Herbie Fully Loaded (2005)

Sadly Over-hyped

Load of rubbish!!

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

First of all , there is no serious plot , and no good script . They made some random poor action movie scenes and that's not enough to create an entertaining and suspensful movie

If you end up watching this, you will probably be like me in saying that it starts off great then gradually begins to suck. It holds the attention but demands complete suspension of logic. Maggie Peyton, the new owner of Number 53 - the free-wheelin' Volkswagen bug with a mind of its own - puts the car through its paces on the road to becoming a NASCAR competitor. Fortunately the director lets the actors breathe and the music lets the atmosphere live. From an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose, so I can accept them. My final rating for this is 7 out of 10.

I still prefer the original 1968 film The love bug but this movie is a great improvement over Herbie goes bananas I also loved Herbie goes to Monte Carlo I also like Herbie rides again but despite one or two flaws I also like The 1997 TV movie but it did have a few problems but this movie is just great its a good tribute to Wait Disney's masterpiece and the story is about Herbie the little Volkswagen beetle with a mind of his own goes to a junk yard after losing so many races but he is saved by a young teenage girl who is going to New York but Herbie with his magic tricks makes her go back into racing and wims so many races for her This movie is just great CGI effects in this movie are very well done making Herbie have faces like a person which is just great so if you are looking for something for your kids this movie will be good for them okay its corny for some adults but kids and some teenagers will like it and I do agear that this movie is very good I just hate how people are saying this is a bad movie its not that bad and not the worst movie ever made and I was so mad with all those bad reviews its not that bad list to me don't listen to the bad reviews because this movie is a very good movie I give this movie a 8 out of 10. very good. This movie really found itself fully loaded.

When I was a kid (long ago), I saw all four "Herbie" movies, and I can remember being kind of underwhelmed by them even at that tender age. In fact, I thought the last two of the original four were really lame. So I made it a point to avoid "Herbie Fully Loaded" when it came out. But it came on television recently, and I decided to give it a chance since I'd be seeing it for free.I was surprised. Now, I will admit that the movie has its share of flaws. It doesn't explain why Herbie, in the time between the previous movie and this movie went downhill as a racer, and why Herbie had been forgotten by the racing community (and its audience) - you would think a Beetle that kept winning races would be remembered by SOMEONE! I could go on with listing its flaws, but I found its charms outweighed its flaws. For starters, the protagonists are very likable, down to earth and not annoyingly goofy. And Dillon's character of the rival racer was not broad and instead more of a realistic villain.The special effects are a mix of "old school" effects like the original movies used, mixed in with CGI. I actually found the combination worked, blending with each other well.I'm not saying that this is a movie to actively seek out... but if you come across it while in a silly mood, I think there's a good chance you'd find it an agreeable way to pass the time.
