In this story a sixteen year old boy who is also a CIA, Cody is now on another mission. He have to save everyone with his new friends Derek and Emily. I think this movie was not so good as the first part. Anyway I liked it a little bit. I suggest this movie to all to watch it. I think everyone should go for it. It is good for one time watch.

Some movies are best not made into a sequel, but with Cody Banks 2, producers could have gone anywhere because number 1 had no loose ends to tie up. Hmm... so the whole idea of spies and secret agents may not appeal to some people, especially the fact that the spies are 16 year old kids. But for a secret agent movie it was quite cool. If you're looking for more action, go seem James Bond! This is a movie basically for 'kids',and I doubt it was ever meant to keep the adults really enthralled. I think they chose the right actors and actresses - yeah the weird Diaz and co are a little... well... weird, but they're the baddies for goodness sake!

This time around Cody Banks is at a summer camp training program for the C.I.A. and one night helicopters come in and attack. Banks thinks its a practice mission only to find it was real and that his camp trainer was a bad guy and the helicopters had came for him. He then is sent to London to join a musical group and find out information on a bad guy who is married to the conductor. He soon learns that his C.I.A. trainer is over there and he and the bad guy are working on devices to have brain control over humans. This time he has a partner who sticks by his side posing as a cook and soon finds out one of his band mates is a secret agent as well.Much better than the first one, but still was a let down. This time around Banks seemed a little more grown up and his partner played by Anderson did a great job with one liners, in fact the whole cast was better than the original. There was lots more comedy. Much better music and the director seemed to aim more at the story than the action, which is good in a kids film. The director shot it as if it were a drama dealing more with character as opposed to the director in part 1 which tried hard to shoot it as a hard action film. All and all it was a better film, but it still was just for kids and lacked anything appealing to anyone over the age of 15.As I said direction was better from a guy trying to prove him self and did a good job, but haven't seen much else from him after this. Much of the same cast was back Keith David, Daniel Roebuck, etc. New comers included Anthony Anderson and I thought he made this movie great, always been a fan of his and his one liners. I really liked the music better too, not only was the score better but they added some decent rock songs including Rancids "Fall Back Down".I must say this James Bond wanna be was about the same as the first one and was short on action and heavier on gadgets. It would be a good film to watch for a younger audience and it's very kid friendly, but adults wouldn't enjoy it too much. 3/10 stars

Seems quite a few people have given this film a bad rap. Well, let's take a different look at it.My younger children, my wife and I watched this film and enjoyed it. We recently rented the first Cody Banks flick. We didn't preview it but there were some scenes in it that were disturbing to our smaller children. This wasn't the case with Cody Banks 2. It puzzles me why this movie got such a low rating.(Film rating is a bit of a beef of mine. Movies today have so many different aspects to consider: Score, Content, Character Development, Pacing, Editing, etc. And 1 star is so unfair.)I gave a higher rating because this film was toned down from the original. The childish tone was intentional to contrast it with the very "mature" feel of the first movie. It's more like a family Disney movie: The violence is stylized with humor that's better understood by children. The score is very playful throughout.The camera work is fine and the plot is something younger children can understand and appreciate. Hey: it's really a spy comedy.My wife and I felt it was an all round better film than the first. We recommend it for families that watch films together. Rent it before you buy.
