy Kids' (Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara) all grown up, and it was nice to see them assisting the new generation in a pass the torch way.Unfortunately the plot isn't strong enough, and the new 'Spy Kids' aren't half as endearing. Jeremy Piven chews scenery in his role, and the less said about Ricky Gervais as a talking dog the better.This film was perhaps meant to start a new series, but it ended up being an odd final outing for the franchise.

Atomic_Peace This is arguably the worst film that Showtime currently has to offer, so far.I don't know about you, but I was raised on the Spy Kid films, I loved the first one, it introduced me to a brand of films: the slapstick Three Stooge-Esq animation and action captured my attention as a small child, and this was even before I had a conception of what good acting was, truly, if you place a child in front of a monitor and put such a laughable film like this on, they'll think these are real people sadly. But, if you plop it front of them 10 years later, they're going to be laughing like a pack of hyenas, not at the jokes, but the story and acting.  Now that I am in my teens, I have a good conception of what a good movie is, and what a bad movie is, and I can say with pride; that this, Is the Worst Film 2011.  A few weeks-ago, I put the original trilogy on, because I hadn't watched it in a while, and I can still say that the movies still holds up, even after the 10 year gap of not watching them, they still manage a smile to my face, not out of stupidly, but because of the jokes and characters, (not to mention that they are one of many childhood gemstones of mine.)  This morning I was surfing Showtime and saw this listed, with no mind to the universal panning by critics, I put it on, because I'm one of those guys who, if I start something, I gotta finish it, and oh, my. Am I regretting that decision.  There are so many problems with this movie, that I could actually list them.  1) Jessica Alba, she is still acting 2) The kids in the movie are extremely annoying 3) The acting is just... terrible. 4) In the beginning of the movie, Jessica Alba's character is on mission during pregnancy. This is a recurring joke in the movie, in which while she fights crime, she has her toddler in a baby holster.  The extremely slow paced film soon becomes an bother of the viewer,to the the point where I checked the clock, what felt like 50 minutes, was a mere 20. If a film goes that far down the cutting room floor, I am forced to give the film, a: Negative 10.5 Ticket Stub out 10 Tickets.  A Note to Parents: if your kids ever misbehave, put this on, it Will scare them back into line.

Steve Johnson I have to say, it really deserves a negative 99. Now, I absolutely loved the trilogy of the Spy Kids movies. I was sad it was done, and wanted a 4th and 5th and so on. But when I saw this, I was outraged about how stupid this was. Now, since Robert Rodriguez is done directing good movies, I wish this movie never happened. This just absolutely downgraded the whole Spy Kids franchise. I hated this movie. Oh, and the 4D was just annoying. One time, a kid farts and it tells you to smell it. What kind of a movie does that. Well, I don't see any new movies using it, and that was a smart move. If this movie was called anything else, I would of still thought it stunk, but putting the Spy Kids title on it just made it worse. Jessica Alba did the best she could, for her role was stupid and meaningless. Carmen and Juni were a big success. The other 2 know it all brats, one a child who is hearing impaired, and 2, a prank pulling, bad acting, brat daughter who defines the word selfish. Snow White and the Huntsman has better jokes than this (And Snow White has no jokes). The plot to this story was the typical plot. A step mother with two step kids, one who hates her and a Spy Hunter T.V. show star husband. But the step mother is actually a spy. When the two kids are attacked, they have to get in to action and fight against the time keeper. For some reason, Carmen and Juni are in this, but they are a lot older. This a stupid movie, and the only thing good about this movie was the talking dog voiced by comedian Ricky Gervais. I don't know how they got him for this $2,000 picture. At one part, where the bad actress who does the prank star step daughter is attacked by some giant claw, she tries to avoid it and turns her head to the side, avoiding the claw. If you look closely, you can see her smiling. This was a huge disappointment, and awful film. Absolutely terrible. D-.
