The greatest movie ever made..!

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Jeff Fahey plays an unconvincing idiot being experimented upon by Pierce Brosnan. The graphics as well as his suit comes from Tron. Fahey acquires superhuman powers from doing chemicals and playing video games (I tried to tell mom that was okay.) He then gets a god complex and thinks he is Gary Mitchell from Star Trek's "Where No Man Has Gone Before" as the movie moves from an interesting science fiction film to a "B" movie.Sex, brief nudity, and the F-bomb. Rest in Peace James R. Kirk.

When I first saw this film, I didn't like it. But then a part of went "Maybe I should watch it again from a different point of view."I enjoyed it a lot more this time, but it still has it's flaws:The opening where the chimp escapes and we just see the top of the back of its helmet. The fella with the dodgy Irish accent. How can you tell he's Irish? Cos he's drinking! You American bastards!Jobe looks like a cartoon character from the beginning. He's looks like Harry from Dumb and Dumber.The beginning where Dr Angelo wakes up from his nightmare, he lights a cigarette and wakes his wife up by blowing smoke in her face. What a prick. Also in that scene, he sees the next door neighbour abuse his wife and son. This is supposed to take place in the middle of the night and yet these people are still up and are not in their pyjamas. Now that I got that out of the way, here's the stuff I do like from this movie:The concept of turning a not very bright man into a very smart man and he gets too addicted to intelligence. The oh-so-90's futuristic sets. The 90's computer graphics.Jeff Fahey was just great as Jobe.The 90's-ness makes this film work for me. There's a lot of great cheesy movies from the 80's and there's certainly a lot from the 90's.If they ever make a special edition Blu-ray, they should interview Jeff Fahey (no need to interview the rest of the cast, there isn't that much to say about their characters), the production designer and the director who was in charge of the computer graphics.As a sci-fi thriller, it is not as intelligent as Twelve Monkeys, but enjoyable if you like cheesy 90's movies.

THE LAWNMOWER MAN started life as a Stephen King short story. Along the way, New Line Cinema attached his name and title to another script called Cyber God. Understandably, Mr. King was very disturbed by this. He attempted to sue them to have his name and title removed. Eventually, an agreement was settled. And don't worry fellow King fans, the film does feature a scene from his story. The film itself exists in two separate forms: the wonderful Director's Cut and the heavily-cut, disjointed Theatrical Release. The story: In a secret government-run facility, Dr. Lawrence Angelo (Pierce Brosnan) has been running virtual reality experiments on chimps. Unfortunately, due to a new drug, his best monkey escapes, kills a guard, causes havoc, and gets killed. Depressed by the loss of his work, Dr. Angelo happens to notice Job (Jeff Fahey) the simple-minded gardener. And decides to cross the ethical line by trying his experiments out on the Lawnmower Man. As Job starts getting smarter and stronger, Dr. Angelo slowly grows terrified of his creation. Overall, the Director's Cut is the definitive version. The characters are more fleshed out and sympathetic, and there's a few brilliant special FX scenes that are missing from the Theatrical Release. The only problem: It's tough to find the Director's Cut. But it's worth tracking down, because here's something original and fresh!

(34%) Despite the always solid Brosnan at the helm, this still manages to be too weak scripted for its own good as the plot boils down to a simple man gets experimented on, he becomes dangerous and powerful, the end. The secret lab base is one of the most ridiculous examples of set design ever. It looks so dark and depressing, and by the looks of things most of the workers have either killed themselves or simply left as every time it's shown it's almost completely void of people. This very well might be the first movie ever made in which more time and effort was spent on computer effects than the script itself. A true pioneer of CGI driven junk cinema.
