| Eclipse MagazineSean O'ConnellThe condensed production schedule results in a slender story for Spy Kids 2, though the chemistry of the leads remains intact. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Kevin CourrierBlissfully entertaining sequel to last year's Spy Kids, Rodriguez is once again just as good -- if not better -- than the gadgets at hand. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisLike a whacked pinata, it spills over with treasures - and one of the best things to fall out is Steve Buscemi, doing a riotously meek variation on the mad-scientist-with-cracked-lenses-and-lab-coat bit. |
| Orlando SentinelRoger MooreThough it's competently made, Spy Kids 2 is a classic example of the too hasty sequel, a movie with few ideas and no heart. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.Rodriguez tends to learn from his mistakes and made a truly superior film to the first. |
| Associated PressChristy LemireRodriguez seems to be trying too hard to cram in too much - more gadgets, more characters, more noise, more color. But bigger, brighter and faster isn't necessarily better. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliHas once again caught lightning in a bottle and unleashed it on audiences, blending humor, adventure, and a lot of nifty special effects-enabled gadgets and creatures into a movie that provides 1 1/2 hours of unfettered entertainment for children, grandparents, and everyone in between. |
| New York PostLou LumenickHas enough heart and smarts to recommend it as one of the season's worthier family entertainments. |
| New York Daily NewsJami BernardIt's a wonderfully silly family movie that holds its audience in high regard. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonA children's movie done with genuinely youthful spirit and an easy self-kidding mastery of its own high-tech gadgetry. |
