Critics Consensus

Though the concept is no longer fresh, Spy Kids 2 is still an agreeable and energetic romp.

Rodriguez seems to be trying too hard to cram in too much - more gadgets, more characters, more noise, more color. But bigger, brighter and faster isn't necessarily better.

3.5/5

It is a colourful, high-flying package that melds the gadget-happy sensibilities of its Mission: Impossible-spoofing predecessor with a parade of Hollywood in-jokes sure to amuse parents without confusing kids.

2.5/4

It's a spirited attempt to recapture the first film’s offbeat appeal, but the end result, while still enjoyable, is decidedly less satisfying.

... a high energy, high tech wish-fulfillment adventure that empowers its young audience. Rodriguez has the chops of a smart-aleck film school brat and the imagination of a big kid...

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

No matter how old you are when you watch this movie, it will always be a 10 out of 10; not only because of the nostalgia, but because of the whole context that the movie presents to us, Spy Kids 2 is a masterpiece for everyone.
