Movie Reviews of Lawnmower Man 2 - Jobe's War
Movie Review: Would somebody please give this movie a fighting chance!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read all kinds of reviews here and in the newspapers bashing this movie and even movie theaters only featuring it for two weeks and to that all I can say is"first of all Lawnmower Man 2 is NOT that bad, and second I personally enjoyed it IMMENSELY! I will say that no it's not nearly as good as the first and yes they did make a mistake making this one okay for children to watch whereas the first Lawnmower Man was strictly grown-ups only! That aside I really saw nothing wrong with this movie at all! It simply picks up exactly where the first one left off with amazing results! I enjoyed this movie's simplicity,special-effects,action scenes(ie the 4 teenage kids riding on bikes with guns attached shooting at the bad guys and of course the sword fight between Patrick Bergin and Matt Frewer which was the most awesome one ever filmed next to the Star Wars Light Saber fights of course) and simply that I can see this sort of thing with cyber business all over the world actually happening! Now I know that we already can do that online but this is different. It was also cool to see the actor from another science fiction film "Lathe of Heaven" playing slimy businessman Jonathan Walker! And sexy Ely Pouget playing Dr. Traces girlfriend. I've seen this movie like 8 or 9 times and never get tired of it! All I'm saying is please give this movie a chance I'm pretty sure you won't regret it!
Summary of Lawnmower Man 2 - Jobe's War
The sequel to the box office hit The Lawnmower Man takes virtual reality to a new level as four teenagers and a scientist become locked in a power struggle to stop the world from plunging into eternal chaos.With computer effects improving on a daily basis, a more visually dazzling Lawnmower Man sequel was inevitable. Ten minutes into Jobe's War (also known as Beyond Cyberspace) you know the CGI is vastly better, even if composite shots and model work aren't! The focus of the effects is still former simpleton Jobe, who's been rescued from the fireball explosions at the first film's end. In a Los Angeles of "the future," he's had both legs amputated, his head is shaved, and he's now played by Matt Frewer. The Virtual Light Institute has Jobe building a chip once designed by disgraced scientist Dr. Trace (Patrick Bergin). Like the original, this sequel is a great snapshot of the special-effects industry of its day. In 1996, the cyber city and bike ride (a homage to Tron) was as good as you got. --Paul Tonks
