BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

cherryriverfisher Good movie. I've watched it since it came out, when I was 3. I think the movie is better than the tv series.

Armand easy comedy, adaptation of cartoons but very far by original, a too long joke. so, nothing special. the only problem is the ambition to be nice. because too many scenes are unrealistic at whole, absurd and fake. because the humor is to easy to define it as comedy. but, sure, for fun, only for fun without complications , it is a not bad choice.the second problem is the cast. Rupert Everett and Matthew Broderick are not the ideal option for a film about...nothing. so, only the conscience of chaotic work by director, the money and the need to give few drops of sense are excuses for this version. not the last,it remains the disappointment than it could be a decent movie. for entire family. but , maybe, it was not the team intention.

jfarms1956 Inspector Gadget is a movie for those 13 and older and who like the slapstick comedy movies. No one said that it had to be like the cartoon and it really isn't. It is difficult to take a cartoon and make it into a movie. Everybody has different expectations as to the storyline and the character development. It is a story in its own right. It is a good movie for the family to watch together and get a good laugh. Matthew Broderick always reminds me of Ferris Bueller. So, his comedy is similar. It is an entertaining movie and goes well with either popcorn or pizza and a soda. So enjoy the movie for its entertaining value to put a smile on your face and have you forget about your troubles during the flick. Can't really ask for more of a comedy.

jasongibbonsxxx This movie is not that great, but it's not terrible either. The rating is probably fair here, about a 4 out of 10. Matthew Broderick isn't really an Inspector Gadget type he is cast wrong here, but I like him in everything I've seen him in. I'm a bit surprised they made a sequel because I didn't think this movie made much money but I guess it must have. The sequel is easily worse and it's too bad because I like the actor who played Inspector Gadget in that one. It's not much at all like the cartoon Inspector Gadget. I like that they tried to do this it just didn't turn out very great. The end of my review is right here and right now.
