10 Awful Films Community Actors Want Us To Forget

The first three Spy Kids movies are beloved by those who grew up watching them and for good reason. It’s clear that director Robert Rodriguez genuinely cared about making a series of films that the whole family can enjoy and he certainly achieved that. He also intended for the third movie, Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over, to be the franchise’s final instalment. For a little while, at least.

Eight years after the third movie, Rodriguez decided to move ahead with a fourth entry. And to be honest, he probably shouldn’t have bothered.

Spy Kids 4 is a pale imitation of all the movies that came before it. Whereas the previous efforts all boasted genuinely funny and moving moments, this one relies almost entirely on gimmicky and unoriginal sequences to push its lacklustre plot along.

It went so far as to debut in the cinemas with “Smell O-Vision”, scratch and sniff cards that allowed audience members to smell what was happening on screen. But all most people will be able to smell is a franchise well out of ideas.
