Pequenos Espiões: Apocalipse

No spoiler review .Spy Kids Armageddon was a nice change of pace from the last Spy kids movie. The parents are Experienced actors. The kids not professional but not as bad as " We are heros" Or Good like The Original Spy kids Trilogy.

Plot. The thought behind it was Almost SOOOOO good. The villian Could have been better made. With a Better purpose. His end Goal was kinda Odd but it had potential

CGI. The CGI was mostly Green Screen . But let me be clear this is not a bad thing in this movie. They definitely put more effort in this than previous installations.

Comedy . Definitely for children. Some good Joke for adults like a 4/20 Joke on the Computer for the Villains birthday( unless that wasnt supposed to be a joke)

Predictability. Did notice they reused a lot of jokes from the first movies. Which made this movie VERY predictable. While watching with my SO. We played a game in which i tried to predict the next scene. I was 90% right. Which makes it a hard watch.

Overall conclusion. Definitely a fun watch.... for kids. Won't complain. If you have kids. Sit down and watch it with them. But if you dont. Still sit down and watch it. Cause there isnt nothing better on netflix.

I've watched the Spy Kids films. And they where entertaining fun, not great, but enjoyable B. Movie fun, and never tries to be nothing more. But Robert Rodriguez wants to keep it going, even though it appears it does not want to be, he made a superhero version titled We Can Be Heroes, which was a little better in my opinion.

Now the effects are hit or miss here, and the two kids are fun to watch, but I bought them more has friends then brother and sister. But Zachery Levi is just sleepwalking through this, looking very bored being in this. Gina Rodriguez does alright by what she's giving, but other than that, this is a mess of itself.

I do not hate the first two movies Spy Kids (2001) and Spy Kids: Island of Lost Dreams (2002), but I do not care that much about them that much even if they can have some entertainment value in them, along with Spy Kids 3: Game Over (2003) which is a bad movie but it can be entertaining at times; in my opinion, the worst Spy Kids movie was Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World (2011). The Spy Kids reboot Spy Kids: Armageddon (2023) was better than Spy Kids three and four, but I liked it as much as I did the first two movies. To make clear, the movie was not terrible because it was entertaining to watch with effort put into it, and I can see kids liking the movie like the earlier four movies.

The main kids in the movie named Tony and Patty Tango-Torrez played by Connor Esterson and Everly Carganilla were not that bad in the movie, and even though they were a bit annoying from time to time, they were ok to get through. The kids have some cliché things kids do, but the two kids have their own way in doing things, like the brother cheating and lying especially when it includes video games, and the sister thinking honesty is the best policy and having nicer ways to get through rough situations. The parents played by Zachary Levi and Gina Rodriguez were also not that bad in the movie, and Zachary Levi as the dad had some funny moments in the movie; also, the dad has something to with on how the device called Armageddon was made and used for.

The villain Rey 'The King' Kingston played by Billy Magnussen was an ok antagonist; he could have been better though, being a game designer that steals a big weapon to control all technology making people play this difficult video game every time they want to use something. The henchman of sorts are characters from the popular video game where the CGI effects do not look believable, but the effects are better than the effects from the earlier films. The green screen at times will look good, but other times it is noticeable, especially in the third act climax that involves the video game realm to achieve a certain task that is a part of their mission.

All the effects in the go from being bad to being ok, and the action scenes were not that bad; even if it has some good things, it has issues involving the editing at certain scenes, some performances in the movie, some of the effects, and certain things that have something to do with the main premise. The reboot Spy Kids: Armageddon (2023) was better than the fourth movie, even though it is still not good, it was not terrible; it has good things like the acting, the premise, and some effects but it can also lead to the issues with the movie. Kids will be entertained, and I was too, but the Spy Kids franchise is still not my kind of thing even if it is aimed at kids; entertaining but mostly aimed at people who like these movies.

If your looking for a movie to watch with your family about cool spy's saving the world.... Well find a different one this on sucks definitely don't recommend the director should probably rethink his career choices honestly he shouldn't make movies anymore nothing against him personally this movie was just annoying and hard too watch. Terrible movie also who you gonna have a secret agency where anyone can find you cuz it's literally labeled in the middle of the city that didn't make sense tbh the whole movie makes no sense they tried tho they could have tried harder in my opinion thats a whole 1 and 40 minutes im never getting back kinda disappointed in myself for watching it now.

"Spy Kids: Armageddon" is a colossal disappointment, a film that crashes and burns spectacularly despite the potential of its exciting premise. The film is an incoherent mess, struggling to find its identity amidst a chaotic blend of half-baked ideas and poorly executed action sequences.

Rodriguez's direction further exacerbates the film's issues. The action sequences lack excitement and creativity, relying heavily on CGI that feels dated and unimpressive. There's a distinct lack of innovative choreography or visual flair, making the movie visually unappealing despite its supposed 'spy' theme. It's a shame to see a director of Rodriguez's caliber produce something so lackluster and uninspired.

In conclusion, "Spy Kids: Armageddon" is a prime example of how a once-beloved franchise can be tarnished by careless filmmaking. Roberto Rodriguez's direction, which was once celebrated, has now become a liability, leading the series into a downward spiral of mediocrity. This film is a disheartening reminder of what can happen when creativity takes a back seat, and commercial interests drive the filmmaking process.
