Bereamic Awesome Movie

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

gridoon2018 Rushed sequel to the 2003 surprise hit "Agent Cody Banks"; this one flopped at the box office and effectively terminated any plans for a series. Teenagers in an undemanding mood might still go for it, but adults may not be so forgiving. Though the cast tries, and there are a few cute and amusing moments, the film is overall uninspired and by-the-numbers. Even the London footage doesn't add much. ** out of 4.

SnoopyStyle Agent Cody Banks (Frankie Muniz) is at CIA camp. When helicopters come, he camp director Diaz escape. It turns out CIA was trying to capture Diaz for stealing a mind control chip. Now Banks has to go to London as an undercover musical prodigy to get close to a scientist who Diaz needs to perfect a mind control device. Banks gets a new wisecracking handler Derek (Anthony Anderson).I don't usually like Anthony Anderson, and I really really don't like him here. He's more annoying than usual. And going to London does nothing but create a whole bunch of idiotic stereotypes. Hannah Spearritt seems a bit to old to be a teen. As far as the production, it looks like a bad TV show inside the London residence. Cody Banks is a silly little teen movie. So that's to be expected in the sequel. But this is too silly. It doesn't even maintain the already low expectations.

sj-lynch Some movies are best not made into a sequel, but with Cody Banks 2, producers could have gone anywhere because number 1 had no loose ends to tie up. Hmm... so the whole idea of spies and secret agents may not appeal to some people, especially the fact that the spies are 16 year old kids. But for a secret agent movie it was quite cool. If you're looking for more action, go seem James Bond! This is a movie basically for 'kids',and I doubt it was ever meant to keep the adults really enthralled. I think they chose the right actors and actresses - yeah the weird Diaz and co are a little... well... weird, but they're the baddies for goodness sake!

jason06-1 Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London is a complete waste of your time unless you like crude jokes and nothing elsePlot: During a game of hide and go seek at the training camp a top secret mind control device has been stolen by Kenworth (James Faulkner) and Diaz (Keith Allen). Agent Cody Banks (Frankie Muniz) is sent by the C. I. A. Director (Keith David) undercover as a violin player at a fancy and rich music school where Kenworth lives with his wife. There he meets his sidekick Derek (Anothny Anderson) and at school he meets Emily (Hannah Spearitt). Together all three of them must find the mind control device and take it back before something happens, but complications arise as Kenworth and Diaz figure out how to make the device work. The Good News: There is really not a lot to like here. Out of the few positives the two fight scenes at the end layered over with the music is all good and I have to say I rewound that part several times. The new gadgets are all nice and neat and cool and any little kid would want them. The action scenes are well thought out, but are not as spectacular as the ones in the first. The one that really stands out is the factory chase with all the crates everywhere that make for great hiding places and it's rather satisfying. The returning actors do great and the new faces are rather horrible. Some parts are unpredictable, but there are only a few of them.The Bad News: Oh, where do I start? OK, no Hilary Duff. Instead we get some twenty- three year old posing as a high schooler and that story about Hilary not being able to come back because of school is false. On the commentary for A Cinderilla Story she clearly states she didn't go to high school and I would highly doubt that she would be in college by now. Oh well, anyway the new faces have know idea what they're doing and wonder around with a blank stare saying lines like they're reading off an eye chart. Anohny Anderson is the worst and his attempts at humor are ridiculous. At one point he brings up three jars of his pee to distract the guards so Cody can sneak through. The whole thing is not funny and leaves you feeling empty. That's another thing, when the credits roll the whole film leaves you feeling empty and sad you wasted your time on this. The gadgets are cool as I stated earlier, but the whole scene is almost ruined by a terrible actor delivering the gadgets and his weak attempts at comedy. The car that Cody and Derek rid in is too ridiculously to be taken seriously and the brings up another point. Our villains are not scary in the least, in the first one you actually knew what they could do and were capable of. It's heard to be scared of a villain who farts every so often. There are a lot more problems with this film, but I thing I've said enough.Conclusion: Do not see this if you were a fan of the original or does not find crude jokes funny. If you do think they are funny well what are you waiting for? Grab yourself a DVD copy today! But for me I'll stick with the first one. Not RecommendedRated: PGfor action violence and some crude humor
