This rant is about the movie Inspector Gadget. When I was a kid I loved watching the cartoon Inspector Gadget. So when found out about the movie version I was excited. However, after seeing the movie that excitement turned into bitter disappointment. I couldn't believe that Disney had butchered one of the best cartoons ever made.
One of the many problems with the movie is that Matthew Broderick played the role of Inspector Gadget. Broderick was okay in Godzilla, but he was horrible in this film. He made Gadget seem stiff and robotic rather than clumsy and clueless like in the cartoon.
The plot is simple. The evil Claw and his minions are trying to take over the world. So when Claw finds out the security guard at the lab where the scientist was killed has been transformed into Inspector Gadget by Brenda, who happens to be the daughter of the murdered scientist, he decides to make an evil clone of Gadget. So now the real Inspector Gadget has to save the city from the impostor, and stop Claw.
Like in the cartoon version, Gadget is assisted by his niece Penny, her dog Brain, his car the Gadget Mobile, and his various assortment of gadgets. Only the car voiced by D.L. Hughley, and the gadgets bring life to what is otherwise a dull and boring movie. The plot is dull, the actors with the exception of Hughley don't bring any life to their characters, and the jokes are really corny. That's why this movie sucks.
