Daniel M. Kimmel Variety No one is going to see Lawnmower Man 2 for the acting, however; the film rises or falls on its special effects... Apr 29, 2005 Full Review Andy Seiler USA Today Mowing the lawn might be more involving than watching this subpar sci-fi sequel, which manages to be complicated and witless at the same time. Rated: 1.5/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Susan Stark Detroit News Rated: 1/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …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… Rated: 3/5 Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Mal Vincent The Virginian-Pilot By the film's end, there's a crisis with a time limit. But seldom has a countdown meant so little. Rated: 1.5/4 Mar 1, 2022 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Nov 8, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Steve D The first was a mess. This is FAR worse. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Jim Carrey is Max Headroom in "Ready Player Two: Beyond Cyberdumb" Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review robert p A Very weird look after Lawnmore Man. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
