The Age of Commercialism

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Blistering performances.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

This movie was wonderful to watch as a child. It was such a fun family movie. It was a fine sequel: probably better than the first. The plot was very good. Really liked Johnny 5, and the other characters introduced in this movie especially his beloved friends. What I enjoyed the most about this movie was the emotional elements of it. Johnny 5 being a robot and all, yet still feels like he's part human like the rest of us. It was made in the 80s, so that makes it that extra special. I probably won't see it ever again now, but this movie was definitely part of my childhood, and holds dear to my heart. A wonderful and fun movie. I love you JOHNNY 5!!!!!

Good kids film! The movie is cornball but that is normal for kids film.I am a sucker for feel good movies. Good part 2, Short Circuit has a different storyline from the original which make the movie fresh. I like how the movie's message shows the senselessness of peoples lower natures. The robot learns about selfishness, and violence the hard way.The robot who is smart but the robot's innocence makes the character a mark for bad people. That is a message about looking out for other people intentions. The other part of the movie I like is the robots fish out of water behaviour comedy. The robot trying to figure out dating is funny. The movie has the usual happy ending, which I like. I give Short Circuit 2 a six out of 10.

Because he must be alive, because a robot could rationalize the fact that because Ally Sheedy and Steve Guttenberg would not be back for the sequel then there probably should be no sequel. Especially when the only returning character was a totally annoying character from the first film. No, Johnny-5 must be alive as he was promised a big paycheck to play in the sequel. So in the end you get a sequel that just is not very good, with a rather weak story and an annoying human lead character and an annoying robot lead character. You get Toronto I think it was posing as New York and you get a pointless movie all around with a really ludicrous ending. Still, I am sure kids during the day might have enjoyed it. Heck, as a kid I enjoyed the film "Heart beeps" and from what I understand that movie is rather bad too. The only things tying this film to the first one is the robot, the one dude from the first one, and a silly voice over from Ally Sheedy. Other than that it is like the first movie was never made. I mean did the military just forget about their top secret robots, granted they might have thought he was destroyed in the first movie, but he is supposedly wheeling all over New Toronto I mean York. Just a movie to try and capture the little magic there was in the first film. I think it rather failed.

Short Circuit was a great film. I think that Short Circuit Two is an amazing sequel that is a little better than the first film.Benjamin gets a job in making toys that resemble Johny Five. He makes a deal with a toy company and gains a business partner named Fred. They start to have problems with production so Johny Five gets sent to them to help them out. However as he discovers that he is in a huge city Johny Five needs a lot of input but also begins to learn a lot of good and bad things about the human race.Johny Five once again makes the film. He is an entertaining and highly amusing character and may be the best robotic character that I have ever seen in a film. He is just as great in this film as he was in the first one.Benjamin is back and that is pretty cool. He gets to do a lot more in this film than he did in the first. The love story in this film is much better than the one they tried to do in Short Circuit.I think a key to this film is that it has a great message. Johny Five feels like an outsider because he is not human, despite the fact that he is a living thing. So I think the whole struggle for belonging is something that helps viewers to sympathize and root for the character searching for belonging.There is also great action in this film at times. Johny Five gets to do a lot of awesome things in this film. The humor is just as funny in this film, mainly due to Johny FIve gets to travel through the city and gain lots of input. Input need Input!!!! So this is a great sequel. A little better than the first film in my opinion. Recommend it greatly.
