I Spy Ratings & Reviews
- jackmeatJuly 14, 2025My quick rating - 5.4/10. A fairly effective buddy movie, this time Owen Wilson is the second rate spy and he gets assigned to work with Floyd Maywe......I mean Eddie Murphy, the 'more mouth than talent' boxer who is undefeated and is the CIA's ticket into an event in Hungary to stop the sale of a top-secret plane. This includes bad guy Malcolm McDowell as the one who stole it and is peddling it off to the highest bidder. Joining the spy team, which I don't even think they ever gave a name to, so I went with CIA, is Famke Janssen, and I'll leave it at that. There is all your usual spy fun, double crosses, high and low tech gadgets, and plenty of wisecracks. Overall, their chemistry works fine, but the relationship is very rushed in its formation and the coming and going of it. If you watch, you'll see what I mean. It is just real quick, ok, friends, now not, now friends again kind of thing, and the movie is too short for so many of these transitions. Also, unfortunately, the plot is very predictable, so even though the cast is stellar, the story itself just isn't. Still a good time waster.
- 匚卂尺ㄥFebruary 12, 2025If you like Eddie Murphy being Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson being Owen Wilson then you will probably enjoy I-Spy, otherwise it's just a run of the mill spy comedy with a few decent laughs, a wafer thin plot and some nice views of Hungry
