DVD Review: SpyKids2 Island of Lost Dreams
Summary: 3 Stars
Great movie except for 1 thing! bought it for my grand kids--ages 9-3. We were really enjoying all the action and even the moral lessons...when all of a sudden close to the end...Carmen socks her "boyfriend" in the nose and tells him he is full of S***. What a let down!!! we all just looked at each other and said "did they not think children would watch this?" and why did they even think that line needed to be in this movie for them? Ruin a whole movie for just one stupid unneeded word.....how very sad....DVD Review: A little over the top believability wise
Summary: 3 Stars

Summary: 3 Stars
Pint-sized OSS Junior agents, sister and brother Carmen (Alexa Vega) and Juni (Daryl Sabara) Cortez, are back for another spirited adventure in Spy Kids 2. Their newest and most dangerous mission takes them to a mysterious, hidden volcanic island where they meet a reclusive genetic scientist (Steve Buscemi) and his bizarre Noah's Ark of hybrid creatures which include the cat-fish, the bull-frog, and the Spork (sparrow / pork). Hot on their heels, eager to solve the mystery on the island and stop the world's imminent destruction first, are Carmen and Juni's rivals from OSS Junior, Gary (Matt O'Leary) and Gerti (Emily Osment) Giggles.
As the four kids head right into a perilous trap that could make them disappear forever, super spies Mom and Dad Cortez (Carla Gugino, Antonio Banderas) go after them, and their spy grandparents - "retired, but not tired" - played by Ricardo Montalban and Holland Taylor, round out the rescue party. But with their gadgets, gizmos and genetics, the Cortez kids don't need rescuing... or so they think.
Writer, director, editor, production designer, director of photography, re-recording mixer and composer (!) Robert Rodriguez has done something very unusual here: he's topped the popular original. Spy Kids 2 has a better plot, cooler special effects, and even more adventure than Spy Kids 1. It helps that all the same actors are back to play these likable characters, and Rodriguez was smart enough to add just enough new ones. Grandpa Cortez, in his high-tech wheelchair, is a not only a great role model, he's portrayed by the ideal actor for the role. The Giggles kids are perfectly annoying, and there's also a cavalcade of consistently cool character actors - Bucemi, Danny Trejo, Cheech Marin, Bill Paxton, Mike Judge - that are sure to delight with their quirky portrayals.
The gadgets, such as the Dragon-Spy sub, the satellite linked watches that do everything but tell time, and the rocket powered hover shoes, are lots of fun, but it's the Ray Harryhausen-inspired creatures, mythic beasts and sword-fighting skeletons which are the most entertaining. Rodriguez walks the fine line of respecting without ripping off.
I guess it's not top secret; I heartily recommend that you treat the kids - or the kid in you - to Spy Kids 2 on the special edition DVD.
Description of Spy Kids 2 - The Island of Lost Dreams (Collector's Series)
The coolest SPYkids anywhere are back for a huge new adventure! This time, Carmen and Juni are on a mission to recover a device that threatens the entire world! They enlist the skills of Mom and Dad (Carla Gugino and Antonio Banderas) -- and even their SPY grandparents (Holland Taylor and Ricardo Montalban) -- in a thrilling show of family teamwork! With even more cool gadgets, imaginative creatures, and awesome special effects ... it's a nonstop high-tech adventure for everyone!This delightful sequel to Spy Kids demonstrates once again writer-director Robert Rodriguez's remarkable gift for wild invention. Carmen and Juni Cortez (Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara) are now regular operatives for a spy agency, but a couple of rival spy kids are making their lives difficult. When an important gadget gets stolen, Juni gets blamed and loses his job--but Carmen hacks into the agency computer, reinstates him, and sends them off on a high-security mission to a mysterious island to clear the boy's name. The pace is zippy, every situation is crammed with dazzling eye-candy, and the cast is great--Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino return as the kids' parents, Steve Buscemi plays a crackpot scientist, and Ricardo Montalban comes in as the kids' grandfather. Fans of the classic Sinbad adventure movies will particularly enjoy the elaborate creatures that Carmen and Juni battle on the island. Pure fun. --Bret Fetzer
