Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Syl If you like Inspector Gadget and his cartoons, this film is for you. I was never a fan of the series as a child. It's okay but I prefer an ensemble of characters. This film is about 75 minutes of light-hearted adventure ideal for family viewing especially youngsters. If you enjoy Gadget and his abilities to stop crime, I still thought I heard Don Adams in the voice. Sadly he passed away but the replacement voice does an adequate job here too.

blumdeluxe "Inspector Gadget's last case" is a late addition to the Inspector Gadget series. In it, Gadget and his car are going through rough times when he gives up on his old Mobil, which is bought by the new but shady rising star of the investigator scene in town. Will anyone be able to stop the physically transformed criminals and the evil Dr. Claw? I am not really an expert when it comes to Inspector Gadget, in fact this is the first film of him that I ever saw, as far as I can remember. Thus, I can not say if the movie fits into the series, I will focus on it as an independent piece. Unfortunately, a lot of the times the gags are not really working. Some of them are so old that it's hard to bear (Yellow Snow.. giggles). The plot itself is not bad, even though it is highly predictable. Still the film doesn't get boring and although I found Gadget quite rude, I am sure that some children will be able to identify with parts of the script. Some of the jokes they won't understand, because there are some references especially for adult viewers but there are surely worse movies for children.All in all I am not really convinced, though. It was a nice watch, not more, and I don't see myself watching this a second time.

Shawn Watson I got this DVD well over 2 years ago and only decided to watch it yesterday. I don't know why it took me so long as I do like the Inspector Gadget show and even the new Gadget and the Gadgetinis. While it may have a bright color pallet and all the technical sophistication of a modern animated movie, there are some old things missing that bog this Gadget right down the toilet.First of all the classic Inspector Gadget theme song and music is completely absent. The composer tries to compromise by doing a score that sounds similar but it's still just no good enough. The Gadget-mobile is now a talking car, not a car that can turn into a van. Plus it looks a lot cuter and rounder instead of being plain cool. Penny no longer has her computer book and she and Brain hardly make an appearance at all.The plot is non-existent. There's something about a transformation formula and Doctor Claw using for some never revealed evil but that's all I got. What the deal was with the short/giant Italian guy I will never know. It had nothing to do with anything.And if the title is anything to go by, his last case is wrapped up in no way whatsoever. And he stays on the force so why it's called 'last case' is a mystery also.I wasn't impressed at all. This is an affront to a great animated show that is strangely absent on DVD, but don't let that prompt you into buying whatever Inspector Gadget DVDs you can. I sold this mere seconds after finally watching it. No kid will like or appreciate this and no fan of the old show with tolerate it.

[email protected] When I was watching INSPECTOR GADGET'S LAST CASE, I felt as if I was nine years old and watching the original series again. Sure, the Gadgetmobile was talking and Dr. Claw had a different voice, but it seemed to me that it was just like the olden days when I would watch INSPECTOR GADGET before leaving for school later on that morning. Claw, by the way, is just as he always was - and you don't see his face except when he is masquerading as Devon Debonair, at which point his face is disguised - remember, he has drunk the special serum, so we still don't know what he really looks like. At all other times he is in his chair with his face hidden from view and now wears a new golden claw. I wonder why his face is always hidden from us?
