More close to a parody than an homage to the original series.
Bad casting choices (the hair colour of Penny alone for example), 2 new irrelevant characters, Dr claw's face, no plot role for Brain (dog), no self-destructing message, Chief Quimby is arrogant in stead of angry and doesn't smoke a pipe, and even Dr claw's catchphrase is done wrong... I can understand why they wouldn't dress the dog up in a disguiss, but this is weak.
And so many non-subtle product placement it hurts.

Something positive? Yeah, it is mildly entertaining if you forget there ever was a Gadget show.

Seems to want to be a Robocop parody for kids, or put another way: "What if Robocop was a slapstick physical comedy?"

I can't help but wonder if one of the other potential actors considered to play John would have helped the film… Jim Carrey or Robin Williams in particular. It would have been tough, though. No role had much to work with in the character department.

If one of the few things that got a laugh out of me now was [spoiler]seeing Igor from _Young Frankenstein_ in the minion recovery meeting[/spoiler], that's not a great batting average. This script is objectively a mess. I'm not even judging it in comparison to the cartoon series, as I've never seen that.

As a young kid, I remember seeing this because I spent the whole feature plugging my ears; the theater had their sound system set *waaaaaaay* too loud. Between that and my age, I didn't catch any of the subtler gags and references that kept me going during this viewing. _Star Trek_ fan that I became later in life, now I'm disappointed that Rene Auberjonois had such a brief role in this movie.

Since this movie is non-stop random sound effects, I've got one that sums up the whole movie:

RoboCop for kids. There's nothing in this for anyone older than 10-11.
