video is not too good - lots of snow in the picture (grainy) - 6
Audio is nice - 7
Movie itself is not half as good as the first part. maybe it's because I prefer Hilary Duff to that s club 7 girl that plays in this movie. She looks nice, admitted, but she's got less charm than Hilary.
Besides, imho Americans-going-to-Great-Britain-to-ridicule-the-British and villains-using-mindcontrolling-technology storylines have been used and abused to absolute death, this shit ain't funny any more, we've seen it so often, it's just boring.
The special appeal of the first Cody Banks movie was its UN-Bond-likeness, i.e., Cody was everything that James Bond is not. And that was funny. While in the sequel Cody is rather self-confident, so what we get here is just another James Bond in a slapstick comedy. And I hate slapstick. It's so artificial! Why does actually Hollywood make all black people look like idiots in its movies? It's so phucking discriminating! We are living in the 21st century, for god's sake, when will Hollywood finally recognise that?
And all those stupid cliches about the British! They don't behave that way! And why do all Americans end up at some lord's house or in the buckingham palace in Hollywood's movies? Why don't they go to Whitechapel or some other dirty place in London? Yeah, I know, it's dirty there, but it would be more realistic.
So my rating for the movie itself is 3
6/7/3
