I was very surprised to find this movie on the bottom 100 list. I really liked it. Does anyone else agree?
shareyeah i liked both actually. 2 was better i thought. i've seen worse. house of the dead 1 and 2. hellraiser 4-8. (1-3 were decent. etc.

As a sequel to The Lawnmower Man it's terrible, but if taken on its own merits its a breezy, enjoyable little movie.
I was fully prepared to hate it, but gave it a chance and found it moving at a brisk pace. What can I say--it held my attention.

Well, it wasn't a bad movie but I still like the first one way better.
shareAs a sequel, it's passable at best.
On its own, it's a fun little cyberpunk adventure. Well worth the couple of bucks you'd spend on it now in any department store bargain rack.
Very far from the best sequel, but no way this should be making the bottom 100. This is a perfectly watchable, and dare I say it in places an enjoyable movie.
shareI like both Lawnmower Man 1 & 2. This sequel is good and funny, because the filmmakers thought, that Virtual Reality would make such a huge change in the future. It's an enjoyable sci-fi movie, we can see evil Jobe here.
shareYou guys are crazy. We drunkenly watched this at a party and ripped it to shreds, this and the original are top ten worst films of all time.
shareI liked it, although I have to say it's still a crappy film. This is a film I am stuck watching alone, because I don't know anyone else who likes it. It also doesn't give the first film justice. But I do enjoy it from time to time, when I want a wee bit of eye candy and bad acting.

I'm currently watching LM2 right now. I find it enjoyable. I don't understand why this movie is rated so badly. I haven't seen the first one yet. I guess I kinda ruined it for me but oh well.
I guess we're a minority of movie goers that like (generally) bad movies.
Gordan Ramsey told me to go **** myself! But I cant reach!
Don't worry, DanD. From what I've read, this movie altered events from the first one to fit what is basically a new, seperate story. (Kind of like Army of Darkness in that aspect, I suppose. Or rather, very much like Army of Darkness.)
So go watch LM1 anyway.

Yeah, BrainGremlin is right, you haven't really ruined the first one, in fact, the first one may seem better, after having seen LM2.
After you see part one, you will understand why part 2 is rated so badly. The first one was shot like a "real" film, but part two was made to monopolize on the first, they didn't make it comparable to the first at all.
See part one, you won't regret it.

This film was terrible, and if you truly think this piece of crap is better than the original, your a complete moron.
Then again I’m not surprised. No matter how bad a film can be you will always have a bunch of weirdo’s that like it or say its better than the first.
TiggerPromfit I'm not sure if you were directing that at me or in general, but for the record...
LMLS WAS terrible, but I still enjoy it from time to time (I have bad tastes). But part one was great. No comparison.

I liked it the first time around, when I was younger. I recently saw it again and realized what an insane piece of crap it is.

Yep, it gets worse every time I see it, I knew it was crap the first time I saw it and yet I still watch it Probably because I like most movies that have to do with VR...for over 20 years now I've been waiting for VR to get popular and after all this time many people still don't even know what VR goggles are...or Video Glasses as they are called now a days.
grrr arg h4x0r 7Eh pl4NE7share
I'd never seen it before today. It's horrible.
I have a pair of video glasses (I normally see them called HMDs -- head mounted displays), and it's still a mediocre technology. It works okay, though, when I want to watch a movie in bed.
Yep, not a very good movie LOL
As for HMD's I think there pretty cool especially now with all the Augmented Reality apps there are for cell phones and suck...I used to think AR was kind of useless, but I now see how handy it can be, and hopefully will help pave the way for HMD's getting more popular.
grrr arg h4x0r 7Eh pl4NE7share
Well it is kinda like the Matrix to the point too and this came out over a decade earlier...
Some of the VR stuff was cool and I love watching movies about technology just because it's always wrong... Hackers for ex. LOL.. Firewall with Harrison Ford is the most realistic hacker movie I seen yet...
I too can't believe this is on the bottom 100, the first movie was good I mean sure far fetched but the concepts and all...
Just hard to see how people can hate on this so much when it's like making a WoW server for people to live in instead of real life, or you could kinda compare it to Surrogates even...
I think that just shows how innovative this movie was when it came out!

Yeah, I liked it, it's a fun little watch, only problem I had was that it was a sequel to the Lawnmowerman, because it didn't feel like it. It could have been a great stand-alone movie, but it's not as bad as it's made out to be, in fact the rating surprised me.
