If I told you a movie was coming out with Will Smith and Tom Holland you would be excited, right? What if I told you it was a spy adventure...? Now you're really excited! But wait, it's animated and for kids. Okay, not so exciting. This was my thought when I first saw the trailer thumbnail for Spies In Disguise. Then I watched it, and it looked surprisingly good. The movie itself is an 1 hour and 41 minutes. It won't blow your socks off, but it will give you a few laughs and won't bore you to death. A lot of the humor is for kids, but I found an adequate amount of humor for adults as well. The voice cast is great. Tom Holland, Will Smith, Ben Mendelsohn, Rashida Jones, Karen Gillan, and more. The overall idea of the movie is a fun concept, and depending on box offices numbers, sequels are likely. Go into this movie with low expectations and you'll be pleasantly surprised. Rating: 7/10 One-word: Amusing Parents: Very mild, one scene with a butt.

This movie had a lot riding on it and J.J. was tasked with a daunting challenge, but he delivered in an incredible way. The movie is a little under two and a half hours, which worked, but I would've loved more. The films first task is finding its footing and it does that rather quickly. Once that happens, the adventure begins and doesn't stop. If you love battles, spaceships, lightsabers, surprises, and action...then you will be thrilled with this movie. J.J., ILM, and the rest of the team have made an incredibly beautiful movie with daring shots. In his likely last outing as composer for Star Wars, John Williams, delivers a lovely score with Rey's theme sticking out. The acting is completely on point, with Daisy Ridley, Oscar Issac, and Adam Driver being particularly great! As you can see, I love Star Wars. These characters have worked for ...
