"Spy Kids: All The Time In The World" is essentially a reboot as opposed to a true sequel as it launches viewers upon the adventures of a new central family. Yes, original kids Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara are on hand as grown counterparts of themselves, but it feels as if they are passing the torch to the younger generation. While this, the fourth in the series, has much of the visual inventiveness you've come to appreciate from Rodriguez, it does lack some of the easy charm of the first couple of pictures.

There's lots of action, kids beating up grown ups, dogs that poop bombs- and a farting baby (their favorite parts of the movie). It was everything that a 5 year old and a 9 year old could want from a movie!! LOL!!I personally wish it had been offered from Amazon VOD as a 3D rental...that would have looked great on our 3D tv (we tried to watch it in 3D, but it's just not as good as when the movie is actually in 3D format). |
