Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Christy Lemire Associated Press 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. Oct 24, 2011 Full Review Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Nell Minow Common Sense Media An imaginatively joyous adventure. Rated: 4/5 Dec 28, 2010 Full Review Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Empire Magazine Rated: 4/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand ... 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... Aug 20, 2023 Full Review Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Move over 007 - there are new kids in town -- the Spy Kids - - and they're here for the long haul. Nov 15, 2019 Full Review Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Mark Steyn The Spectator If [it] sounds like the usual preoccupations of pop-culture parody, what lifts it above is Rodriguez's ability to create a self-contained world all of its own restless, wacky, beautiful to look at and with a genuine emotional warmth.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/26/23 Full Review Milo P Absolute masterpiece. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/09/23 Full Review Pedro G Buena película, una secuela no tan buena como la original pero que es genial. Esta secuela cuenta una aventura algo mayor a la anterior, pero sin embargo creo que falla en algunos aspectos. Hay que destacar que sigue siendo muy entretenida desde el comienzo, por lo que es una cinta fácil de ver. El desarrollo de los protagonistas no es tan bueno como en la anterior, ambos siguen siendo geniales y hacen una gran dupla pero siento que falto eso. Se nos presentan nuevos personajes interesantes, pero el que mas me gusto por lejos es Romero, alguien super interesante con una de las frases mas icónicas del cine. Otra cosa es que me hubiera gustado que salgan un poco mas los padres de los chicos. El villano es otra cosa que no me termino de convencer, no es tan bueno ni icónico como el de la primera cinta y no tiene mucho tiempo en pantalla por lo que no me resulto una gran amenaza para los protagonistas. Por otro lado, los efectos empeoraron un poco, ya que se utilizo el mismo presupuesto que en la anterior cinta pero hicieron muchas mas cosas digitalmente por lo que no se ven con tan buena calidad. Las actuaciones están muy bien, principalmente las de Alexa PenaVega, Daryl Sabara, Antonio Banderas, Carla Gugino, Danny Trejo, Steve Buscemi y Emily Osment. Además, el soundtrack sigue siendo brillante, con algunos temas que suman mucho a algunas escenas. En conclusión, una buena secuela que cumple con la función de presentar una historia con una gran aventura de espías que es entretenida a todo momento y que nos deja con ganas de ver mas sobre estos personajes tan entrañables. La recomiendo.
