A SEQUEL TO THE VAN DAMME ORIGINAL
Review date: 2007-12-25 Rating: 6 out of 10

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.

So bad its funny
Review date: 2004-07-12 Rating: 2 out of 10

Put quite simply this film is abysmal. Its awful script and low budget is complemented by acting that makes a day-time soap-opera look like a Royal Shakespeare Company Production. Props are constucted with tin-foil and plywood in the first half of the movie then seemingly the (vast) budget overstretched and futuristic scamblers are the weapon of choice in the later half. Cyborg 3 as it's title suggests concerns the tale of an elderly futuristic gentleman with a robotic eye who has as the title suggests a penchant for recycling...not bottles though, but cyborgs! He attempts to acheive his personal catharis and character resolution through the recycling of one female cyborg who happens to be pregnant, she of course wants to protect her progeny from his diabolical clutches and plans of err...world recycling.....a decidedly anti-enviromentally freindly subtext...of course the film-makers didn't appear to think into their film this deeply...and it shows.
