Review of Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams (2002) by Natalie N — 01 Apr 2009

This did not measure up the first film because the writers went berserk in the cliché and politically-correct camp. No surprise there. I am referring to (1) kid are smarter than adults; (2) girls can beat up boys. When it Hollywood going to stop giving us those lies? With a very, very few exceptions, those simply are not true but they are pictured in films all the time in the last generation.

Anyway, as in the first film, this movie still offers up a bunch of cool special-effects and wild scenes that are fun to watch. Also, the emphasis is still on family unity, but not presented as strongly as the initial film, "Spy Kids.".
