Plots(1)
Super spy Lance Sterling and scientist Walter Beckett are almost exact opposites. Lance is smooth, suave and debonair. Walter is… not. Walter is a great mind but perhaps not a great socializer. What he lacks in social skills though, he makes up for in smarts and invention: Walter is the scientific genius who invents the gadgets Lance uses on his missions. But when events take an unexpected turn, Walter and Lance suddenly have to rely on each other in a whole new way. And if this odd couple can’t learn to work as a team, the whole world is in peril. (20th Century Fox)

Every once in a while it doesn't hurt to watch an animated film and Spies in Disguise is a winner (in fact, this may be the most I enjoyed an animated film since Zootropolis). The opening scene when agent Will Smith slaughters the entire Yakuza using spy gadgets is a blast and the line where he turns into a pigeon works too. The film has great visuals, a cool cadence of humor, good action, a great villain, working emotions, and most importantly a lot of original spy gadgets. Super fun for adults too.

Spies in Disguise doesn't offer anything particularly innovative in terms of the basic agent vs. villain storyline, but it does have a few original screenwriting ideas up its sleeve that certainly deserve attention. We simply haven't had an agent turned into a pigeon with a sidekick craving for cutely innocuous weapons. The film features more than one humorous scene, like the sequence with the pigeon squadron or the disarming of Kimura, and thanks to the characters of the agents and villains, it has an action-packed pace, so it passes nicely in the cinema. In the end, it would have been a weaker four stars, but it's because of the few offbeat ideas that I'll give it a raise in this case.

Another pretty generic fairy tale for the little ones. The boys might be entertained by the premise, and occasionally a scene goes well, but for adults it's very lacking. There's not the slightest effort, the humour is almost non-existent and the action is just average. One of the worse animated films.
