Product Description Get ready for more wild adventures packed with double the special effects, double the gadgets, and double the fun of the original. It's Disney's all-new INSPECTOR GADGET 2. Just when things are quieting down in Riverton, everything goes wrong. Inspector Gadget is put on probation. Claw stages a daring escape from prison and plots a new "Crime of the Century." And the Mayor unveils a new and improved G2 -- an all-robot, all-tech, all-female gadget! Could it get any worse for our hero? Mishaps, miscues, stakeouts, and showdowns ensue as Inspector Gadget (French Stewart TV's 3RD ROCK FROM THE SUN) and G2 (Elaine Hendrix, THE PARENT TRAP) set off to go-go save the world with a little help from their friends -- niece Penny, her dog Brain, and the wildly tricked-out Gadgetmobile! .com A live-action Inspector Gadget is back, this time with higher tech gadgets and more special effects. French Stewart (TV's Third Rock from the Sun) replaces Matthew Broderick as the bumbling detective in a plot that revolves around the glitch-ridden Gadget's replacement by a completely robotized female. Parent Trap's Elaine Hendrix does what little she can with the one-dimensional role of "G2." Still, Gadget falls for his rival and the pair team up with his smart-as-a-whip niece Penny and her brainy beagle for a showdown with Claw. Where Broderick struggled to humanize the caricature of an inept detective in the 1999 original, Stewart doesn't even try. Instead he plays Gadget as a cartoon, with endless mugging and over-the-top theatrics. The enhanced special effects may placate young viewers, but without the comedy of the original, that's small comfort. The best thing about this movie? It's rated G and, thus, harmless.

Go Go Gadget Redemption!
The first Inspector Gadget movie was such a slap in the face to the good inspector that I shunned it's sequel from the day it came out untill just today. After hearing that it was closer to the cartoon series I decided to check it out for myself. I'm very glad I did.Don't get me wrong, the movie's not perfect by any means. In fact I may have given it one star more than it deserves, but I'm greatly impressed that studio executives actually listened to fan's complaints about the first and did something about it. Nearly everything that hurt in the first movie has been adressed. French Stewart makes a better Gadget than Matt B. could ever hope to. Claw, while still not as menacing as his cartoon counterpart, at least keeps his face hidden and has Madcat constantly at his side. There's even a very nice MAD logo seen several times in the film! Penny and Brain help solve the case this time, and even the newly added G2 feels like she would have been at home in an episode of the original series.There are some isues here, though. The CGI looks pretty bad in spots, like hand drawn effects. Gadgetmobile returns, but with a smaller role than before, thankfully. Chief Quimby is still more anti Gadget than I'd like, but all in all it's clear this movie was made to give the fans what they wanted from a live action Inspector Gadget movie the first time around. You can probably get one here for pennys plus shipping, and you'll likely be glad you did.

Ok Family night
The first Inspector Gadget was much better than this one but still worth watching for a family movie night.

This was better than the first one I thot
This was better than the first one I thot, and we enjoyed it from start to finish. The plot was good, the humor in keeping with kids, and we would watch it again to catch more of the gags and gadgets. Certainly room for improvement, but if a 3rd version is produced with more combinations of humor and perhaps a Gadget family ... who knows?

I love when disney
I love when Disney decides to make sequels to movies.. but doesn't want to spend the extra buck to make it great. now if this movie was on its own and not a squeal, i would give it a higher rating but since they took the original cast and scrapped them.. to replace with much lesser known actors.. it gets a 3/5. I only bought it to add to our Disney collection.

great sequel
I actually liked both of these movies a lot, although I do like the 1st one better. I used to watch the cartoon version of this a lot, and found both movies to be just as enjoyable, only better because they are longer. Very pleased with my purchase. Hopefully they will have another sequel. 4.5 out of 5
