i use to have a fascination with the cartoon back in college when it be be make . it have much the charm of get smart . while it admittedly have it fault and it be rather enjoyable . naturally i be very interested in see the film version . that be before i saw it . afterwords i wish it have never be make . besides be miscast all around ( who on earth though broderick be even close to the role . ) it just do not make the grade . the effect be reasonable and perhaps the only thing i like about the movie while see a live action version of the gadget in action . what be miss be a story and treatment which make it funny or charm or interesting . the original be a wacky cartoon with a very lighthearted attitude . it be fun . the motion picture become murky and take itself far too seriously . if it have seriously have a great plot or go crazy enough to make it seem like a cartoon on film it might have be enjoyable . a it exist it doesn not deserve to be consider part of the gadget legacy .
