Although it wasn't any good the 3rd 'Spy Kids' film at least wrapped the story up. It's surprising then that the director decided to go back and revisit the franchise with this sequel/reboot, that didn't really go down well with the public.
The main draw for me was seeing the original 'Spy Kids' (Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara) all grown up, and it was nice to see them assisting the new generation in a pass the torch way.
Unfortunately the plot isn't strong enough, and the new 'Spy Kids' aren't half as endearing. Jeremy Piven chews scenery in his role, and the less said about Ricky Gervais as a talking dog the better.
This film was perhaps meant to start a new series, but it ended up being an odd final outing for the franchise.
