It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Spy Kids 2 is a film written and directed by Robert Rodriguez. AS I had seen the first Spy Kids film, I decided to give this film also a go, but with much lesser expectations. And what we get is the same mismash of the first film.Plot: It is upto OSS agents Carmen and Juni to recover a Transmooker device from a mysterious island.Story and direction: As usual, there is nothing much interesting to the story. BUt the way Robert decides to go with the story is very conventional. He follows the same old route that he followed with the first film. Even we have some new characters that are added to this venture, but none of them seem very likable. That may be because Robert Rodriguesz liked to do everything in the film but doesn't excel in any part. Although the visual effects are a wee bit better than the first film, but still it is a pain to the eyes considering the film's that came before this one employed much better VFX. And the implausibilties are so much that you cringe in almost every scene at the stupidity that happens. I am not saying that I have a problem with stupidity. But there is always a way to make it presentable, where this film fails the most.Performances: Alexa Vega and Carla Juni were again adorable as the Spy Kids agents. Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino were likable. Why were Alan Cummin and Tony Shalhoub asked to return for this, is still not understandable to me. Danny Trejo is will be always rememberede as Machete. The other rival kids were kind of irritating. I don't know whether it was their acting or characterization, I hated them.Verdict: Stepping down from the first film, Spy Kidfs 2 was not a great watch for me. I kept seeing my watch as to when this film will be over. Again this film will bring some smiles on the kids' faces, but nothing for teenagers or adults.I am going with a 4/10.

Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams is a sequel to Spy Kids and a family fantasy adventure movie by Robert Rodriguez that tells more adventures of Carmen and Juni Cortez.It stars Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara as Carmen and Juni respectively together with Antonio Banderas, Carla Gugino,Ricardo Montalbán and Steve Buscemi. The second installment of Spy Kids was definitely another joyous family adventure.Despite the fact that it has a limited production money,it looked like a big production movie with its visual effects.Also,it has also become more creative and charismatic making it more entertaining as compared to the original despite the fact that it is no longer a fresh concept to the viewers.Overall,it manages not to fall into the trap of what most sequels become - a mediocre film - as it can be comparable to the first film.

the film was okay it was fun to watch but again it is stupid. in this they have to save there mom and dad who have been kidnapped and taken to the island of lost dreams but when Carmon and juny visit the fall in to a lab were they discover dinosuars, creatures and skeletons that want to kill them.they run away from the creatures as they go to rescue there mom and dad. this one didn't focus on the unrealisticness but on being fun to watch. thank goodness it wasn't 3-d it wood have had no plot. Troublemakers studio finally made a good movie. it was fun to watch. i also was glad it wasn't boring because when i get bored during a movie i pick out actors. there isn't a lot of actors in the movie. i liked this one. i gave it 4 out of 10 stars.
