In the end, one wonders if this sequel was truly necessary. With stronger writing and more impactful punches—both comedic and physical—this spy thriller could have been the riotous affair it intended to be.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 7, 2024

A solid-enough sequel. If you enjoyed the first, it’s worth your time on Prime Video.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 5, 2024

Dull and lifeless. A sequel no one was clamoring to see.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Aug 5, 2024

Lacks inspiration.

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 31, 2024

Those who can overlook the lack of charisma will find a barely watchable episodic film. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jul 30, 2024

My Spy: The Eternal City, will flatline you. The jokes fly past you but never land. The plot is messy without charm. And, my apologies for the pun but, the callbacks were a misdial.

| Jul 26, 2024

An awfully standard-issue example of this kind of strongman-plus-kid action-comedy fare.... It’s a pity that given a second shot, they haven’t come up with something better than this tired piece of hokum.

| Original Score: C- | Jul 25, 2024

My Spy The Eternal City benefits from Dave Bautista’s charisma and Chloe Coleman holding her own alongside him. This is a fun distraction during the summer that would have played well on the big screen in the pre-COVID days.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 25, 2024

The script is pretty shoddy, but The Eternal City scrapes by thanks to the comedy chops of its cast and some amusingly inept heroics, including a disastrous car chase and bird attack.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 22, 2024

Whatever comic gems you’re expecting from a cast like this never truly emerge; there’s too much going on, as “The Eternal City” lumbers from broad violence to treacly sentimentality.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 21, 2024

This film feels like a James Bond action adventure comedy for the younger set sprinkled with a little Sister Act action.  Yes, we have seen all of this before, but it won't stop audiences from having  some light fun while enjoying the absurdity of it all.

| Jul 20, 2024

This sequel to 'My Spy' successfully blends thrilling action, touching moments, and entertaining character interactions to deliver a steady stream of laughter.

| Jul 20, 2024

The first My Spy was lame and desperate and formulaic, but also popular, so the sequel is also lame and desperate and formulaic. It’s up to you whether it’s also popular, and I suggest doing your best not to make it so.

| Jul 19, 2024

This sequel is a superfluous and unnecessary IP extender, which might be okay if it wasn’t creating a problem for parents who have to explain to eight-year-olds why they should not see it.

| Original Score: C | Jul 18, 2024

Cheaply designed, poorly executed, and glued together by either mugging or the film’s need to tamper some of the over-the-top (and amusing) violence of the first in favor of a more grounded follow-up, there’s just not a whole lot to enjoy.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jul 18, 2024

The film settles into a generic groove that makes it seem at times like a “Spy Kids” movie minus the gizmos (and, therefore, most of the fun).

| Jul 18, 2024

I just wish someone had bothered to write a script for it that didn’t suck.

| Jul 18, 2024

If this is going to be a long-running franchise, and let’s hope that it is, My Spy: The Eternal City can be seen as a bump in the road.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 18, 2024

More mature and more fun than the first film, My Spy: The Eternal City offers higher stakes, bigger action sequences, and family drama. Chloe Coleman and Dave Bautista make a great team once again!

| Jul 18, 2024

Dave Bautista and Chloe Coleman return in this uninspired spy comedy.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 18, 2024
