No one is going to see Lawnmower Man 2 for the acting, however; the film rises or falls on its special effects...

…oddball yet ridiculously prescient, this uncannily accurate vision of the future was laughed out of cinemas in 1995, but seen from 2024, got absolutely tonnes right when it comes to the detail of how we live now…

By the film's end, there's a crisis with a time limit. But seldom has a countdown meant so little.

The current score of 11% is extremely generous. Why put one rubbish bag on top of another. The first film was so poor I was sad that they went to the effort of making it. I encourage you to flee this film like it is a sack of horse manure. The acting really stinks and you'll remember it for all the wrong reasons.

I never seen "Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace" before but I recently revisited the first one and decided to give this one a shot. Having Matthew Frewer replace Jeff Fahey as Jobe is a double-edged sword because, on one hand, I genuinely thought his performance was more enjoyable but, on the other, it ended up making the character feel completely different and like he had no connection to the man from the first one. Additionally, the film is loaded with problems in the form of its cheap overall appearance, its uninteresting characters, and a plot and story that feels very lethargic and unmotivated to deliver anything remotely entertaining. To put it bluntly, I found this movie incredibly boring. Not to mention, it was hard not to laugh at the idea that, in this franchise's universe, the world goes from normal 90s life to a cyberpunk future in the span of 6 years. Hello! My name is Rev.

Despite what other people view about this movie, how people trash & curse it, I will still defend this movie as one of the entertaining piece of sci-fi movie. The story doesn't really make any sense, but if I to look on the positive side, it full of action and keep my interest. It's far from perfect or to be considered classic, but still a good one. 5 stars from me
