Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Jackson Booth-Millard The first film is the only one to bother with, the second was okay and the third was awful, I did not have high hopes for this fourth instalment, which in 4D meant for cinema goers meant 3D effect and smelling or feeling things, not for me watching on TV, directed by Robert Rodriguez (From Dusk Till Dawn, Sin City). Basically Marissa Wilson (Jessica Alba) on the surface appears to be just an ordinary mother with a new baby and married to famous spy hunting television reporter Wilbur Wilson (Joel McHale). Her intelligent twin stepchildren Rebecca (Rowan Blanchard) and Cecil (The Lone Ranger's Mason Cook) don't want her around, thinking she is uncool, in fact, with her husband unaware, she is a retired secret agent. Her true identity is only revealed to Rebecca and Cecil when they enter the underground layer of the house, full of spy gadgets and gizmos, and they become entangled in a world domination plot, the maniacal Timekeeper (Jeremy Piven) threatens to take over the planet by slowing time. Marissa is wanted back in action by the Organization of Super Spies (OSS), home of the greatest spies and where the now defunct Spy Kids division was created. Rebecca and Cecil are surprised by the revelation of their "boring" stepmother, and with their bickering ways they must put their differences aside and work together to save the world, and they get help from former Spy Kids, now teenagers, brother and sister Juni Cortez (Daryl Sabara) and Carmen Cortez (Alexa PenaVega), and robotic talking dog Argonaut (voiced by Ricky Gervais). In the end, after defeating the Time Keeper and his identical henchmen, Danger D'Amo and Tick Tick (both also Piven), time is intact and restored, and the Spy Kids program is revived, with Rebecca and Cecil going on to become recruiters of new agents. Also starring Danny Trejo as Uncle Machete, Chuck Cureau as News Anchor and Jeepers Creepers' Jonathan Breck as Wilbur's Boss. The previous instalment was a complete mess, it crossed the line between expensive trash and cheap rubbish with its use of special effects, unfortunately things have not improved with this fourth instalment, the special effects are pointless when you combine with a predictable and stupid story, I perhaps tittered at the voice of Gervais and some spoof references, but the charm has disappeared and it feels like the kids themselves are responsible for putting it together, this is one the kids and the family should not even bother with, a crap fantasy action adventure. Pretty poor!

Desertman84 Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World is the fourth installment of the Spy Kids series that was resurrected after eight years of absence in 2011.This family film adventure movie by Robert Rodriguez stars the originals - Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara - together with Jessica Alba,Joel McHale,Rowan Blanchard,Mason Cook,Ricky Gervais and Jeremy Piven.The story of the fourth film is about a family that seeks the help of Spy Kids - Carmen and Juni Cortez - after they are threatened by a nemesis who intends to take over the world.Marissa Cortez Wilson is married to a famous television reporter and has step kids Rebecca and Cecil,who happen to be intelligent kids and who apparently don't want their stepmother around so much. Apparently,Marissa happens to be a retired spy and her world is turned upside down after a new nemesis - Timekeeper - plans to take over the planet.In her mission,she seeks the help of the Spy Kids to stop Timekeeper's evil plans.At this film,the series has obviously run its course.It should have not been brought back to screen considering that the fourth film has been characterized by the same old plot that worked in the original such as under-aged kids acting as spies,nemesis that have the same mission of taking over the world and bringing back the new special effect particularly the crummy old AromaScope.It is apparent that the children who have enjoyed the first three films have grown up as adults just like the original Spy Kids cast and they have definitely outgrown the fun,excitement and entertainment that it is expected to provide.The box office results is a testament to that as it was the lowest among all four films.In the end,it is time to put a halt to the series.

g-bodyl In one of the most surprising happenings that occurred to me, I found out that I actually liked the fourth installment in the Spy Kids franchise for the most part. The first two films are definitely better but this is way better than the horrid third film. I guess I liked this film because it brought back so many memories from my childhood. That was true when Carmen and Juni appeared on screen. I know the acting was cheesy and there were plenty of potty humor, but I couldn't bring myself to hate this film.Robert Rodriguez's film is about an evil guy who is bent on making time go faster so a retired spy and her kids are recruited to turn time back to normal.As I mentioned earlier, the acting is kind of cheesy. Jessica Alba is pretty good and is quite nice on the eyes. The kids are decent even though they say some weird stuff. Ricky Gervais makes an awesome dog with his voice.Overall, this is a decent film but I can see why many people despised it. Despite my thumbs up, I think it's time for this franchise to hit the bucket as I can see some wear and tear. This film wasn't even asked for in the first place but it's a nice distraction for the kids. It doesn't have the great visuals as the earlier films, but it wont matter to the kids. I rate this film 7/10.

Steve Johnson I have to say, it really deserves a negative 99. Now, I absolutely loved the trilogy of the Spy Kids movies. I was sad it was done, and wanted a 4th and 5th and so on. But when I saw this, I was outraged about how stupid this was. Now, since Robert Rodriguez is done directing good movies, I wish this movie never happened. This just absolutely downgraded the whole Spy Kids franchise. I hated this movie. Oh, and the 4D was just annoying. One time, a kid farts and it tells you to smell it. What kind of a movie does that. Well, I don't see any new movies using it, and that was a smart move. If this movie was called anything else, I would of still thought it stunk, but putting the Spy Kids title on it just made it worse. Jessica Alba did the best she could, for her role was stupid and meaningless. Carmen and Juni were a big success. The other 2 know it all brats, one a child who is hearing impaired, and 2, a prank pulling, bad acting, brat daughter who defines the word selfish. Snow White and the Huntsman has better jokes than this (And Snow White has no jokes). The plot to this story was the typical plot. A step mother with two step kids, one who hates her and a Spy Hunter T.V. show star husband. But the step mother is actually a spy. When the two kids are attacked, they have to get in to action and fight against the time keeper. For some reason, Carmen and Juni are in this, but they are a lot older. This a stupid movie, and the only thing good about this movie was the talking dog voiced by comedian Ricky Gervais. I don't know how they got him for this $2,000 picture. At one part, where the bad actress who does the prank star step daughter is attacked by some giant claw, she tries to avoid it and turns her head to the side, avoiding the claw. If you look closely, you can see her smiling. This was a huge disappointment, and awful film. Absolutely terrible. D-.
