Unfortunately, it's much of the same and it isn't very good.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 28, 2023

Connor Esterson and Everly Cargarnilla as the titular mini heroes are perfect... the best special effects of the movie. [Full review in Spanish]

| Oct 25, 2023

A weak movie in a franchise that should never have gone past one sequel, Spy Kids: Armageddon is not good at all.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Oct 3, 2023

It's been 22 years since the original movie and whatever might have once seemed fresh and funny about the whole "Spy Kids" universe has long since rotted away.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 3, 2023

The kids will likely have a lot of fun watching this movie. After all, they are the target demographic. But objectively, this is a derivative, uninspired sequel that does not hold a candle to the originals.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Oct 1, 2023

“Spy Kids: Armageddon” does a good job rebooting the franchise for the newer generations. It does pay homage to the original trilogy while also introducing new ideas and adventures. It’s engaging & funny...adventure...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 29, 2023

It’s not going to reinvent the kids’ movie wheel by any means, but if you’re willing to engage with the film on its level, you’ll find a lot of fun to be had.

| Original Score: B | Sep 29, 2023

This cute romp is the very definition of family entertainment.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 28, 2023

It sadly feels like there’s just no more fresh ground to cover with this latest Spy Kids.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 27, 2023

Parents may find the authority swap a tad uncomfortable, especially because the takeaway seems to be that your kids will only be successful in this world if you give them unfettered access to technology.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 26, 2023

Spy Kids: Armageddon is fun enough to sit through for a light-hearted adventure.

| Sep 26, 2023

Twelve years after the last Spy Kids movie, Robert Rodriguez goes for a full reboot. It's just as cartoonish, with wacky effects and an absurd plot. But the cast is hilariously up for it, delivering funny zingers while diving into the physical chaos.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 26, 2023

One is tempted to soft-pedal criticism for Spy Kids: Armageddon, considering its target audience is still in the early stages of brain development. But the best family movies exhibit effortless cross-generational appeal that this one lacks.

| Sep 26, 2023

Released during Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15- Oct. 15), it's a fun, fantastical, family-friendly addition to Robert Rodriguez's multi-cultural franchise.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 25, 2023

Spy Kids: Armageddon revives the Spy Kids franchise for another adventure, capturing the spirit of the original and capitalizing on nostalgia but failing to add anything particularly new or noteworthy to the series.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 25, 2023

Spy Kids: Armageddon feels at home in the franchise and legion of Rodriguez films. It has flaws, but none outweigh the enjoyment of the latest strange villain being thwarted by the newest spy kids.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 25, 2023

Spy Kids: Armageddon recaptures the magic for a new generation.

| Sep 25, 2023

With new material, Rodriguez can have a mega-hit like Spy Kids again; unfortunately, he is stifled by the same flat ideas and repetitive choices.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 25, 2023

This is not a good movie. It looks cheap, and AI could have written the script based on a synopsis for the first four installments.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 23, 2023

Fails to capitalize on the tantalizing wacky premise of a world where everyone must interact with a video game to use technology, with monumentally hideous CGI

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Sep 23, 2023
