20 Worst Movies Of 2023
10. Spy Kids: Armageddon
Not content to merely inflict the Ben Affleck-starring Inception knock-off Hypnotic upon us in 2023 - a film which just barely missed making this list - Robert Rodriguez went back to the well and rebooted his much-loved Spy Kids franchise for Netflix. The horror, the horror.
The year's categorical "Why, though?" movie, Spy Kids: Armageddon listlessly rehashes the much-loved family-friendly action-adventure franchise to grossly diminishing turns, while teasing out career-worst performances from both Zachary Levi and Gina Rodriguez.
It's not cute, it's not funny, the action stinks, and it looks obscenely cheap. There's just nothing creative or even basically thoughtful here - just a filmmaker reheating their prior successes for a new generation.
