Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Agent Cody Banks (2003) really is like a bond film for the tween crowd. But I don't think that the audience is just limited to 12/13 year olds, I think older audience members can have fun with it too. Frankie Muniz, Hilary Duff, and Angie Harmon star, and they all do a good job with their roles. Frankie captures the fun/innocent, almost dorky side of the character, but then is able to switch into special agent mode when needed. Hilary Duff plays the typical action film girl that is rescued, falls for the agent, that kind of thing, and she plays it well. And Angie Harmon plays Cody's CIA handler, she is the one responsible for him and his performance. I really loved Angie character, and her performance, she really cared for Cody, was like a mentor to him, she also has her share of humorous dialogue. Her costumes are very well done too, they are typical cool spy type costumes, form fitting, stuff like that. Some people complained that her character was too "sexy" or "sensual". I don't really agree with that, yes her wardrobe was kinda tight and sometimes sexy looking, but that's typical action film style, and it works. Her entrance to the movie is perfect, heels clicking to the music, showing all the jerks in the locker room who's boss. The script is average, but this movie really doesn't require an Oscar award winning script, the script works for what the movie is. The action sequences could have been better, but overall I think they worked just fine. I think the ending especially looked good, the explosions, and other visuals looked impressive. And Of course the movie ends happily with a bow, but that's how it's supposed to, and I quite liked it. I recommend this film for a 11 year old and older audience. 7/10.

I realize this is a movie for kids, but it was the only decent thing on TV so I watched it. It was OK I guess, nothing more, nothing less. I don't remember much of it though.The acting by both Frankie Muniz and Hilary Duff was pretty good. The concept of the movie, or the plot if you will, was more than a bit unrealistic. Other than that the plot was good. I had a few laughs, there were some good action scenes, and some very good ones as well.As I said the acting was pretty good. Arnold Vosloo did a great job in the role of Molay, the bad guy. I think Mr. Vosloo might be born to play bad guys. I mean you see him in «The Mummy», «Chuck», «Blood Diamond». He is a natural! Anyhow, It is probably good enough for young teens, but I don't think it will be a big hit with other people. It gets 4 mediocre stars out of a possible 10 from me. See you later, alligator.Shevy

Frankie Muiniz plays a secret agent teenager trained in all the ways of being a teenager except one - talking to girls. In what sounds like a Disney movie plot, he goes on a mission involving a pretty girl of course and has to learn on the job. The movie is what it is a movie for the younger tween crowd and fans of the malcom in the middle star and fans of Hilary Duff. It is not bad and is entertaining mindless fare that you can watch with your brains off with your kids. Just don't expect anything great. Muniniz and Duff do a pretty good job with the material and it is always good to see law and order veteran Angie Harmon .

I saw this movie back in 2008 and I did not like it. Its a rip off James bond and the characters have no development and why see this movie its one of the worst movies of 2003 along with inspector gadget 2 and is just as bad as inspector gadget 2 and its dull and lame and really cheesy and should not bring out a 3rd one I have not seen the 2nd one but I would say its worser then this and I hope would not see a movie like this again its so stupid and dull and lame and full ramdones If you want a live action agent movie then go and buy James bond I don't recommend this movie to any one unless you have to get your sleep then get this out along with inspector gadget 2 and home alone 4 and Herbie goes bananas 1 out of 10 for stupid story plot. poor
