Inspector Gadget

Pros: lots of neat gadgets
Cons: confusing plot, obnoxious characters, bad humor

I'm not even sure if Nickelodeon still runs the animated series Inspector Gadget, but if it does, watch that instead. I grew up on that show, with its clueless hero, his brainiac dog and niece, and his poor chief who always managed to get himself...

Pros: The movie has the original Inspector Gadget theme song.
Cons: Violent, insulting to those of us who loved the original cartoon.

There are not that many movies that I would like to walk out of at the movie theater. Dumb and Dumber is definitely one, and I have to admit that after watching about the first 10 minutes of Inspector Gadget I was ready to walk out again....

Pros: Cast, popcorn
Cons: Lame plot, pediatric robo-cop flies but movie doesn't

Pros: Pittsburgh PA isn’t too bad.
Cons: Too tame and inauthentic to be the original Gadget.

For some reason the main story of Inspector Gadget, or at least the movie version based on it, is similar to Robocop’s. Riverton Inspector John Brown (Matthew Broderick) gets injured in some accident, setup, or whatever. The CIA or some other joint ...

Pros: Some neat special effects; Matthew Broderick
Cons: Way too short; weak plot

I have long been a fan of Matthew Broderick, ever since I saw him in War Games. So I thought I would check out this movie, even though it is really a kid's show. Unfortunately Broderick couldn't save this one. And except for younger kids, it may even...

Pros: Gadgets pop out of a person on command, fun car with gadgets
Cons: Characters seem to be acting like cartoon figures & two Inspector Gadgets

Disney's Inspector Gadget movie caught my eye at our local library since my daughter has been really into detective stories lately. I thought that she would love the dynamics of all the gadgets in the film! She was so excited about this movie but cried ...

Pros: ummmmmmm... they used the original theme song, I guess that counts
Cons: every other single F'ing thing

Oh my god! Where do I even begin? I was very reluctant to see this movie for a very long because I grew up watching the 80s cartoon religiously. So I was fairly content to bad mouth this movie based solely on the trailers. But then I figured, it's...

Pros: Not a single one
Cons: I lost count at 3,281,996,427,660

The bonus video by Youngstown can't keep the movie from being a... a... a... let's face it, a stinker in spades!

I really hadn't intended to watch it, especially since all the reviews I saw said pretty much the same thing -- this movie...

Pros: The screaming has stopped...
Cons: ...but the nightmares continue

From the moment I put the tape into the VCR, I knew there was going to be trouble. After the first few seconds of loading my machine started to groan like a crack ho deprived of rock, and then started to smoke and spit out little bits of metal and...

Pros: NONE!!
Cons: Opening to Closing Credits and all the bits in between

Uncle Walt must be spinning in his grave over this one, Eisner better stay away from the cemetery at night. I will usually watch any film that has Matthew Broderick in it. He is capable of delivering a really great performance and is often the single...

Pros: Pittsburgh views
Cons: Everything in the movie

We rented this movie last night. Now, not many people I know have it or have even seen it, but here in our house Disney is usually a hit, so... We rented it. What a disappointment.
It starts with John Brown, not to intelligent young man. He tries...

Pros: Fun for kids of all ages
Cons: Relatively short movie

Fun for the entire family! Our daughter loves this movie! She watches it over and over. I am afraid that she is going to wear out the tape! She insists that she is going to be Inspector Gadget for next Halloween!

The content of the movie...

Pros: none
Cons: scene with sexual connotation, boring characters

What was Matthew Broderick thinking when he chose to star in such a horrible film? When I first saw the commercials for this film, I was excited about taking my son to a movie based on a favorite childhood cartoon of mine. I also thought it was going...

Pros: A funny sequence over the closing credits.
Cons: The rest of the movie.

Here again, we have Hollywood trying to make quality cinema out of spare parts. And here again we have Hollywood failing miserably at it. And here again we have Hollywood not learning from its mistakes. Not to keep beating a dead gadget here. But when ...

Pros: It's less than 90 minutes long
Cons: A tired, uninspired live action cartoon

MEMO TO: Hollywood

STOP. JUST STOP. NO MORE FLINTSTONES, DUDLEYS, GEORGES OR INSPECTOR GADGETS. IN THE NAME OF ALL...
