Such a frustrating disappointment

So much average

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I really liked Nemesis I. I thought everything about it was cool- the explosions were top-notch, the plot was way too complicated and confusing, the stupid one-liners were perfect. I watched Nemesis II and hated it. Gone was the hero from Nemesis I- oh yeah, that never even happened in the sequel. Apparently the director (whose other movies I love) has some sort of muscle fetish and decided to ruin what otherwise could've been some fun (albeit not very original) sequels by constantly bombarding us with disgusting images of a big-muscled she man. Nemesis II was just borring. Nonetheless, I thought I'd give Nemesis IV a try, hoping he'd come back to his senses. Nope. It's a little bit better than Nemesis II, and I can almost -almost- appreciate the director's attempt for some drama in one setting, what comes out looking like the most bizarre adaption of Reservoir Dogs I've ever seen. This movie's highlights are all the disgusting things in it- that's about it. But what's really disgusting is the muscle-bond ox I'm supposed to find sexy. I mean, she really makes me want to throw up. And the fact that she spends most of this movie standing around naked, flexing her muscles or otherwise looking bored (and I don't think I have to tell you she can't act), certainly didn't help me like this movie. God Damn the sequels to Nemesis. The first won showed a lot of pottential.

"Nemesis 3" featured so much recycled footage from "Part 2" that the story didn't seem to progress at all, and the result was an essentially pointless and useless movie. So Albert Pyun attempted here to drive the series to a different direction entirely. Problem is that by now few viewers still had the patience to follow his "vision", that had strayed so far from the original (and, by comparison, very entertaining) "Nemesis". Anyway, when a movie includes flashbacks to earlier films and lengthy closing credits that replay many of the "best" scenes we just saw and STILL runs only about 77 minutes, you know something's wrong.Sue Price's rippling muscles are the sole point of interest in this ultra-cheesy, badly acted production. (*1/2)

The first 3 Nemesis films had at least some action. Sue Price has nothing to do, but talk, if the very soft speaking voice is hers or dubbed. Watch this film only if you care to see Sue Price's highly muscled body, including extensive breast implants, in the nude. The new material runs just 65 minutes with just a few sets (indoor room, outside set, brief run down a hallway). I kept hoping that Sue Price would be given something to do, besides hold a weapon. We come to expect that hard body action figures actually get to use their body to fight evil. I guess that it is hard to find believable opponents for the 115 pound, 5 foot, 1 inch, Sue Price to engage in hand to hand combat. Due to the nudity, this film can't be released to general TV. I have to assume that the scenes were shot with and without nudity. Probably added a half day to the shooting schedule and increased the budget by $10,000 (perhaps a 20% increase). This film is really bad. I give it a "1" because it was well lighted and Sue Price is nice, with or without muscles & implants. Shame on the company that released this half film. For low budget action, stay with USA-TV, Pacific Blue, WWF wrestling, etc.

Nemesis 4 follows in the footsteps of the previous two sequels to the original Nemesis. It follows the adventures of female hardbody / warrior Alex (played by Sue Price). This time she is given one final assignment (kill yet another victim) before ending her career as a professional assassin. Very little happens in this extremely talky, apparently near-zero budget film, except for almost-constant nudity on the part of Alex, and some slimy "android" gore. Something happened here. All three sequels were shot at the same time, from what I have heard, yet it took nearly four years for this installment to get released to video. I could swear that a male double was used for much of the full-body views of the nearly-naked Alex, and Alex's voice was always dubbed in, even when it should not have been necessary. The actual running time is barely over an hour. Did something happen to Sue Price, making it necessary for extensive reshooting or re-editing? Watch this movie, and see if YOU can figure out what went wrong. One can only hope this is the last film in this series.
