I cashed out at the McDonalds advertisement. Robert Rodriguez is very talented, with movies like El Mariachi, Desperado and recently Alita, he portrays quick witted protagonists. This is well photographed, nicely edited and very well acted.I cashed out at the McDonalds advertisement. Robert Rodriguez is very talented, with movies like El Mariachi, Desperado and recently Alita, he portrays quick witted protagonists. This is well photographed, nicely edited and very well acted. The red alert for parents in trouble came at a weird time. I find it difficult these days to sit through movies about happy families, loving and loyal. Every family I ever saw was about competition and manipulation, with every member of the family having no other priority except to sabotage the others.… Expand

Well, I got something completely different from what I expected. The film was cool with its gadgets and gizmos, neat one-liners and brilliant kid?s action sequences (which are not developed enough or long enough), but in the long run, this film was a disappointment. The plot was stupid beyond belief. I didn?t laugh that much. The film has high potential, is endlessly imaginative and brings up some cool creations, but I found the story laughable and the whole brother story just tired. The film was predictable and as soon as we get to Floop?s castle thing, the stupidity takes over. Those thumbs are just plain lame and although the flawless visuals are good to look at and the art direction is stunning, the walking-see-sensing thumb-people and colourful Floop TV companions are just stupid. The movie would?ve been much better if they had come up with something just as creative but not as laughable. The acting was pretty. The direction was pretty impressive and the visuals excel the most. The film dreams up excellent ideas and is creative, but the story and script are really quite low-key. With the sequel, get rid of those dumb-ass thumbs and companions, come up with a better story, cut the corn and get to the good stuff.… Expand

Spy Kids isn't something terribly great, but kids will enjoy it with It's great performances, and a good voice acting. Overall, a good movie, that I recommend it mostly to children.

Spy Kids is actually better than I thought it would be. I looked awfully cheesy and disappointing. Instead it brought zany humor and weird plot elements. Its pure fun for everyone.
