    better than the first. an interesting way to pose the philosophical questions about A.I. in a family oriented film.

    Los Locos kick your ass...! Ben's lines were better in the first, there were just more of them in Two. Isn't that SPECIAL? Derf! I remember crying like a puss when I was a kid as Johnny wrote "dying" on the wall.

    Not quite as good as the first, and NOT filmed in New York. The World's Largest Bookstore is in Toronto. I know, 'cause I've been there.

    The comedy robot deals with "homies" in "the hood" in the big bad city in a project so ill advised, even Guttenberg wanted nothing to do with it...

    Here's Johnny!

    Somehow, a movie like this turns out to be even better than the first, what are the odds.

    After watching the first Short Circuit, I'd be glad to continue with the sequel so I can see them connected together. Ben Jahveri and Fred Ritter are working in a electronics business selling toy models of their Number 5 robot. So when Number 5 (renamed as Johnny 5) is sen... ...( read more )

    If this movie is half as upsetting, off-putting, and depressing as I remember it being, not only should it not be watched by kids, it should be banned!

    This is a good sequel continuing the adventures of Johnny Five. The story is good and makes a good family movie.

    I used to really like this one and watched it over and over again growing up. Don't know if I'd still like it today.

    This robot can steal a dozen of cars in a minute, fly through the skies, and read hundreds of books in minutes. As a kid i always wanted a johnny 5. "I'm Johnny 5, i'm alive"

    Guaranteed to make small kids cry. And if you let your guard down and get into the story you'll get caught up in it.

    i know i've seen all short circuit movies..jus don't know which one is this..but i enjoyed all of them..

    The Short Circuit movies are sort of a requirement of the 80's and 90's in terms of our opinion of what robots should be outside of the Terminator-style post-apocalyptic films. This sequel doesn't really do much for the genre in general but it'll make you smile here and there.

    A pretty good next step. I liked the idea of the flick and the casting was done well. It had ties to the original while being it's own movie as well.

    Much more comedic than the first, a lot more action, slightly better dialog, and a much better soundtrack than the first. Very enjoyable all around.

    "Are you troubled by irregularity?" ... "Well it takes a tough man to make a tender...chicken." ... "Number Johnny Five! The Date was such a success. We talk-ed, we dance-ed, we drank champagne!!"

    I'm sure i've seen this but I don't remember how good it was. I know the original was great though.
  • July 3, 2007
