Movie Review
This is number 2 most times it never easy making number 2 better then first movie because if you go off track you get some people upset this one does take off from first movie sort of but force on Ben Jahveri who works for toy factory I think here in New York so now he created mini Johnny 5 Robots to Impress Sandy and her boss so they must now make lots of Johnny 5 in a small amount of time but they run into problems as bad guys Some how cause trouble and now they must start over but help is on the way as Stephanie from first movie sends Johnny 5 to help Them out and make there deadline on create mini Johnny 5 Robots but when he finds out he is in the big city he wants to go out too look around but dumb as a rock bad guys somehow made up story to get him to break into cars and rob them then does meet Oscar later on who seems nice but turns out he working for bad guys which I see coming though so he does everything to get Johnny rob Jewel and later turns on him which was sad and did not like parts after that it was tough to watch but after that it did get better some though with battle at the end which was very good a great movie from start to the end even though it had less laughs though.



Romantic story in movie
Sort of between Sandy and Ben he likes her but she doesn’t notice yet so Johnny 5 does help him out for Love tips and words to say for Sandy it was funny when he mess up though so did like love story it fit the story very well for this movie.
Was it better then first movie
Well sort of yes and no whole This movie was not bad it needed more jokes though as first one was funny so it came close but too me the first one was better though.



Closing thoughts
Well it was not bad for 80’s movie though needed more comedy and jokes but Short Circuit 2 does not fail at all if you see the first one think you should check out 2nd one you might it as I did back in the days.

Short Circuit 2 (1988)
7/10 for good
