I liked this film as much as I did the first one. In fact I saw this movie in theatres before I saw the first one. I believe thats why I saw the first one. Anyway, this is another cool movie with great special effects and good acting.The junior spies return and this time they head to an mysterious island that is home to a wacky scientist and some strange creatures. But there is also trouble on the island. Also they have to deal with rival spies of their own.The acting is pretty good. Sabara and Vega matured more in this film. I was happy to see Steve Buscemi. He always make his part work.Overall, this is a great spy film. I also have to say this is the last film thats actually good in the trilogy. I rate this film 8/10.

As the story begins, Juni and Carmen Cortez are agents on the rise in the new Spy Kids division of the OSS. Despite all of their skills and accomplishments, they're denied a promotion in the agency as a result of blatant nepotism. Still determined to make their mark—and more importantly to upstage a pair of rival agents—they intervene in a mission to travel to a mysterious island and retrieve a sophisticated thingamajig that could be a potent threat if it falls into the wrong hands. Engaging sequel is far less cheesy than its predecessor, has a much better story, and lots of imaginative visual effects accompanied by exciting, cliffhanger action scenes. Overlong, and still corny at times, but has just enough ingredients to entertain all audiences. ***

I liked Spy Kids 1 and I like Spy Kids 2 even better.Special effects are fun and original. The two kids actors are great.It is amusing to see Antonia Banderas who usually is so intense playing a comedic part. The addition of the two grandparents is a nice touch.Nice film for the family!
