a5c7b9f00b The Cortez siblings set out for a mysterious island, where they encounter a genetic scientist and a set of rival spy kids. Young agents Carmen and Juni Cortez are now full fledged spies at the OSS agency but onlyLevel 2 agents. When a top secret, all powerful device is stolen, the brother sister duo set out to retrieve it. Their mission takes them to an uncharted island where they must take on a duo of rival Spy Kids and a horde of strange monsters. Only then the Cortezes realize that their mission is all a set up to lure them into a trap. And little do they know is that their parents are also on their tail. 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&#39;t make sense (cinemasins would have a field day with this), but to me that&#39;s just part of what makes it so fun to watch.<br/><br/>I&#39;ve recently gone back to watch old movies I watcheda kid, and this is one of the ones I think held up the most. I&#39;m a fan of the Spy Kids franchise, but when I first heard about this sequel, I though, &#39;Not again!&#39; Too many movie franchises have been ruined by sequels. However, I decided to give it a chance when it came out on DVD. Well,it turns out, I liked it.<br/><br/>Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams picks up after the events of the first film. Carmen and Juni are now part of a whole group of international Spy Kids. However, they have some competition from the Giggles, Gary and Gerti. Unfortunately, Carmen has a crush on Gary, but Juni is wary (for good reason). Anyway, Carmen and Juni go to a mysterious island, populated by strange creatures. Also, their gadgets don&#39;t work. So, the film picks up speed, and becomes an adventure film with bizarre creatures, a not quite mad scientist named Romero (played wonderfully by Steve Buscemi), and a device that can control, or destroy, the world. Also, Gregorio and Ingrid, their parents, have come looking for them, with Ingrid&#39;s parents, Grandpa and Grandma (played by Ricardo Montalban and Holland Taylor). The film&#39;s climax is good, not overdone. And the message is still the same: Family is important.<br/><br/>Overall, I liked this one better then the first one. It has better performances, better gadgets, and overall, a better film. Robert Rodriguez is awesome! I can&#39;t wait to see his other films (El Mariachi, Desperado, From Dusk Til Dawn, etc.) Anyway, my rating? A solid 5 out of 5. Though it's longer and more elaborate than it needs to be, it shares its predecessor's smart but relaxed sense of humor, a sophisticated imagination and the ability to be sharp and playful without being malicious.
