Purely Joyful Movie!

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

ISLAND OF LOST DREAMS is the second of the SPY KIDS franchise from director Robert Rodriguez and every bit as silly and juvenile as the first, unfortunately. The kids from the first film return to contend with a new bad guy and his army of sinister science projects. There are weird creations, monsters, and even a couple of doppleganger clones at one point. Sadly, it's a film that suffers from a lowest-common-denominator script and plenty of absolutely appalling CGI effects, particularly the WILLOW-inspired sea monsters, which I'm astonished to see in a mainstream film (apparently because it's a kid's film, it's okay to include them). The only interesting part of this, for me, is the chance to see cameoing adult actors, including the welcome likes of Bill Paxton, Danny Trejo, and Steve Buscemi, but their presence isn't enough to make this anything other than juvenile nonsense.

The second adventure for mini-spies Carmen and Juni Cortez (Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara), Island of Lost Dreams displays plenty of energy and creativity, plus a few nods towards classic fantasy films of yesteryear, and yet it doesn't work quite as well as its predecessor by attempting to cram far too much into proceedings.In addition to the characters returning from the original film (the Cortez kids, Gregorio and Ingrid Cortez, Uncle Machete, Felix, Fegan Floop and Alexander Minion), we also get a pair of rival spy kids, Gary and Gertie Giggles (Matt O'Leary and Emily Osment), a crazy scientist, Romero (Steve Buscemi), who creates bizarre freaks of nature by splicing together different animal genes, Gregorio Cortez's disapproving in-laws (played by Holland Taylor and Ricardo Montalban), Gary and Gertie's evil father Donnagan (Mike Judge), the President of the USA (Christopher McDonald) and his neglected (Taylor Momsen) daughter (Taylor Momsen), and theme park owner, Dinky Winks (Bill Paxton). With so many characters fighting for valuable screen time, there's scant time dedicated to telling a decent story, particularly with director Robert Rodriguez also keen to stuff in as many poorly rendered CGI set-pieces as humanly possible. In fact, there's so much going on, that poor old Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino, back again as Carmen and Juni's parents, are relegated to an unnecessary subplot about Gregorio failing to live up to the in-laws expectations.Still, if you're a fan of old-style monster movies, then the Harryhausen-inspired creatures that inhabit the titular island might go some way to make up for the incoherent plot, and some of the film's wackier visual moments (the crazy theme park; Carmen and Juni's endless drop down a volcano shaft) are inventive enough to be entertaining despite their inherent silliness.If you're a fan of the first film, there's probably enough good stuff to warrant a watch; just don't expect this sequel to be as consistently amusing as the first film.
