But here's the thing, that's not Spy Kids. That's Spy Kids 3. It does not get to hide behind its older siblings for protection.

Personally, Spy Kids 3 will never be as good as the first one (and we don't talk about that awful fourth one that was basically a horrible reboot), but I loved the ever loving hell out of Spy Kids 3. Obviously the Augmented Reality theme had been tried before, but I still found the visuals, some of the plot, and… well, mainly the visuals were very entertaining to me. Though, I was 5 or 6 the first time I saw it, so I'd have to see how it holds up. It certainly drove me imagination wild for a short time after seeing it, though.
