I saw this movie today {opening}, and it wasn't what I expected. Of course, everyone loved Spy Kids. Such a clever movie. I expected this one to be terrible. But, it was really good. It basically takes off where the first one left off, with the Cortez youngsters {slightly larger, as the tagline suggests} real spys. But, they have some competition. Gary and Gertie Giggles, the new Spy Kids of the year, are the kid's rivals, except for Carmen Cortez, who has a secret crush on Gary. Anyways, the secret "Transmooker" device is stolen. It is a device used to shut off all the power in the world. It gets stolen, and the Giggles kids get the assignment to the Island Of Lost Dreams to return it. But, the Spy Kids make a little switch in plans, and end up going to the Island Of Lost Dreams, where illusions are free. The gadgets are cool, Steve Buscemi is great, Mrs. Cortez' parents arrive, which means more trouble, and I won't tell you who the real bad guy is, because that would spoil the movie. The movie is very good, and has its cleverness, but it doesn't live up to the 1st one. I hope Spy Kids 3 will be better. 7/10
