Minahzur Rahman This movie was wonderful to watch as a child. It was such a fun family movie. It was a fine sequel: probably better than the first. The plot was very good. Really liked Johnny 5, and the other characters introduced in this movie especially his beloved friends. What I enjoyed the most about this movie was the emotional elements of it. Johnny 5 being a robot and all, yet still feels like he's part human like the rest of us. It was made in the 80s, so that makes it that extra special. I probably won't see it ever again now, but this movie was definitely part of my childhood, and holds dear to my heart. A wonderful and fun movie. I love you JOHNNY 5!!!!!
Benedito Dias Rodrigues Lately l'd revisited Short Circuit,a fine movie indeed,but this sequel didn't match the first one,the magic is missing,the good thing as it might seem is Michael McKean as trickster guy who intent to make money all the time with Johnny five,the plot is driven to teenage audiences,follow the steps of "Home Alone".not very funny and too contrived situations make it far away from the original!!Resume:First watch: 1991 / How many: 2 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 6
Aaron1375 Because he must be alive, because a robot could rationalize the fact that because Ally Sheedy and Steve Guttenberg would not be back for the sequel then there probably should be no sequel. Especially when the only returning character was a totally annoying character from the first film. No, Johnny-5 must be alive as he was promised a big paycheck to play in the sequel. So in the end you get a sequel that just is not very good, with a rather weak story and an annoying human lead character and an annoying robot lead character. You get Toronto I think it was posing as New York and you get a pointless movie all around with a really ludicrous ending. Still, I am sure kids during the day might have enjoyed it. Heck, as a kid I enjoyed the film "Heart beeps" and from what I understand that movie is rather bad too. The only things tying this film to the first one is the robot, the one dude from the first one, and a silly voice over from Ally Sheedy. Other than that it is like the first movie was never made. I mean did the military just forget about their top secret robots, granted they might have thought he was destroyed in the first movie, but he is supposedly wheeling all over New Toronto I mean York. Just a movie to try and capture the little magic there was in the first film. I think it rather failed.
giuseppelospalluti Film sympathetic but nothing Almighty. One of many'80s films, very cheerful and ironic that ironizzava the saga of robocop. Film certainly for the family created specifically for the saga of movie about robots much in vogue in anni'80. The robots continue to pleasure, even though in reality do not have a well-known commercial use. One of the recent film about robots "Trasformers" has had some success even though the robotic charm is quite declined in recent years. The'80s were a period full of ideas even if the film fumettistici and many were absurd. This film for this period was suimpatico. Try to be more lenient dui towards films that period starting with horror films. They were from laugh but had a certain charisma.
