Kojo A give the robot an oscar Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/25 Full Review Jay F Probably an unpopular opinion, but I prefer this one to the original. It has more laughs, heart (and heartbreak) than its predecessor. Some things haven’t aged well, but I’ve always found this film to be quite entertaining, despite its flaws.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/20/25 Full Review Erik B Not as good as the first movie, but still has its moments. The ending is tough to watch, which is kind of silly...but shows you how attached you can get to anything with a personality. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/06/25 Full Review Gary M Watched this movie so many times as a kid, I melted the VHS tape. The robotic work alone is worth the watch Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Audience Member 35 years old and still not as bad as you'd think The robot Johnny 5 is back for another adventure following the 1985 sleeper hit This time he's exploring the big city of NY Ben is also back trying to sell goods on the streets to make some money Johnny 5 faces a bigger challenge; he's alive but a majority of people around him only see him as a machine with no soul So he tries to understand what it means to be human while also helping Ben create toys, becoming a citizen, and romancing a toy maker named Sandy They are also working with shady business partner, Fred looking to make a quick buck from a loan shark A thief named Oscar gets wind of Johnny 5 and plans to rob a bank exploiting his friendship Director Kenneth Johnson takes more of a human approach for this lovable robot longing for friends and acceptance by society Johnny 5 has a lot to learn about human behavior from trust, lying, and responding to feeling alive Should he have the same rights as a human? It's pretty bold during a scene where he goes to church (getting hit by lightning appears to be an act of God) going over creation, origin There's more fun to be had with Johnny 5 exploring the Big Apple, Ben despite still being racially insensitive is quite likable, so many more shenanigans, and some gut wrenching moments for this robot Much more grown up stuff for sure I have to admit that takes gall to make you feel for a machine The music is total 1980s cheese no doubt It also feels like there's so much going on narrative wise Yet this is a good looking film and very funny And this is still a lovably goofy movie featuring a fun robotic character exploring deeper issues about artificial intelligence vs living with feelings Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
