-Fun fact: I remembered close to nothing about this movie back.
-When I was watching the first, everything seems familiar.
-Here?
-Not so much.
-Guess _Polsat_ consider the second one too expensive for regular broadcast.
-
-In _Lawnmawer Man[^fn:1]_ we meet Jobe, now a genius being living in the cyberspace.
-But not so much, because in the first few minutes of _Lawmnower Man 2_ we learn that he has not left his meatsuit for the cyberspace.
-The explosion at the lab left him an amputee.
-But his talents are now in use of the Evil Corporation designing the future of cyberspace.
-
-Of course, Jobe wants the cyberspace for himself.
-
-The general plot seems similar to the first one, but they are very much different.
-The plot is much more complex, there are many more explosions and I think it makes much less sense than the first one.
-I would rate it at 2/5.
-
-But the biggest difference is that this movie is target towards certain audience.
-_Lawmower Man_ was a kid-friendly horror.
-_Lawmower Man 2_ is a kids' movie.
-They completely removed the part which tried to be scary.
-
-We've got bunch od kids (and a dog) fighting and winning against a grown-up.
-Yes, they get the help from an adult - the creator of cyberspace.
-But the main heroes are the kids.
-And the main target are the kids.

-And flying even more.

-

-And saving the day by inserting a CD in the drive.
-How can anyone consider this to be a movie for adoults?
-{{< /img-c >}}
-
-I've read that the director was locked out of the editing room as he was trying to make a different movie.
-The producers said a firm "no" and made _Lawmower Man 2_ close to the likes of _Goonies_, _Explorers_ or _Flight of the Navigator_.
-It never reaches the coolness of those, but it tries.
-A lot of people on the interweb bash the movie on logical problems or being goofy.
-Yes - occasionally the plot makes so little sense that they needed to add voice over explaining why the hell the _gang_ is going where they are going.
-Yes, it has a dog who saves the day.
-38 years old me was not amused, but the 10-year-old inside me screamed "yeah! Radical!".
-He was not doing well with being _modern_ back then as well.

-Her hair is the closest thing to a "scare" in the entire movie

-This hippie is the inventor of VR.
-Tech geniuses leaving all the tech behind to live in the wild is now more real than ever
-{{< /img-c >}}
-
-Jobe is being played by Matt Frewer, who quite often acts like Jim Carey, which is fitting.
-He is not the magical-killer he used to be.
-He is goofy.
-
-Even the music sounds like something Spielberg would use.
-
-There is no Pierce Brosnan here, as only Austin O'Brien returns from the first one, once again reprising the role of Peter Parkette.
-
-My biggest gripe is the special effect here.
-The movie takes place in the future, so we're no longer seeing green grass.
-The real world vibe is close to _Blade Runner_ or _Dark City_.
-I dig it!
-
-{{< img-c "lawnmower-man-2-1996-0001.jpg" >}}
-Cyberpunk!
-I'm pretty sure that almost all those scenes happened on the same crossroad.
-{{< /img-c >}}
-
-{{< img-c "lawnmower-man-2-1996-0011.jpg" >}}
-Almost Blade Runner.
-{{< /img-c >}}
-
-But then there is the _cyberspace_.
-In _Lawmower Man_ we had amazing, early CGI closer to an acid trip than anything else.
-Here, the cyberspace looks like ours.
-They just added CGI here and there.
-It looks like an episode of _The Next Generation_, but without most of the campiness.
-For the most part it is competent, but there is no spark.
-It's not _cool_.
-
-{{< img-c "lawnmower-man-2-1996-0010.jpg" >}}
-Our first meeting with new Jobe in the cyberspace.
-Yes, this is VR-forest.
-{{< /img-c >}}
-
-{{< img-c "lawnmower-man-2-1996-0007.jpg" >}}
-Cyberspace here give more of FMV-game kind of vibe than I would have expected
-{{< /img-c >}}
-
-{{< img-c "lawnmower-man-2-1996-0008.jpg" >}}
-The VR here more social than what Apple showed.
-{{< /img-c >}}
-
-{{< img-c "lawnmower-man-2-1996-0009.jpg" >}}
-Luckily, sometimes the VR almost delivers.
-{{< /img-c >}}
-
-But the 10-year-old me would not care.
-He would rate it as 3.75/5 or "that was cool!".
-But he he wasn't picky at all.
