Let me get right to it, I have no idea why people LIKE this more then Van Damme's film. At best this is alright but it isn't that much better. What I mean
by that is, this film doesn't have a lot of action, which it should have.
The design of the world is kind of cool but it's not that inspiring, it feels a bit cheaper then the first film which honestly felt a bit more convincing, and the first film had an edgier look. But for it's budget they did an OK job.
Angelina is pretty good in her first film roll; she is how they say, a natural, she plays Cash Reese, as a cyborg (but really a ROBOT because she was not born, she was manufactured). This film really gets confused on that, she is a MACHINE built by the Pinwheel corporation.
Ellis Kotas is good as Colton Ricks a human soldier who protects her from the corporation that manufactured her and now want her dead or in this case disassembled. Because of this, she leans they want to use her to infiltrate some other robotics corporation and injected her with a liquid explosive code-named "Glass Shadow", Mercy played by Jack Palance is, I think a human augmented with cybernetic parts that was a naval captain and has escaped from Pinwheel a couple of years before. Anyway he tips off Cash(Jolie) about her fate, she and Colt make a daring escape from Pinwheel.
I first seen this on late night TV back on Sci-fi channel in 2004, at first I was kind of EXCITED to see a sequel to the first Cyborg, but after, I just thought it was OK, I felt a little LET DOWN by it. Then by a stroke of luck back in 2007 I found it on DVD at a flea market so I bought it because I had forgotten mostly about it. I brought it home and put it in and found it about the same, it's just ALRIGHT.
I do think the movie has it's MOMENTS but this isn't my favorite, I still enjoy the first film better, it was made BETTER and it was shorter (the original cut not the director's cut), and the action scenes are a lot more FUN, you get more of an ADRENALINE RUSH from the first film, this one has very improvised fights with weak choreography which isn't that much fun. But it's serviceable at best.
Overall, a very weak sequel to the original Cyborg film, it was OK, I DON'T HATE IT, I think it can be watched ONCE AND A WHILE but I don't see how this film is WAY better.
I give it a 3/10. It's just alright, but MORE care should have went into this, but I do think it's WAY better than the third film. However if your curious about it? I do recommend to give it a look, it's not bad, it's OK.
