3/10. When a scientist (Martin Donovan) invents a formula that spawns microscopic robots who can eat through anything, an evil mastermind (Ian McShane) wants control over this invention to gobble through defense systems, leaving American open for assault. The CIA (including Keith David, Darrell Hammond, and Angie Harmon) needs an operative to get in tight with the scientist, so they call on special agent Cody Banks (Frankie Muniz) to attempt to form a bond with the scientist's daughter, Natalie (Hilary Duff). An average 15-year-old boy who was trained in the deadly arts at CIA summer camp, Banks uses his skills to help take down the criminal kingpin, falling in love with Natalie along the way.
Personally, this movie stunk. Let me explain. I watched the trailers for the movie, and they looked pretty good, but they took the whole point of the movie and shoved it into 1.5 minutes. Then you go to the movie, and it's almost boring. I didn't laugh a lot. It was just a sit through.
I think Muniz in Big Fat Liar was a lot better than this. At least it was funnier. In Cody Banks, the one joke I remember that I thought was funny was the X-Ray glasses. If you get my drift, you can guess what he did with them. I've never heard of Hilary Duff up until now. I never watched Lizzie McGuire, but I somehow recognized her. The other actors, I've never really heard of.
This movie seemed like a big rip off of the NEWER James Bond movies. Cody was dependent on gadgets most of the time.
I've read many people's opinions of this movie, and most agree that it was a letdown. See it if you've got kids cause they'll like it better than you.
