My mom, a fan of the original show, hadn't seen this movie yet when it came on TV while we were flipping through channels. It's important to note that she's one of those people who likes to give even the worst of movies a chance and watch them all the way through. Even SHE couldn't stand this movie and stopped watching after 10 minutes.
But seriously, WHY the sound effects? I don't recall the cartoon Gadget doing stupid sounds every time he moved. And still, in-universe, it makes no sense for them to put sounds on him.
Just because it's based on a cartoon, doesn't mean you have to make everything ridiculous and senseless. The cartoon had silly moments, but it managed to make a lot more sense than this tripe.
The Star Wars clip at 6:15 works on another level...the lady who plays Brenda in this movie is Carrie Fisher's sister. I guess they both can't help but get into wacky hijinks with gullible cyborgs! Anyway, Critic's hatred for Matthew Broderick is easily one of his best gags...
Btw, actually in the show he's not supposed to be a cyborg. He's supposed to be inspector GADGET because he has gadgets. There's even one episode where he doesn't have his coat, so he can only use gadgets from his hat. Also even when they meet the professor in the show Penny says "he's the professor who gave you all your gadgets", she doesn't say turned you into a cyborg, and they never mention anything like that. Okay, he can stretch his neck and something like that, but still, it's never explained if he is an actual cyborg, and if so to what degree. The point is that it shouldn't be the focus of the plot, 'cause it's never explained in the show and it should be left that way, it's a mystery. The premise is the adventures of this detective full of gadgets and that's it. If you want to give us some backstory okay, but the show was never like that.
I really loved the part where the Japanese man says, "This is why I left Tokyo" during the evil robot attack. That plus the minion recovery scene is pretty funny if you recognize anybody.
