Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

blumdeluxe "Inspector Gadget's last case" is a late addition to the Inspector Gadget series. In it, Gadget and his car are going through rough times when he gives up on his old Mobil, which is bought by the new but shady rising star of the investigator scene in town. Will anyone be able to stop the physically transformed criminals and the evil Dr. Claw? I am not really an expert when it comes to Inspector Gadget, in fact this is the first film of him that I ever saw, as far as I can remember. Thus, I can not say if the movie fits into the series, I will focus on it as an independent piece. Unfortunately, a lot of the times the gags are not really working. Some of them are so old that it's hard to bear (Yellow Snow.. giggles). The plot itself is not bad, even though it is highly predictable. Still the film doesn't get boring and although I found Gadget quite rude, I am sure that some children will be able to identify with parts of the script. Some of the jokes they won't understand, because there are some references especially for adult viewers but there are surely worse movies for children.All in all I am not really convinced, though. It was a nice watch, not more, and I don't see myself watching this a second time.

nightwing5000 this movie is awful! just awful! after this movie the show would be called gadget and the gadgetinis! can you believe this! gadget isn't even an inspector anymore! THE NAME OF THE CHARACTER IS NOT GADGET! IT'S INSPECTOR GADGET! and the theme song for the show that will come after this movie is not catchy at all! now there are some good parts but their just overshadowed by the bad moments! inspector gadget's last case: claws revenge. go go gadget malfunction. and if your wondering how i think of the movie that promoted this bad movie (which is inspector gadget 2) yeah don't even get me started on that one because trust me if you want to see a good inspector gadget movie go watch inspector gadget saves Christmas it's a lot more better than this.

Dan C. Inspector Gadget was probably my all-time favorite 80's cartoon. I enjoyed both the first and second seasons of the series as well as 1992's Christmas special "Inspector Gadget Saves Christmas". Some Gadget fans are quick to criticize the second season (1985) of the show, but they need to compare it to DiC's 2002 release of "Inspector Gadget's Last Case: Claw's Revenge" for then, they will find the second season to be absolute gold.Being a Gadget fan, I couldn't resist the opportunity to see the animated Inspector Gadget in something that wasn't Gadget Boy-related. I purchased the film, and I swore to myself that I'd be objective; I knew that sometimes artistic liberties would be taken from the original series. I was not even prepared for what I was about to watch.There was barely a shred of the original show still intact.Here is a short list of just some of the cons for this movie: *The humor is non-existent from the original series.*Penny and Brain (originally having a nearly equal part in the series as Gadget) are missing from the action for fifteen to twenty minute intervals.*The original music by Saban & Levy is not there, and the score that exists is sub-par. (Understood that Saban has his own production company now, but at least "Inspector Gadget Saves Christmas" had good music, even without Saban.) *Don't expect to see any of Gadget's gadgets which made the show so endearing, such as gadget-copter, gadget-brella, gadget-mallet,gadget-coat (which actually was used but it was not even called the same thing), as well as his standard other hat and hand gadgets. In this movie, his gadget legs were telescopic instead of springs. That kind of stuff annoys true fans of the show, and simply aren't necessary to change.*The gadgetmobile from the original series is now a fast-talking, supposedly "hip" convertible. All the fans from the original series enjoyed the gadgetmobile transforming into the gadget van and vice versa.*Chief Quimby is now very short-tempered and even mean to Gadget. He was always grumpy in the original series, but this pushes the situation a bit much.*Penny no longer has a computer book.Are there any positives to this movie? OK, here goes...*Maurice LaMarche does a good job of taking over for the great Don Adams as Inspector Gadget.*In one scene, Chief Quimby alludes to an actual villain from the cartoon series: the Great Wambini (classic "Gadget" villain from the second season, voiced by Louis Nye).Looking for more redeeming factors for this movie? Well, you're out of luck. Life is about making choices and living by those choices. Most situations in life have a purpose even if it is to teach a lesson. The lesson learned here: keep to the original formula! "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." True Gadget fans should steer clear from this movie; you will surely be disappointed.Hopefully, DiC and Shout! Factory will continue to release more of the original series after the 2006 release of "Inspector Gadget: The Original Series, Volume 1," containing the first 22 episodes of the series. As a true Gadget fan, lover of 80's animation and many of DiC's programs, I urge you the viewer to purchase "Inspector Gadget: The Original Series, Volume 1" and "Inspector Gadget Saves Christmas" DVD's which are excellent and sure to bring back good memories.

sokath This film essentially deals with Inspector Gadget's arch-nemesis Doctor Claw who has returned after many years to the now-peaceful city of Metropolis. Claw's plan is to foil Gadget once and for all by using a newer "cooler" crimefighter to help destroy Gadget's popularity. Sadly the film fails miserably, the series was great, but it was revived nearly 20 years later with tragic results. Without the voice of Don Adams as Inspector Gadget it just doesn't cut it anymore; Dr. Claw is not only visually less frightening, but sounds more like a wrestler with a cold, than his original intimidating self. Granted this is a children's movie, but the plot is so painfully weak (heaven forbid I mention the animation) that it pales in comparison to the original series. Someone has decided to updated Penny as well to bring her two decades up to speed, she now has some quasi-punk rebellious clothing style and doesn't play half the role that she did in the TV series. The Gadgetmobile talks, as well as including a plot angle that focuses entire ON talking cars. Maybe I'm just a kid who loved the show who's grown up jaded, but I thought that the live-action version was more pain than I could bear, but now they go and spring this complete watering-down of the quality TV series on us. It's more than I can take.
