Dave Bautista’s My Spy 2 Is Trending High On Prime Video
The action comedy is popular among viewers despite its poor reviews
Unfortunately for Bautista, My Spy: The Eternal City is the lowest-rated movie of his career since the original My Spy was released.
As of the time of writing, My Spy: The Eternal City is currently ranked in the number 2 spot of Amazon Prime Video’s Top 10 List which, unlike Netflix, combines both movies and television series.

Compared to the 2020 original movie, My Spy: The Eternal City has a much lower Rotten Tomatoes critic score. The reviews for 2020’s My Spy were essentially split down the middle, with 48% of critics giving the film a positive review, while those of the My Spy sequel were far more critical, resulting in a Rotten Tomatoes critic score of just 28%. Unfortunately for Bautista, My Spy: The Eternal City is the lowest-rated movie of his career since the original My Spy was released.
