Some would sat it is not as good as the first film, and includes a scene that was in the closing credits of the first. I wondered where that scene went, and there it was. I lived in Toronto when it was filmed and my car actually appears in one scene. Seeing all those American flags all over the "old" city hall was puzzling. The film is reasonable considering how quickly it was put together. If yo9u liked the original, you should like this one. The robot is now famous and lacks his laser weapon due to moral concerns of his own. I find it a wonderful study in artificial intelligence, and robotics. The telepresence robot is still impressive to this day, second only to the "Chucky" robots. From a technical and philosophical standpoint I find it throroughly enjoyable. I like this move a lot, and recommend it. There are certain aspects that are more serious that the original, and you might find yourself liking it better than the original if you didn't like the campy flavour.
