I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Let me just get to it, this one is a stinker, I mean they didn't really try with this one. Even the story to this one wasn't very good at all, I feel the director and writer which I both blame for this just didn't care about the story and just wanted to make a crappy movie I guess. I mean this film could have been good but the idea of Cash Reese being pregnant was stretching credibility, she can't she is a robot also I feel the sequels got confused on the cyborg/robot thing.In the first film, Pearl Prophet was a CYBORG, but she was BORN HUMAN, she was ENHANCED with CYBERNETIC PARTS; Cash Reese is a ROBOT, an ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, she is designed to LOOK, FEEL,and even ACT HUMAN. See, not the same thing.This movie has it's small moments but this one is a disappointment, I first seen this with my friend on his laptop, I asked him to download it for me because I could not find it anywhere and my library couldn't get me it to order, originally I was planing on owning it, but I quickly changed my mind after I seen it. We both felt the same about this film, we didn't like it that much, he still hasn't seen Cyborg 2 yet, but he did agree that this one kinda sucked. Overall, a crappy installment that should of been a lot better. DON'T GET ME WRONG, it did have it's MOMENTS, and some of the film I DID LIKE as well as my buddy. But tone wise, it had a disappointing ending, and the story wasn't that well written. I would have been MORE FORGIVING on it if the ending was better. In the future, I might give this film another chance.I give it a 1/10. It was pretty bad, it had it's moments but those are few and far between. I hope the forth film "Cyborg Nemesis" will be at least a little better than this one. If your curious about it; you could see it, but proceed with cation.
I've read some other comments about this film and most of them said that this is a low budget film. Maybe it's true, but that didn't seem to me when i watch this film. The special effects were quite good for a movie made in 90's and also there were some good action sequences. What else did i liked about this film were colorful characters and pretty weird music. I've seen the first two Cyborg films and i think this is worth watching sequel. Like the first two films this one also has a good plot(maybe even better than in the first film) and lots of action(this time there is more shootouts and car chases). One of the cyborgs is played by Evan Lurie who is known for some roles in martial arts films so in the end there are some good martial arts scenes.
Cyborg 3 feels like a movie that was directed by three people. One who actually knew what he was doing, one who kinda knew what he was doing and one who was totally out of it.I have not seen the previous films and can't comment on the movie's relationship with them. All I can say is that the movie undoubtedly has a very cheap feel to it. At times however the film's quality seems to boost up and sometimes it can drop horrifically in the process of a scene. This is marked by the extremely diverse quality of dialogue scenes. Sometimes the actors are stiff as dolls, but the next minute they could be delivering a speech with such passion you start wondering if you suddenly switched to a whole different movie.I was actually happy to see that the action-scenes were done quite well and many of the cyborg-characters were very sympathetic. However there are also plenty of scenes that either make little to no sense or are extremely ill-planned that they slightly ruin the experience.Not the worst movie I've seen, but far from the best of them.
STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All CostsIn the future,civility between man and machine has deceased and war wages.'Recycler' Llewyllyn (Richard Lynch,coming across as a poor mans Rutger Hauer! (yikes)) and his sidekick Jocko (Andrew Bryniarski,who weirdly resembles a beefier,blanker version of Vincent Klyn from the original film) hunt cyborgs across the desert,hoping to catch them and sell their scrap parts to the highest bidder.Cyborg Cash (Khrystyne Haje,in a role originally played by a young Angelina Jolie in the previous film) is the first cyborg to become pregnant and becomes their primary target.The story also features a character called Evans (an older Zach Galligan from the Gremlins films) as one of Cash's old flames and a walk-on part (despite being headbilled on the front cover) from Malcolm 'will-work-for-food' McDowell as Lord Talon,one of Llewellyn's main buyers.The director of the last film,Michael Schroeder,returns to helming duties here,the first in the series to feature no martial artists in the leading roles.The,erm,shall we say,less than oscar worthy production values,screenplay and acting aside,this plotless rubbish is totally far away from the essence of the original film,which,lets face it,was quite an uninspired mess to begin with and should really say it all.It's also appropriately titled,in the way it seems to 'recycle' ideas from many other movies of much superior quality made before it.This is aside from a nauseating soundtrack which grates on the nerves throughout the film.Worth watching only for the unimaginable hilarity of a woman giving birth to a baby in the shape of a grey tin can with wires dangling off the edge of it.*
