Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Alex Harries Although this might appeal to the under 10's, it is just embarrassing to watch this film of how cheesy it can be at points. I know its mean;t for children as I have said above, but this film just feels like it belongs no-where. When looking at the cast I thought this was going to be a bad film. Even looking at the title, i new it was just going to be awful. So the effects of this film are terrible, they look like some bloody cheap crap. Their are many films around 2003 with better Effects and use of CGI. Like a kid would be recruited by the CIA, and men with the words CIA Written on the back of their clothing. Its pathetic.1/10

Shevy1103 I realize this is a movie for kids, but it was the only decent thing on TV so I watched it. It was OK I guess, nothing more, nothing less. I don't remember much of it though.The acting by both Frankie Muniz and Hilary Duff was pretty good. The concept of the movie, or the plot if you will, was more than a bit unrealistic. Other than that the plot was good. I had a few laughs, there were some good action scenes, and some very good ones as well.As I said the acting was pretty good. Arnold Vosloo did a great job in the role of Molay, the bad guy. I think Mr. Vosloo might be born to play bad guys. I mean you see him in «The Mummy», «Chuck», «Blood Diamond». He is a natural! Anyhow, It is probably good enough for young teens, but I don't think it will be a big hit with other people. It gets 4 mediocre stars out of a possible 10 from me. See you later, alligator.Shevy

karthik-globalsoul (Karthik Narayan) A kid becoming a Junior CIA Agent? That is surely something cute and worth watching – a teenager going beyond everyday problems of homework and cleaning their lockers and rooms and taking on higher problems like assassins, gangsters. Picture that at one end, and consider this for the other side of the story: CIA agents doing the kid's homework and house cleaning! The tagline for the movie says it all: save the world, get the girl, pass math… The whole theme is hilarious, Frankie Muniz (best known for his "Malcolm in the Middle" TV series) as Cody Banks is funny and down to earth. He is your average teenager, definitely not your super hero type and has this very normal issue of talking to girls (any teenaged boy's nightmare). Hillary Duff looks pretty as Cody's love interest and is cast purely for that, I guess, since she doesn't do much apart from looking cute.When a super villain plans to use a scientific invention to destroy the world, it is left to Agent Cody Banks to try and stop him. En route, he has to face his biggest challenge – overcome his shyness and ask a girl out. And it's not just any other girl – it's the daughter of the scientist who is on the good side but has been held captive.It's a special day in the office for Cody Banks and Co – with a beautiful partner, cool gizmos to work with and best of all, to get a pretty girl as a girlfriend! Any teenager's heaven, I am sure.The best part of the film is that it is a fresh concept, is funny, even though the baddies try to be extra bad. (Yeah, it's a tough world for baddies in kids' movies) plus its by a director (Harald Zwart) who, with all due respect to him, was a nobody in Hollywood before this film. Now he is "BANK"-ing on this movie franchise and is directing the next Pink Panther movie.The not so good part is that storyline is as predictable as it gets. Plus, some of the stunts are too much for a teenager to perform, and some parts are not explained at all. Overall, it felt like a Hollywood movie dished out in Bollywood style in some parts.A good kid's movie provided you watch it without thinking ahead of the plot.Rating: 6/10

g-bodyl I thought that this movie was awesome. The beginning and the middle parts are the best parts of the film. I like the skateboard chase, the idea of the Junior CIA, and when boy meets girl and makes a fool of himself(at first). There is great chemistry between Frankie Muniz and Hilary Duff. They are actors I normally don't like, but they are great in this film. The special effects are cool and the stunts are fairly good. The evil guy was playing his part of evil and so were his sidekicks. A lot of people including critics are ripping off this movie. Don't listen to the critics because the film is great, mark my words! I rate this movie 8/10.
