Fulfills kids' empowerment fantasies and features enough techno-wizardry and cool f/x to satisfy those weaned on videogames.
In terms of its family ethos, this makes an interesting comparison with the Addams Family films.
As a piece of almost dadaist filmmaking, Spy Kids is great fun with its continual spirit of invention.
A fine, relatively non-violent example of pure family entertainment.
A good live-action children's movie -- a species so rare that many presumed it extinct.
One of the best kids movies in years.
The visual effects don't really hold up 10 years later, but Spy Kids is still a charming, energetic, inventive kids' flick that balances its goofier side with its a sense of dramatic maturity.
Just the right combination of fantasy and comedy.
The kids play off each other very well and never miss a beat with perfect-timed humor and acting.
This year's most unlikely-and most successful-exhilarating family-type entertainment.
The entire ensemble of old pros play their designated roles well; standing out are Cumming, whose trademark impishness fits this role like a glove; and Danny Trejo, playing a nice guy for a change and pulling it off wonderfully.
The coolest kid flick in ages.
Robert Rodriguez tones down on the violent and vulgar vibe he's accustomed too and trades it with fun and family-oriented adventures, and it actually pays off. Spy Kids is engaging and has enough for children as well as adults to enjoy. 4/5
Super Reviewer
I get the feeling that at one point in Spy Kids the film makers tried to make these kids look cute and a bit more life like but somewhere I think they went wrong. Not as good as it puts itself out to be.
usually critics judge kids movies by adult standars, but fans see kids movies for what they are. with spy kids, its the opposite. the critics get this movie, and fans are entirely too hard on it. a solid kids film that brings little ones into the same sort of fantasy that james bond does for their parents. fun and silly but full of adventure, this is a solid flick.
A very enjoyable film, its fun and colorful. But like others said, maybe too kid friendly. The cast is funny and good, they picked the right kids for the movie. The plot may be a little ridiculous, but its perfect for kids, and it is Spy Kids. The action is the perfect mix for kids, but adults will be bored maybe. Overall I can't understand all the negativity, I like Spy Kids.
