not bad,but not as good as the original
in many ways,i thought this movie was not as good as the 1st.yes,it is
truer to the animated show in many respects.in fact,id say it is too true to the cartoon.in this case,the cartoon does not translate too well into live action.in the 1st,they veered away from the cartoon quite a bit and that worked for me.in this movie, "Dr Claw" seemed way too over the top and not in a good way.the character sounded more stupid than anything.i think they tried too hard to make him seem evil and instead made him a caricature.the henchmen were dimwitted,just like the cartoon,but that seemed to work in this movie.most of the humour is of the type that young kids would find funny,but most adults probably wouldn't.as for the title character,i found he was was too idiotic(it worked in the cartoon,but not here),at 1st,but after awhile he became somewhat endearing.there are few things a liked about the movie.i liked the fact that Penny had a bigger role to play,and i also liked the fact that Gadget had some competition/decent romantic interest.overall,though,i didn't think this movie measured up to the original.though it had its moments.for me "Inspector Gadget 2" is a 6.5/10. 
My family and I loved this film!!! Much better than the first one.
My family and I loved this film. It was funny, outrageous and much truer
in spirit to the original cartoon series. We liked it a lot better than the first one and thought French Stewart sounded and acted a lot more like the cartoon Gadget. G2 was a nice addition and thought that the romance between she and Gadget had real spark. The special effects were great and the whole movie was a fun, wild ride that was really entertaining. Two thumbs up!. |
