Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Ginger 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.
SnoopyStyle It's the year 2074 and corporate warfare dominates. The PinWheel corporation creates cyborg Casella 'Cash' Reese (Angelina Jolie) to infiltrate the rival corporation and self-detonate using a new explosive called Glass Shadow. Colton 'Colt' Ricks (Elias Koteas) is her human trainer. The mysterious Mercy (Jack Palance) helps them escape. PinWheel leader Martin Dunn is a double agent who intends to get Cash for the Japanese. He sends Cyborg Tracker Danny Bench as well as Japanese cyborg Chen.At least the original has Van Damme fighting. It was still not a good movie. This has even less. Jolie is hot but limited in action. The whole style is a cheesy vibe with a disembodied Palance on the TV screens. There is a lot of overacting. It's pretty boring with a feel of cheap futuristic sci-fi.
trashgang This was the follow-up of 1989's success Cyborg. If you haven't seen the original one than it isn't a problem to watch this part because in the first minutes it is explained with fragments of the original what it was all about. But the second part is for me just a piece of crap. This flick has really nothing to offer storywise. And some scene's are way too long. On part of the editing there are a few jumps that I thought, hell, I can do better. Michael Schroeder, the director, who also did Cyborg 3 tried to make a good flick, everything is in it but it just didn't work out.What makes this flick worth hunting down for so many geeks is the list of actors in it. The biggest name must have been Jack Palance who I knew from so many blockbusters to independent to even trash flicks. But he's maybe 2 minutes in this flick. And see, his face is on the cover of the VHS/DVD even shown in a cyborg face that isn't in the flick, go figure out. Further we have Billy Drago from for example The Untouchables (1987) or Elias Coteas who went further to Shutter Island (2010) among other blockbusters. So much ability but it just didn't work out like it should.But there is one name that makes this flick also worth watching and that is Angelina Jolie. Back then she was 18 years old and it shows on her voice and face but you can see that she had it in her to become a major actress. This was her second flick, Looking To Get Out (1982) was her first one and was credited as Angelina Jolie Voight, and immediately became the leading star. But for the perverts there's another thing why people hunt this bad movie. Angelina goes topless and it is clearly hers to see and no stand-in. It's funny to see an 18 year old Angelina having sex. This flick proofs that even with good acting a flick doesn't work like it should be. A script is the beginning. But it's cheap to find (under 1 euro) and if you like Terminator rip-offs or post apocalyptic flicks then this is a must.Gore 0/5 Nudity 1,5/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
Son_of_Mansfield It's a kinder, gentler Cyborg movie with a love story. Awww. It's not as bad as it sounds. The action, when it is there, is decent and Jack Palance, Elias Koteas, and Angelina Jolie are always dependable. It's the fact that this is a sequel to the terrible Jean Claude Van Damme film, or is that the capper to the Masters of the Universe trilogy? I'm still confused about that. Either way, there was really no need for this movie. What was there a need for? Angelina Jolie. She may play an assassin robot that can explodes mid-coitus, but, what a way to go and even though this is her first movie, she still has the presence that made her an award winner.
Frank Markland Cybrog 2:Glass Shadow stars Elias Koteas as Colton Hicks (Rhymes with kicks!) a karate instructor who helps a Cash (Jolie) escape from Pinwheel, her creators who look to detonate her and destroy a rival company. Along the way Billy Drago and Karen Shepherd show up to displace the duo, while Jack Palance is there to deliver guidance to the duo on the run. One of the things that is quite shocking about the Cyborg franchise, is how the series has managed to have quite prolific and off beat actors in the cast. The original had Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dayle Haddon (Don't know her? Well she was in a bunch of 70's pornos) this one has Jack Palance, Elias Koteas,Billy Drago and Angelina Jolie. The third one has William Katt, Zach Galligan and Malcom McDowell. (Okay so, Cyborg 3's cast isn't that impressive.) I've never seen Cyborg 3, but I did see this on Sci-Fi channel and must admit I wasn't impressed. Actually strike that, Cyborg 2 is an often lovely looking movie, it's shot with excellent style and the visual detail make this easy on the eye. However Cyborg 1 was the same way, indeed the movie was directed with a certain amount of style, slow motion and music that made it all easy on the eye. Unfortunately like the first, this one doesn't have any new ideas or anything resembling a plot or texture. Most of the ideas are taken from Blade Runner and Max Headroom, so for various reasons the movie doesn't have much to offer beyond it's look. Another aspect is the terrible acting. Karen Shepherd and Billy Drago are absolutely terrible and Angelina Jolie isn't much better. Elias Koteas and Jack Palance come off fine but seriously Palance is playing a cyborg warrior and Koteas is a karate instructor. I guess on the positive side you can't accuse Michael Schroeder of not being ambitious with casting. Still the movie is dull and I for one lost interest in the story fifteen minutes in. Also why did they tie it in with Cyborg anyway? It has nothing to do with it's predecessor, which this manages to be worse than.* out of 4-(Bad)
