That was an excellent one.
Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Good movie. I've watched it since it came out, when I was 3. I think the movie is better than the tv series.
Based on the animated TV-series of the same name, the origins of how Inspector Gadget came to be is depicted in this live-action film as he befriends the scientist who created him and goes after the bad guy, Sanford Scolex, who was responsible for his unfortunate accident.It's hard not to compare a film with something it was based off of, like a remake compared to an original or a movie compared to a TV-series. But, even as a stand-alone film, this movie was awful.There were no suspense or captivating moments in this movie, not even during the scenes where John Brown (Matthew Broderick) first realized he became a bionic being, nor during any of the investigative scenes. There were too many corny, childish and overzealous-acting characters like the excruciatingly annoying mayor and Scolex's dumb-founded minions. Even Scolex (Rupert Everett) himself is not menacing or evil-bent, but a vain, smug, and a clown of a villain.Inspector Gadget wasn't portrayed as much of a hero, but a clueless, bumbling idiot who couldn't even control his gadgets (at least in the cartoon, the inspector had this always-on-a-mission mentality and had control over his gadgets most of the time). Penny and Chief Quimby didn't contribute to the plot at all (and Quimby despises Inspector Gadget as opposed to the cartoon).The script was weak and the plot was rushed-through - it's just basically Gadget trying to capture Scolex (shouldn't he be called Dr. Claw at least?), with the Gadget Mobile doing most of the work. There were no intriguing subplots, no character development and no character chemistry. The special effects were OK to say the most, but this movie bombed big time. A very lame and unfunny movie which I wouldn't even recommend to children.Grade F
I wouldn't have said Matthew was the best role for Inspector Gadget, but after seeing the movie, I had a change of heart. Although it's not really close to the original, it's a funny interpretation of the character. I know it's a Disney movie, but I do wish they didn't make such corny jokes and were a little more serious from time to time. I like the addition of the Gadget mobile being a living car; He turned out to be a funny character! I also love Gadget's origin story and crush on Brenda! They fit the character well. Although Penny and Brain ended up not doing much in the whole movie, which was a little disappointing. But, I did enjoy the fact Gadget was able to save the day on his own rather then receiving their help like he always does in the series. It shows even though he's naive, he's learning! I knew this movie was born to have a sequel, but the sequel was so awful I wish I could unsee it! Never watch the sequel, guys!!
Inspector Gadget sucks so hard I don't even know where to begin. For starters, this movie is ONLY meant for VERY YOUNG kids. Even if that is so, they would probably have a hard time enjoying the visuals. This is one of the ugliest family movies ever made. The humour is humourless and dry, the acting is just bad, and for a kids movie, it sure is pretty dark. Disney screwed up big time with this soulless movie. Matthew Broderick was cast as the most annoying character possible: the title character himself. His character gets "fixed" after an accident; he is turned into a robot (at the beginning of the movie), or a cyborg, or something that we couldn't possibly care about.Also another thing in the movie is that Dr. Claw, the villain in the original Inspector Gadget TV show who never reveals his face, is clearly visible on screen most of the time, and he's just an ordinary looking guy. Nothing works in this movie. The show was never owned by Disney in the first place, but they bought the film rights to the show and lowered the show to Disney- fied levels. I never watched the show growing up, but I have seen some episodes and they were a lot better than the movie, even though the episodes were pretty standard.Avoid this piece of rubbish at all costs. It isn't worth your time or money. It deserves to rot away and be forgotten.
