This was a straight-up terrible movie. Granted, I never saw the first one but this was just horribly lazy, even for a sequel.Inspector Gadget (French Stewart) finds himself replaced by a newer model, G2 (Elaine Hendrix), during a lull in crime. But when evil "genius" Dr. Claw (Tony Martin) escapes from prison, Gadget is determined to put him away again, whether he is wanted or not.
I put genius in quotes because the villain of this film is just as stupid as the hero. Really, the whole thing suffers from the most obvious sight gags, cringe-inducing puns, and forced cheeriness. I felt bad for everyone involved in this project. It's not their fault. They have to pay bills and put food on the table just like the rest of us. I blame Disney for green lighting this with the worst script they could possibly have chosen. I understand the direct-to-video market is a twisted wasteland of cast-off ideas that couldn't get real funding for marketing but you are only perpetuating the cycle by releasing crapfests like this one.
