2.0 out of 5 stars This is a sequel?, February 27, 2008

By	SRFireside "ZOOM!" (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

It escapes all reason sometimes when someone decides to make a sequel to a movie. It's even worse when the sequel is in no way related to the original. This is what we have with Cyborg 2. You could have called the movie anything and nobody would have known the difference. It's as if they tagged it onto the original Cyborg movie to get people who liked the first one to come back. Shame on you guys for doing this because not only have you made a weak movie but you try to sell it off as a sequel just like a snake oil salesman. Cyborg 2 is not worth much of anybody's time, which is sad considering something actually could have been done with the franchise.

The plot is actually interesting and is something I would expect to see from a Blade Runner type cyberpunk film. Corporate greed going too far in a high tech dystopic society tends to bring out some interesting developments. The problem is they don't do anything with this plot. Once the main characters find out what they need to do the movie just goes through the motions. Another thing about it is it's not even related to the last movie. Though they try to make the post apocalyptic look the same as Cyborg in some places but you also have the Blade Runner-esque cities that don't really match the original themes. They don't even mention stuff from the last movie like the plague or what happened to the last cyborg. They aren't even talking about the same kind of cyborgs here! The last movie they were a little bit human. Here they are all robot. It's not a sequel.

At least the villains in this movie have stronger motivations than the last. Too bad the subsequent actions don't make any sense. I mean if you wanted to get back a very important cyborg would you send two totally different bounty hunter types to fight amongst themselves over it? These bounty hunters are also very two-dimensional. No matter how much they try to give them depth it just doesn't work. About the only truly good thing about this movie are Jack Palance and his mysterious persona in this movie. This is one piece of the movie that is truly neat. I do like seeing Angelina Jolie and Elias Kotias and what they do with the limited amount of material they had to work with, but Jack is still tops on this one.

Cyborg 2 actually could have been good, but it lost cohesion less than halfway through. Aside from some quick clips from the last movie this one has absolutely no connection with the original Cyborg film. I can only recommend this one to people who are really interested in cyberpunk type plots but don't mind it if those plots fall flat on their feet. The rest of you might as well pass this one up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Young Jolie, November 4, 2008

By	mrsardo (Hamilton, Ont.) - See all my reviews

It's cheesy, it's kinda lame, sure. Yet, there's Angie in her first big role. I watch movies like Tomb Raider 2 and Wanted now, and then I look back at her early career, such as in this campy thriller. It's a fun movie, if only because we can see how far Jolie's career has progressed. Changeling, by the way, is fantastic. Hopefully she won't retire just yet.

2.0 out of 5 stars Far from the first one, September 13, 2008

By	Paul M. Mondragon "dragonman9785" (LA, California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This movie is a bad sequels like many other sequels out there. Original Cyborg was awesome! This one blows! Seeing a young tender Angelina Jolie was great, especially in that scene with what's his face...Other than that, I wasted an hour and a half of my life watching this. On the other hand, Jolie's first film, which I hope is this one, was enough to make me watch this and the fact that Cyborg 1 was good enough for producers to make a second. Good thing I didn't buy this! lol
