HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
SnoopyStyle Sibling secret agents Carmen (Alexa PenaVega) and Juni Cortez (Daryl Sabara) rescue the President's bratty daughter Alexandra. Siblings Gary (Matt O'Leary) and Gerti Giggles (Emily Osment) are competing fellow OSS agents. Donnagon Giggles (Mike Judge) is promoted to director of OSS over Gregorio Cortez (Antonio Banderas). Juni is blamed for losing the Transmooker device and fired. The device is tracked to a mysterious island off of Madagascar. Gary and Gerti are assigned by their father to go to the island. Carmen and Juni arrive on the island on their own. They discover their gadgets don't work and the island is filled with weird creatures. Their parents Gregorio and Ingrid (Carla Gugino) set off to rescue their kids with Ingrid's parents (Ricardo Montalbán, Holland Taylor) as stowaways.Robert Rodriguez continues his kiddie franchise with everybody returning for the sequel. I continue to like the arguing Cortez siblings. I also like the Giggles as their foil. Rodriguez stays with his wild CGI style. There are some Ray Harryhausen-like touches such as the creatures and the warrior skeletons. I think some Rodriguez fans judge this franchise too harshly for being kids movies. This franchise exists as its own thing and should be enjoyed as such.
stevolikescookies I gave this movie a 9/10 because not all movies are meant to be top quality in everything. This movie was made to be a sequel to a cheesy family friendly movie and it did not disappoint. If you saw the original and liked it at all, this movie followed up tremendously in a very short amount of time. It was funnier, cheesier, and had a surprisingly good actors/actresses. Sure there were plenty of things that didn't make sense (cinemasins would have a field day with this), but to me that's just part of what makes it so fun to watch.I've recently gone back to watch old movies I watched as a kid, and this is one of the ones I think held up the most.
Vaughan A Davies (brutalkid1997) the effects are cheap and unrealistic,the acting is so over the top i wanted to stop watching but i had to write a review on something so this movie is what i picked and its a massive stinker. the kids pulled in okay performance apart from the little girl Gerti Giggles ( Emily Osment) who won best young performer but i thought OVERRATED MOVIE AND ACTORS. this movie made more money then they had.the movie was awful the editor had to take bad acting like that and try to fix it.yet it did not work. this movie looks cheap, poorly made and i do not know how it got positive reviews this movie was worst then the cat in the hat. Why were the critics so dumb that they like this movie.this truly is the Worst Kids movie of the decade. This is the most awful kids movie ever 2/10
g-bodyl I liked this film as much as I did the first one. In fact I saw this movie in theatres before I saw the first one. I believe thats why I saw the first one. Anyway, this is another cool movie with great special effects and good acting.The junior spies return and this time they head to an mysterious island that is home to a wacky scientist and some strange creatures. But there is also trouble on the island. Also they have to deal with rival spies of their own.The acting is pretty good. Sabara and Vega matured more in this film. I was happy to see Steve Buscemi. He always make his part work.Overall, this is a great spy film. I also have to say this is the last film thats actually good in the trilogy. I rate this film 8/10.
