Inspector Gadget
John Brown is a bumbling but well-intentioned security guard who is badly injured in an explosion planned by an evil mastermind. He is taken to a laboratory, where Brenda, a leading robotics surgeon, replaces his damaged limbs with state-of-the-art gadgets and tools. Named "Inspector Gadget" by the press, John -- along with his niece, Penny, and her trusty dog, Brain -- uses his new powers to discover who was behind the explosion.

Strong and Moving!
hyped garbage
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
It is truly unfortunate that the rating for this movie on the IMDb website is so low. And the low reviews are by whom? Adults, of course! And that is precisely the problem. This movie was made for (shock, but yet a non-spoiler): kids! Here is the context in which you may perhaps best comprehend why this movie deserves a higher rating than that reflect at the IMDb site: I, as an adult, first saw this film with 2 other adults accompanying 2 kids, ages 13 and 8, in a theater loaded with kids (and many parents). All 3 of we adults found it entertaining, but that's not the true test...not only our 2 kids, ages 5 years apart, but the majority of all the other kids (and parents) in the theater wanted to, and did, stay to watch it again! Unless from another planet, mentally disengaged from real life, or otherwise impervious to observable fact, anyone should readily recognize that a bad movie cannot and does not captivate to the point that kids (AGAIN: the target audience) want to watch it again. And again. And again. So please don't let the IMDb overall vote, or negative reviews on this site by so-called adults, mislead. It is a terrific kids and family flick.
easy comedy, adaptation of cartoons but very far by original, a too long joke. so, nothing special. the only problem is the ambition to be nice. because too many scenes are unrealistic at whole, absurd and fake. because the humor is to easy to define it as comedy. but, sure, for fun, only for fun without complications , it is a not bad choice.the second problem is the cast. Rupert Everett and Matthew Broderick are not the ideal option for a film about...nothing. so, only the conscience of chaotic work by director, the money and the need to give few drops of sense are excuses for this version. not the last,it remains the disappointment than it could be a decent movie. for entire family. but , maybe, it was not the team intention.
A lot of people underestimate this movie and judge it because it's not "exactly" like the cartoon version. You need to look at it from a different mind and openenly instead of watching it while comparing it to the cartoon.This movie had a great story line and the writing was perfect. Kids LOVE this movie, because it mixes in humour, with cool gadgets, a bad guy, a damsel and of course the hero that we all know and love. It has a great balance of everything you need for a great family movie.I wish this movie would've gotten greater reviews but I guess for those that don't have an imaginary open mind [ or kids ] can't appreciate everything that this movie brings.I'd give a ten out of ten.
This was one of my fav movies in my childhold it was the first time I have seen inspector gadget I did not see the cartoon later on when I was about 6 or 7. inspector gadget's real name is john brown I like it better when he was called john so people could know what he's real name was but in the 2nd one he was called gadget which is what he was called in the cartoon. The 2nd one was not really good it ruined a good show and I was very shocked with the 2nd one they changed the actors like what they did in son of the mask oh yeah that was bad that was really bad. But I like this one its better then chicken little I like the part when robogadget pulls dawn john's pants on the bridge that was really funny and I love that talking car in this movie he had very nice coular which suited his character very nice before they changed it in the 2nd one I would really like to get this movie out on DVD if any one knows if it is still out on DVD please tell me thank for that. Great movie maybe not the best Disney film ever but still great 7.6 out of 10
