Rodriguez is stifled by repetitive choices.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The spy kids are back… again. Spy Kids: Armageddon is the fifth installment of the Spy Kids franchise following 2011’s Spy Kids: All the Time in the World. This time, we meet a new spy family out to save the world.

Spy Kids: Armageddon follows some overly familiar beats. We have a family that is part Latinx — Gina Rodriguez carries that torch, with Zachary Levi as her partner and father of her children, each of whom harbors opposing personalities. The children, just like Carmen and Junie, represent their parent's cultural backgrounds. Only Spy Kids: All the Time in the World broke this formula, though the visual dynamic of the family remained eerily similar.

The kids are precocious enough, but they aren’t given new or interesting material; they're just reworking the dynamics the OG spy kids had. Rodriguez and Levi are big, notable names, but neither hold a candle to the charisma and chemistry of Carla Gugino and Antonio Banderas.
