How fitting that the subtitle of this sequel is Island of Lost Dreams, for Rodriguez has let his vivid imagination run even more amok in waking, cinematic life.August 09, 2002
There's enough here to keep the sequel rocking, providing you can leave the adult in you at the door.August 09, 2002
Given the appeal of his first movie, Rodriguez had a big act to follow. Spy Kids ' progeny, though slightly lacking in the warmth of the first, should no doubt please audiences.December 06, 2005
The best example in recent memory of what happens when an independent-minded director is allowed to exercise his talents with the backing and support of a Hollywood support system.April 29, 2009
Rodriguez tends to learn from his mistakes and made a truly superior film to the first.December 28, 2010
An imaginatively joyous adventure.August 20, 2002
Rodriguez seems to have forgotten that making a spectacle is not the same thing as creating a sense of wonder.May 26, 2006
Following up his enormous hit from last year, writer-director Robert Rodriguez does the impossible -- he makes a big Hollywood sequel into a personal pet project.August 12, 2002
I didn't like the first one enough to recommend it. I liked this one even less.August 09, 2002
With Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams, the Spy Kids franchise establishes itself as a durable part of the movie landscape: a James Bond series for kids.October 24, 2011
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.January 29, 2012
Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams is certainly trippy and inventive, but the film is way too long, a little too flat and not nearly as enjoyable as the original.
