Reviews
|
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) -
Inspector Gadget may be a live-action movie, but at its heart it's more cartoonish than most cartoons.
|
|
TV Guide Magazine -
What a joyless, fussy contraption of a movie!
|
|
Chicago Sun-Times -
The plot was an arbitrary concoction.
|
|
Los Angeles Times -
Gadget instead ends up as another mindless, noisy thrill ride that gorges its audience on bright effects and leaves it queasy from overconsumption.
|
|
The New York Times -
In the end the elaborate gimmickry of Inspector Gadget cannot conceal its very ordinary storytelling.
