Marissa Wilson (Jessica Alba), is the aunt of the original spy kids, Carmen and Juni Cortez, who are all grown up now. Marissa is pregnant but she’s carrying out one last mission as a spy – catching Tick Tock, a villain who’s stolen the key to the Armageddon device, which can steal time. She captures Tick Tock, while still pregnant, and she puts him behind bars. Since she’s retiring, Marissa has not told her new husband, Wilbur, or his young twin children, Rebecca and Cecil, that she was a spy.
One year later, Marissa is living with their new baby and Wilbur is busy with his new reality show as a spy hunter. He still doesn’t know his wife used to be a spy herself. Marissa is suddenly called back into action when another villain, called the Timekeeper, steals the Armageddon Device and is working with Tick Tock, who’s escaped from jail. She doesn’t realize, however, that the Timekeeper is after a medallion and necklace Marissa gave Rebecca, which can stop the Armageddon Device from stealing time from the whole world. Rebecca and her twin brother, Cecil, are forced to work together to help their mom. They get help from their aunt, Carmen, who wants to revive the Spy Kids Division.
- The cool gadgets
The camera work is very weird and the effects lack... you
know... intelligence. The story of the movie is rushed and way too thin for the
films running time. The action is a bit boring and it doesn’t help that the
editing is messy and disorganized. The actors in the movie aren’t good; I mean
it was cool of them to bring back Daryl Sabarra and Alexa Vega, but they didn’t
really fit in that much, I mean the movie is called Spy Kids, the new kids are ok, but there are some parts of
the movie where they don’t have confidence to do what they’re supposed to do
and that makes them less appealing.
Jeremy Piven (The Villain) is the only good
actor in this film; I mean he really gives his all into this underwritten and
uninteresting villain part. Also Jessica Alba does nothing with her role other
than look pretty. The characters in
the movie are so cardboard; it’s hard to treat this movie like a good kids movie.
This movie was also in 4-D, which was extremely stupid in the theaters
So, in the end,
The only reason you should see this movie, is pretty much if you are trying to get stupider, or if you're drunk.
Here is the trailer:
Also, the FULL movie is on YouTube, so here you go.

AH Spy kids 4 D! I've never seen this movie but I've seen all the other ones. The reason I never watched this movie is because they changed all the actors and to me it did not seem like it was the real spy kids. I could tell from previews this movie is not very good. It's one of those movies they just want to keep making sequels but they should have just ended it with a bang. Being said I really did enjoy all the other spy kids but thank you for telling me this movie is not great, so I will not waste my time watching it.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad someone else understands how terrible this movie is. As a child I grew up watching the original spy kids trilogy and this just destroyed the beautiful childhood memories I had. New generation of spy kids? I DON'T THINK SO! I appreciate how you noticed the terrible special effects and camera work it really was sort of off putting and just not as cool as the originals. Good job on this one!
ReplyDeleteSome elements from the first half plagiarized directly from: http://www.movieguide.org/reviews/spy-kids-4-all-the-time-in-the-world.html - some of it is word for word, some of it just replaces a few words. Cite your sources & never copy paste.
ReplyDeleteI expected more from a series whose first two movies I happen to like(and the third I try to forget). The concepts have always been ridiculous but this one pushed the envelope right off a cliff. I love your blogs, keep the coming. I also like how you do give credit to the movie where it is due, even bad movies have redeeming qualities.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I can't remember much of this movie, which most likely means that it wasn't very interesting. I seem to remember the good ones and forget the bad ones. You prove your points very well and include some interesting views on this movie. I agree with Marc where he says that you give credit where credit is due. Good job, and keep up the good work.
