Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London

This is a funny & action packed movie. You can tell nobody that reviewed this was a kid when they saw it. This franchise is remembered fondly by millenials. I think the 2nd was way better than the first.

Not a bad sequel but not that fantastic.

The sequel that should have never been made..

One of my favorite movies of all time. It never gets old.

Agent Cody Banks 2 does some things better than its predecessor (I do think the titular character plays better off of Anthony Anderson's character than the no-nonsense Angie Harmon character from the previous film) and it does have its share of good scenes (mainly when the summer orchestra students start singing Franklin Starr's War, even if they reminded me that I would rather be watching the Rush Hour trilogy instead) but its cringey humour, lighter tone, eyeroll-inducing product placement and more poorly-edited action sequences make Destination London just another lame spy film released to cash in on Spy Kids (I know, I know, as opposed to the first film).

A masterpiece of social and economic criticism deeply digging into the capitalist ideals that so parade around the entire studio mindset that has produced this, beautiful film. Like said in Hail Caesar, writers try and get socialist content into films, this is a example of a writer doing just that. The acting and directing is terrible and not fitting in with the pure underlying themes of Marxism woven so perfectly into the film. A shame a less mainstream studio didn't produce it.

What the flip happened? The first movie was so good and Hilary duff brought everything to that movie and in this sequel they totally forgot about her most likely on purpose because she's too busy making so much money with Disney but man. They should've known that without her this movie would suck and ultimately it did suck. I was legit waiting for her to make a cameo at least during this entire movie but nope it never happened. I'm deeply disappointed in this and this movie deserved to bomb at the box office.

At least the cast looked like they had fun making it. Otherwise this movie is a stinker.

Banksrupt. See what I did there? Humour. Not very good, but better than anything on offer here. England, it appears, is a National Trust property populated by ludicrous toffs and spivs. The black guy is a borderline offensive racial joke. The scientists are all wacky. There is a performing dog. And finally, there is Keith Allen doing a bad American accent. Truly, truly awful.
