A bigger cast and more CGI doesn't necessarily mean anything
4 December 2021
I kinda liked the first SPY KIDS and while I didn't hated the second that much I still thought it was poor in some points. With this I thought that the writers must have ran out of ideas and that the series should have ended earlier.

Juni Cortez now works as a PI. One day he receives a video call from President Devlin (George Clooney in a flashy cameo) that informs her that her sister is gone missing. Juni first encounters the Giggles (Mike Judge and Salma Hayek) and they explain him that her sister is prisoner of the ToyMaker (Sylvester Stallone). For saving Carmen, Juni has to go in the game and finish level 5 (the impossible to finish one), save his sister and end the game.

Some of the most cringeworthy moments involved Grandpa Valentin Cortez (Ricardo Montalban in one of his last movies) as it looked kinda sad seeing an old man in a robot costume play along small kids. Sylvester Stallone looked like the only one who enjoyed working on this movie, while most of the other cast members seemed to go through the motions. The CGI was good, but I think that they spent more money on hiring the famous actors and the stunts than from the script.

In substance, not among the worst sequels ever but quite close thanks to lame acting, low brow humour and a bit of dullness.
