Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

mariomurderer111-1 I really enjoyed watching this. There are 2 Inspector Gadget movies, the first one was made in 1999. This is the second one, but it doesn't continue from the 1st since it is a different director and it was released straight to DVD. This film is an alternative to the second film. If you didn't like the first film and wanted it to be more like the cartoons, then this one is for you. I liked both IG movies. This film introduces a new robot - IG2. The movie has an entire different cast, and Dr Claw's face is hardly ever seen like in the cartoons Nice special effects too, with a cartoon-like "let's stop the bad guys" ending. I find it funny and enjoyable.

David Robertson I had high expectations when I heard about IG2, but I was not disappointed.Okay, maybe some things weren't from the original cartoon (the Gadgetmobile talks again, and Chief Quimby doesn't have a moustache), but the film did stay true to the original cartoon series (which is now on DVD in Australia), from the hiding of Claw to the classic slapstick humour. And of course, it was filmed in Australia! French Stewart (3rd Rock from the Sun) really brought Gadget to life, and Caitlin Wachs (Commander in Chief) was great as Penny. She was my favourite performance in the film. I thank Alex Zamm for creating a film that actually stays true to the cartoon, and a film that will keep me entertained when I watch it.

general-melchett This film is no masterpiece, but I didn't hate it either. In fact, many a time did I watch it when I was younger - and I honestly enjoyed it. It is a B-movie, with no cinema run, but is free from the clichés of the genre - no cheesy sound or visual effects, no rubbishy acting and no hideously contrived plot. I found this film hilariously funny - and it actually conveys a sense of mystery - what did happen to Claw's face? This film was obviously done on a high budget for a film of its calibre - none of the effects look hideously cheap. The time-stopping sequence may have been no Oscar contender, but it certainly was not the worst I've seen. The movie is very predictable, but all movies are these days - and Inspector Gadget 2 is about the gadgets and fun, and on that scale, it delivers. When Gadget cleaned the toilets and was thrown across the entire police station when his brush went erratic ranks amongst the funniest things I have ever seen - and that's up against some heavy competition.The film does contain some original ideas - to have a female Gadget who was a huge rival to Inspector Gadget was a very good idea, and the main premise for the movie. It is fun trying to watch Inspector Gadget win her heart, and though there aren't any Oscar-worthy performances to be seen, there is some character in this film, and it is hugely funny. Another cracking idea was to have Claw's new base at a bowling centre - makes a change from the multi-million dollar headquarters in the first one. And another great idea was to have Inspector Gadget as a bit of a bumbling imbecile instead of the hero in the first one - it worked well, and actually added to his charm. He also got sacked in this one - it happens halfway through or so, but it doesn't take a genius to know that he's going to rise again. Which he does.Though it is predictable and no masterpiece, Inspector Gadget 2 is an absolutely hilarious film and beats the first one hands down - it will have you in stitches. Good, but not quite spiffing - Inspector Gadget 2 is not a letdown, and certainly not a cheap, nasty looking one. (The gold deposit actually looked really convincing - but I'm sure they didn't have to spend $5,000,000,000,000 on it (as it said in the film) or even have to bother getting a real gold bar.) And on the visual scales alone, it delivers. A good film, and one that I strongly recommend if you have any sense of humour whatsoever. 8/10

Bob Greenwade (bobgreenwade) I just saw this movie on DVD. Having previously seen the original, and been a fan of the original cartoon series, I was itching to see what was done.Only one cast member from the first movie returned for this one: D. L. Hughly as the voice for the Gadgetmobile. French Stewart takes the title role from Matthew Broderick, and while Matthew's performance was one of the few weak performances of his career French nails the character dead-on. Tony Martin similarly nails The Claw over Rupert Everett's less-than-menacing performance. As for Caitlin Wachs versus Michelle Trachtenberg as Penny, I think the two are closely matched.And in nearly every way, Elaine Hendrix is unbeatable in the role of G2.Director Alex Zamm sought to bring the sequel closer in feel to the original series, and he achieves this with aplomb. The Inspector's enthusiastic idiocy, with Penny tagging along to bail him out, is the theme in what turns into a smörgåsbord of slapstick, visual puns, and other goodness.Personally, I would have preferred to keep the "real name" of John Brown used in the first film (for scenes where using the name would have been logical, including the deleted "Penny at school" scene), but that's the only substantial change I would have suggested.Not that the film is without weaknesses. Some "bits," such as the unfortunate toilet-cleaning scene, could have been substantially shortened, and a couple of the deleted scenes (seen on the DVD) would have helped the movie flow a little better. But on the whole it's a fun romp fit for the whole family.
