Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004)

A Masterpiece!

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

What was the reason for the sequel!? The first was bad enough, but well scripted; for other hand, this sequel was abysmal, leaving gaping holes in the connected storyline from the first to this one, and the unlikely action scenes are unbelievably stupid, not to mention the kiddy style used by the bad guys. A spray that knocks you out is the kind of thing I'm talking about. What happened to Natalie (Hilary Duff) from the first film? She dumped Cody? Now replaced by Emily (ex-SClub7 member, Hannah Spearritt). The chemistry between Emily and Cody was poor, he is 18-year-old and she is 23-year-old...without doubt, Emily looked like a real cougar with Cody. And Anthony Anderson as Cody's mentor was more distracting than funny. The end of this sequel was very bad: when Derek says goodbye to Cody, leaves an open ending for a possible third sequel that never happened. Way-too Hollywood. Come to think of it, way-too stupid as well. The fact that this sequel it is a film exclusive for kids is no excuse for it being so bad.P.S.: If anyone thinks that Emily was better than Natalie Connors, because the actress has 23-year-old; go watch and prefer instead a better 23-year-old heroine, Kazumi Hoshikawa/Five Pink, from the Japanese TV show "Chikyu Sentai Fiveman" (1990), a Power Rangers-like series, and make your conclussions.

Rushed sequel to the 2003 surprise hit "Agent Cody Banks"; this one flopped at the box office and effectively terminated any plans for a series. Teenagers in an undemanding mood might still go for it, but adults may not be so forgiving. Though the cast tries, and there are a few cute and amusing moments, the film is overall uninspired and by-the-numbers. Even the London footage doesn't add much. ** out of 4.

Agent Cody Banks (Frankie Muniz) is at CIA camp. When helicopters come, he camp director Diaz escape. It turns out CIA was trying to capture Diaz for stealing a mind control chip. Now Banks has to go to London as an undercover musical prodigy to get close to a scientist who Diaz needs to perfect a mind control device. Banks gets a new wisecracking handler Derek (Anthony Anderson).I don't usually like Anthony Anderson, and I really really don't like him here. He's more annoying than usual. And going to London does nothing but create a whole bunch of idiotic stereotypes. Hannah Spearritt seems a bit to old to be a teen. As far as the production, it looks like a bad TV show inside the London residence. Cody Banks is a silly little teen movie. So that's to be expected in the sequel. But this is too silly. It doesn't even maintain the already low expectations.

Just want to clarify something, it may seem petty to most, but it's not. Actress Leilah Isaac's character Sabeen remembers Waheed Murad. In the movie, Sabeen says: "And I'm Waheed Murad." This entices all to ask "what?" to which she replies, "Famous Indian actor." Waheed Murad never worked in an Indian film, but appeared in over a 100 Lollywood (Pakistani film industry) films from the 1960s to the '80s.Waheed Murad was one of Pakistan's most famous and loved actor's, so it was a bit of a surprise to hear him being referred to as Indian. Thank You.
