Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Atticus Jerusalem This show is very good. My wife and I grew up with the original series and I see this as an improvement. We have a 4 year old daughter and she loves it. The show is perfect for say 3-6 year old kids and fun also. I like the updates the more involvement of Penny the addition of Talon. The show actually has a running theme you can follow it. My daughter wants to play Inspector Gadget quite often she has seen all the episodes on Netflix more than once. We recently saw some of the old show on Hulu and viewing the two this is just so much better. Gadget in the original was just too dumb they left him dumb but in a more believable way. The people that hate this show I just think they don't have kids and see what kids shows are like and how good this is in comparison. I hope they make more episodes.

TheVAFan Boom! Did you hear that sound? Something tells me another childhood favourite has bitten the dust and has been replaced by a lifeless CG version.Oh my, the word's gone out. It's poor old Inspector Gadget. Oh man, one of my big childhood heroes. We all know what the original series was like, it had good animation, funny jokes and memorable characters.But no, I'm not here to praise the original like some happy type of guy who just had his first taste of coffee, I'm here to say that this so-called "updated" version ain't worth your time.There, I said it.What, you want more? Alright then. I'll have to think of cunning ways to tell you why you shouldn't watch it.Ooh, I know. What if I told you that Inspector Gadget has been turned into an annoying and bumbling fool who falls other every time just to get a cheap laugh from the audience? Will that turn ya off? No. Okay, what if I told you that Dr Claw isn't menacing in the slightest and has an actor who overacts so much you'll pine for the days of Frank Welker?Oh and even better, what if I said he has a new sidekick who is irritating? Still not enough.Jeez, you're a tough one.Well, how about the ugly and unappealing animation that looks rushed and dull? Or the fact it's the usual Canadian toon that has 2 segments nowadays in one episode which means everything is rushed? Is that fine for ya?Hold on a minute, no one's here. Damn, must have been talking to myself. Sigh, I think I might as well stick a DVD of the old and far better Gadget on. And to anyone who was listening, don't watch it, it ain't worth it. There's only so much we can do with our lives...

blytheandferb Inspector Gadget is certainly an interesting franchise. The idea of a bumbling agent who can barely do a good job could be tiring, but the idea works considering it spawned at least 3 shows. I don't remember much from the original shows, so I can't compare. As for this show, it's a lot of fun. The show is focused primarily on comedy, and it succeeds in that regard since each episode is super funny. Of course, there is still some semblance of a story. Despite the title, the protagonist in this show is Penny, Gadget's niece, and she's lots of fun. She's shown to be a pretty competent agent while having plenty of adorkable moments. It helps to have Tara Strong voice her. Gadget is incompetent, but I never get annoyed by him. Dr. Claw and Talon are pretty funny with how over the top they are. I don't really have anything to complain about. This show is great.

trishcuffari I have to give the show a thumbs down. While the show is still called "Inspector Gadget", the episodes typically revolve around Penny. What a waste! And although Gadget's naivety is pushed to the max, all his other personality traits seem to be gone. What about his ironic over-protecting of Penny? What about how he falls for every pretty lady he meets? Why is Brain such a grumpy grump? Why is Penny so awkward? Also, the super high-tech background is so unnecessary. They already had their own technology in the original series. And I definitely don't approve of the forced romance between Talon and Penny. Don't even get me started!
