Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Wordiezett So much average

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

fspappa If I could go back in time and live my all over again, I avoid this movie like a disease. I couldn't believe I wasted my time watching this. This was really cheap. The characters were unlikeable (except for Helen Hayes) and even Herbie had a mean streak. He wanted to push Keenan Wynn off the building. I couldn't believe it. Ken Berry was a wimp and Stephnie Powers was mean and cold. The effects were bad and the stunts were ridiculous and unbelievable. Herbie jumping from one building to another? Riding on the Golden Gate bridge on wires? And chasing the villain inside his own building? Come on!! As I said before, if I could go back in time, I avoid this garbage.

David Brailsford Another of my favorite movies from childhood, I classify this movie as being as good as the original for a number of reasons.Lines, this movie has a lot of funny lines and good actors. I can still today go back and look at the film and laugh at some of the scenes and lines in this film.Another good thing in this film is footage. Herbie is literally everywhere in this film.Yes it gets a bit corny at times but its not so corny as to be unwatchable. The film has aged and it really does show its era, but that doesn't detract from it's enjoyability factor. This is a good family movie even if it does have a few scenes that boarder on pg.

krillin123 The thing that brought this film down the most was that the only original character was the VW. I much preferred Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo for two main reasons. Firstly the main character (Jim Douglas) was there and secondly because the plot was more about the car. This film felt more like a regular comedy that happened to involve Herbie. I would've rather the film to be more about the car rather than just involving him (as the original and Monte Carlo were). Funny moments saved the film from total lameness, as did the amusing 1974 special effects (was there really as many special effects people involved as were listed in the credits to get these results?). Not all the charm of the lovable car was lost on the plot that didn't involve him as he still played his part when the chips were down. In terms of acting, Herbie was obviously the best performance followed (albeit by a large margin) by Keenan Wynn as the baddie. I think he actually did a better job as the baddie than David Tomlinson did in the original 1968 film The Love Bug.

Michael Rogers Herbie the Volkswagon is one of my childhood favorites and this is the movie I discovered Him.Seeing this movie again, I ended up loving it all over again and think it is a pretty good family movie.A weird thing about this movie is that even though it was filmed in 1973, it looks like it was made in the mid sixties. I guess it was Stephanie Powers's character's sense of style and the heavy use of sets and rear projection.The Volkswagon beatle has always had a persona to it and the Herbie movies highlight it."The Love Bug" and "Herbie Rides Again" are great examples of the child like spirit of Disney at their best.
