My reaction
Synopsis: a tycoon and a computer genius hatch various schemes
How I saw it: on video (have on DVD), two days ago
Concept: Bad. You can't just have a super computer and/or evil twin to fight - instead, they have to be distractions from lame plots to get money.  But at least real estate isn't directly involved this time.
Story: Bad. A complete mess, but I'll give it a tiny bit of credit for the sheer volume of stuff going on.
Characters: Indifferent.
Dialog: Bad. But in a good way.
Pacing: Indifferent.
Cinematography: Indifferent.
Special effects/design: Good.
Acting: Indifferent.
Music: Bad.
Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay). It's corny and stupid, but it knows it and embraces it. Kind of like Adam West's Batman, but with a budget.
Objective Rating: 1.7/4 (Eh).
