Review of Spy Kids

Spy Kids (2001)
Rodriguez is a great man.
19 April 2001
People might think that because the film is called spy kids only kids will enjoy it but that's wrong I'm 19 and I went to see it with my mum and we both had a very relaxing time watching it.

I mostly wanted to see it because I like Rodriguez movies and I think that this film is one of is best work for many reason.

Even if the plot is quite simple,(spy kidnaped only their kids can save them.)Rodriguez had put a very original and I'm sure personal touch into it (imagine bond on a mission in wonderland and you have the picture.) and because of that he changed the story of a kid film into a great and fun film for all ages.

I think that on a family film the most important is the casting.I just think that a family film with bad kids actors in it can be hell to watch but the kids actor are great in that film and they look so natural.A special thumbs up to Daryl Sabara as Juni(who deliver the best moments of the film)I sure hope to see him in many other films to come.

The adults actors are also very good.Antonio Banderas is very funny and touching as the father who is dying to make is son proud of him.Alan Cumming was a great choice to play Fegan Floop because there is somme kind of Willy Wonka look to him.It was also nice to see George Clooney at the end of the film.

Danny Elfman did a very nice soundtrack for the film that is also completely different(in a pleasant way of course!!)from is previous work,the only time it's pure Danny Elfman style in the film is at the Fegan Floop song.

It was a long time that their wasn't any good family film so thank you Robert Rodriguez I was waiting for a film like that in a long time. Their is rumors about a sequel if those rumors are true I sure hope that Rodriguez will do it,Is just great at doing that kinds of films.
