Spy Kids: Armageddon

The trilogy was silly and good in some way and the fourth part was bad but this reboot fails to match the level of the original. The movie is little bit entertaining and enjoyable but overall, it is just a average movie with forgettable story and characters. The story was average and ineffective, the screenplay was uneven, the direction was below average and the performances were okay. The family bond, which should have been an important part of the movie was totally missing.

Overall, you will not love this movie and I would recommend you to just watch the first two parts. They are enough to entertain you. This reboot was literally not needed.

I grew up watching the original spy kids movies and loved them. They each had an interesting idea with good learning point about loyalty, family and even just how to have fun with imagination.

I have been open to watch the new spy kids Armageddon but I watch through the originals again too In order before writing this review. I can honestly say the movie was disappointing and very underwhelmed.

There is no relation to the original family like in the other 4 movies so they are completely new kids. However it's the parents that are spys again and the kids just like video game. The movie had a heavy focus on how much kids play games and that can be there superpower. I am personally a gamers but I found this sloppy. I have grown with games over the years and there was something terrible watching adults being unable to do anything because they can't use a game controller.

The CGI was unfortunately terrible again for a movie from 2023. The skeletons were better in the original, I honestly don't know what went wrong. There is even some sections in the movie that are copies from the original and could have been a nice Easter egg but even these scenes were disappointing and didn't really capture the same emotions from the base series.

Also I found it alittle sad watching a fully grown man fighting and beating a child. In the old movies this was done in a more tasteful manner with the parents being involved too. This often made the sides look more even and a bigger goal for the family to reach.

Overall I was left board and dissatisfied with how the series has changed. Sometimes movies should stay in the past. I will be watching the original 3 movies with my children, not this one.

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.

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.
