Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

TeenzTen An action-packed slog

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

t_atzmueller This is not so much a review as it is to the confession of a crime; a tale of theft, an unreturned VHS-tape, left at the rental-return but not properly shoved into the slot and having taking said film home to be watched for free.See, it was the middle of the night, the shop long closed and the label of said videotape said "Lawnmover Man 2". Having been a huge fan of the first part, I couldn't resist grabbing the tape, dragging it home and shoving it into the player. Even acquired a litre of plonk wine (back then favoured by impoverished students) to celebrate the joyous occasion of finally seeing a sequel.The plonk didn't help it, the bottle empty before the second half of the film, upon which I ended this farce and pressed first the "stop", then the "eject" bottom. Returned the VHS to said return-slot the same night, not wanting to have it at home and fearing that a trash bin would reject the tape.And, if whoever had to pay late-fees for this tape happens to read this review: consider this the price of an education. One doesn't rent crap like that! No points from me and the obligatory one point that IMDb gives it.

grahamjaroslow Yes, it may be one of the worst films ever made, yes its incredibly dated, but it still has the futurama appeal of the 1st movie however, unlike the first this is far less intellectual (not to say V1 was), but since a couple things in this wont come to pass for a couple years now, i reaken the best time to watch this would be somewhere around 2011 on a computer hooked up to a pair of those $1000 glasses with a projector built in while using something like the emotive headset (google it before you cry n00b)instead of a mouse.But then again, since it's more of a cheap CGI/blue screen version of the Die Hard series rather than an intelligent forerunner to the Matrix like the first, i'm inclined to say this is more akin to a 1996 vinegar than to the 1992 port-noir the original was.

edwithmj First of all I think Matt Frewer is a good actor. His role in Star Trek Next Generation as a bogus time travelling scientist was excellent and reminded me of James "Jim" Carrey. In this he tries very hard but the script and directing is not there at all. This "sequel" seems to contradict the ending of the first film completely and so I ended up watching it for the hilarious clichéd moments. Here's a list:The tag line is laughable "God made him simple, science made him a god, now he wants revenge." What the hell is that about? He wants revenge? For what? On whom?"Accessing secret files" What computer would ever say that?"We have to make Jobe so angry he destroys himself". That part had me in hysterics. Trace's ludicrous explanation why that would work.The fact that Jobe is somehow alive despite in the previous film he was practically incinerated.That weird bit in the middle where they try to find out who wrote a computer program by looking at a 3D image of a word.The bit where Jobe start to use bad language was really unexpected and very unnecessary.The over the top and pointless sword fight at the end. I thought Jobe had to destroy himself? Why the sword fight?That scary looking blonde woman. What was her role in the film exactly?The cliché of Trace the old computer master is now living a "simple" life in the desert.Homeless kids somehow have ganged together, taught themselves computer science to the degree that they know more than the average adult and have expensive equipment that WORKS in an old train.The Chiron chip. That thing really confused me. What was it and what was that talk of Egypt? How can everyone live in cyberspace? Their bodies would die. The whole idea is ridiculous.Trace's weird and annoying shaped mouth.That fight where Trace picks up a TV and smashes it on someone's head. It was clearly fake it looked like it weighed as much as a cardboard box.The whole film made absolutely NO SENSE.Still it made me laugh.

Lee Eisenberg When I saw "Lawnmower Man", I thought that it was one of the most interesting movies that I'd ever seen. When I saw "Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace" a few weeks later, I couldn't understand how it was supposed to be related to the first one. Containing a plot too confusing to discuss, not only did they not bring back Pierce Brosnan, it didn't even have the decency to bring back Jeff Fahey to play Jobe - although Matt Frewer isn't a bad actor otherwise. But the rest of the movie seems to be a series of randomly strung-together special effects.So anyway, if you watch the first one, you'll have seen all that you need to; there's no reason to waste your money on this one.
