Spy Kids: Armageddon

Honestly... this was not terrible like I thought It would be.

Firstly this didn't seem like a reboot. The characters are NOT Juni and Carmen but are new characters completely.

Take the first three spy kid films plots and put them all into chatGPT with the prompt "Combine all the elements of these films into one film".

This film, although not as good as the original 3 (never saw the 4th), still feels like a proper Spy Kids film, even keeping the Spy Kids Leitmotif from the originals.

It's fun and very cheesy. Kids will probably love this, adults will probably review bomb it.

Still wish we got another outing of Carmen and Juni with the original cast.

"Spy Kids: Armageddon" is a colossal disappointment, a film that crashes and burns spectacularly despite the potential of its exciting premise. The film is an incoherent mess, struggling to find its identity amidst a chaotic blend of half-baked ideas and poorly executed action sequences.

Rodriguez's direction further exacerbates the film's issues. The action sequences lack excitement and creativity, relying heavily on CGI that feels dated and unimpressive. There's a distinct lack of innovative choreography or visual flair, making the movie visually unappealing despite its supposed 'spy' theme. It's a shame to see a director of Rodriguez's caliber produce something so lackluster and uninspired.

In conclusion, "Spy Kids: Armageddon" is a prime example of how a once-beloved franchise can be tarnished by careless filmmaking. Roberto Rodriguez's direction, which was once celebrated, has now become a liability, leading the series into a downward spiral of mediocrity. This film is a disheartening reminder of what can happen when creativity takes a back seat, and commercial interests drive the filmmaking process.

How many years has it been since the franchise ended. Many you may say or not enough you may think. Well fear not as Netflix now presents a reboot of the series containing everything you didnt miss about the others. Tony and patty's parents are spies. Of course they don't know and after Tony downloads and tries to beat a new game. A evil man steals the universal code to unlock things and tried to enslave the world. You know the usual. I didnt think much of the child actors and thought they seemed a little annoying. Gina and John were good but cheesy in the subject of this film. I missed the thumb people but we do get skeletons that kinda reminds me of the Argonauts ones we got in the second film. Overall this film did seem a little too childish and wasent really in the spirit of the original. Still a good watch though.

I've watched the Spy Kids films. And they where entertaining fun, not great, but enjoyable B. Movie fun, and never tries to be nothing more. But Robert Rodriguez wants to keep it going, even though it appears it does not want to be, he made a superhero version titled We Can Be Heroes, which was a little better in my opinion.

Now the effects are hit or miss here, and the two kids are fun to watch, but I bought them more has friends then brother and sister. But Zachery Levi is just sleepwalking through this, looking very bored being in this. Gina Rodriguez does alright by what she's giving, but other than that, this is a mess of itself.

If your looking for a movie to watch with your family about cool spy's saving the world.... Well find a different one this on sucks definitely don't recommend the director should probably rethink his career choices honestly he shouldn't make movies anymore nothing against him personally this movie was just annoying and hard too watch. Terrible movie also who you gonna have a secret agency where anyone can find you cuz it's literally labeled in the middle of the city that didn't make sense tbh the whole movie makes no sense they tried tho they could have tried harder in my opinion thats a whole 1 and 40 minutes im never getting back kinda disappointed in myself for watching it now.
