Ok, I’m just going to come out and say it, Spy Kids is the best film franchise ever. Period. Forget about your Star Wars or your MCU, nothing can compete with the master craft films Robert Rodriguez has directed.
If you haven’t seen the spy kids movies I suggest you do so before reading this, all four are on Netflix and you must watch them all. You’ll thank me after you do because they are truly life altering. The films blend together a mixture of tension and comedy beautifully, and offer many life lessons along the way.
To begin, the main character, and yes I’m calling him the main character because screw you carmen, Juni, is easily the best fictional character every conceived. Name one other fictional who has a cooler name than Juni Rocket Racer Rebel Cortez, I dare you. And he’s a total ladies man easily winning the heart of the president daughter in the second movie, and Demetra in the third movie. Unfortunately he forgot to get Demetra’s email but you get the point, the dude is a total badass.
Moving on Juni isn’t the only good character, in fact I challenge you to try and name a bad one. Even Gary Giggle who is an idiot, is very well written. But I’d like to focus less on the characters and more on the actors in the films.
Antonia Banderas, Carla Gugino, Danny Trejo, Alan Cumming, George Clooney, Mr.Steve Buscemi, Selema Gomez, Jessica Alba, Sylvester Stallone and many many more. My point is that if these A list celebrities are in the movies, it must be good. That’s the rule.
In conclusion, fuck you Marvel, you copied the Iron Man suit from Spy Kids 3
