Short Circuit 2

Pros: Quite entertaining and funny...
Cons: ... you definitely have to be in the mood for it if you're an adult!

The first Short Circuit film (starring Steve Guttenberg, Ally Sheedy, and Fisher Stevens) introduced the military robot gone wrong and with its own personality, Johnny-5. He made friends, had to survive against the wicked military authorities who ...

Pros: Cute, touching, nice variety of elements
Cons: Not exactly realistic

I hate choosing sides. I've been a thinker, I've been a feeler, and it seems like these two breeds of cinephile will never be completely at peace with each other. The thinkers can't possibly say enough about how blatantly banal, how totally trite, how ...

Pros: A fun and enjoyable, if somewhat sappy sequel to the 1986 hit Short Circuit
Cons: None really.

Ok, I'll be honest: I don't know or remember if Short Circuit was a big hit in 1986, and I'm too lazy to look it up. However, my instincts tell me that it probably was, as Hollywood usually doesn't make sequels to movies that aren't hits. But it's ...

Pros: a good family movie
Cons: so many plot holes

I got Short Circuit number 2 a week ago when I found it for 5 bucks, having seen the first several times but having never seen the 2nd I decided to pick it up and watch it. Well Short Circuit Number 2 does have some of the charm of the original it seems ...

Pros: Light hearted comedy
Cons: Light usage of foul language as described within

Short Circuit 2, sequel to Short Circuit is a safe movie for all young children if parents agree with the baseball test for movies. In today's age and times it is refreshing that you can actually buy a movie and not fear the effect it has on young...

Pros: Funny, great action/suspense, and a bit of a tear jerker for about 1 1/2 minutes.
Cons: Starts out a little slow on the action.

I loved this movie ever since the first time I saw it. Probably my favorite part was toward the last 20 minutes or so when Johnny 5 gets beat up, then repairs himself to look bad @$$, then kicks the crap out of Oscar. It was awesome. Deffinately a good older movie (and a good new one too, with all the crap thats been coming out lately...) to watch pretty much anytime, and like I said, at the end it got me pumped up! Great movie!
