Short Circuit 2

There are some funny lines here and a somewhat credible plot, but it is mainly pointed at kids, unlike the first one where there was a family film feel. This time, Stevens (playing Ben Jarvhi who in part one was Ben Jabituya) and Johnny Five wind up with sleazy salesman (Michael McKean can always generate a laugh) and villains who want diamonds under there warehouse. Not great, but it isn't a complete waste either (Five still has charm). B+

Jonny Five's back... is this a good thing? Actually, yes. The good news is that Fisher Stevens' character, Ben Jahrvi, is the star of this movie and has a lot more attention. In the first movie, he was overshadowed by Steve Guttenberg. Also, the music score is cool too. The bad news is that this movie could have been better. Jonny Five talks more like a human now but that is not necessarily a bad thing. If you've never seen Short Circuit or Short Circuit 2 then please watch you may like it. If you've seen Short Circuit and despised it, then don't watch this.

Short Circuit 2 (1988) is a bad movie. No if ands or buts about it. Why was this movie made in the first place? I didn't realize that Short Circuit was such a "huge" success. I mean it was an okay film but there was no need for a sequel, especially one that smells like a bad of old bait. Dude this movie reeks. It's a one note movie featuring the "East Indian" Fisher Stevens and the now annoying Johnny-5. Well this was the 80's and I guess it was written in the contract that the producers made up during the production of part one, if Short Circuit makes a slight profit we'll shoot the "sequel". What may have looked good on paper looks bad on the screen. Not worth your time unless you REALLY like Johnny-5. Bad stuff, best to avoid!

Hey I love this movie and the other one too! they are my favourite and Johnny5 (Number5) or J5 is my hero, he is always kind, funny play full, childish and cute. he is just like the friend I have always wanted, PERFECT! If he was with me and my mates all the time I would die! and so would they. he has been my friend for ages! and If there is one thing I learnt whilst watching Short Circuit of Short Circuit 2 is that I will always love Johnny 5 and no matter what I will never stop loving him of forget him like I done. (I saw it when I was little and after a couple of years I saw it a gen and thank god!) So all I can say is if you love Johnny 5 as much as I do then buy this movie and the first and vote it as a 10 star. it will make J5 so happy I know because I E-mail his creator!

Short circuit 2 not only has 2 of my favourite actors, Fisher Stevens (whom you may remember from the unconventional yet brilliant "Super Mario Bros.") and Michael McKean (The man who needs a mere two-word introduction: Quality Footware). As a team they are tremendous, and combined with the directorial power that Kenneth Johnson wields, together with the charismatic Johnny 5, Tim Blaney, this movie is unstoppable. On a technical level this movie is definitive and as simple as the plot idea may be it is charming and powerful. This is a modern-day masterpiece, and a unique twist on the classic Frankenstein theme. If I could I would give this movie more than ten. FIVE more than ten!

It's got humor, crooks, gangs, and graffiti...what more could you ask from a robot movie? This movie really is delightful to watch. It is less dark than the first movie, focusing more on the humor than on the fear of being "disassembled." I'm not sure why they changed Ben's last name from the first movie. Fisher Stevens is still a humor genius with his little quips here and there. I can't believe that he's the same actor from Hackers. This is one of my favorite movies of all time (I like it even more than the first one.) I've watched it over 1000 times!!
