A lot of fun.
... View MoreThe first must-see film of the year.
... View MoreThis is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
... View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
... View MoreIt's a ripoff sure, but who watches a Cannon movie from the 90's called "American Cyborg: Steel Warrior" and expects originality? Gimme a break. Good acting? Good story? Psh. Forget that nonsense. This is a movie about spin kicks, bone breaking, shootouts, and lots of running. The special effects are on par with Nemesis (1992) and as a low budget sci-fi actioner, it doesn't disappoint. It has a fast pace (thank god) and lots of action. Those two things are essential for any low budget flick like this. I hate sitting through a movie with "cyborg" or "warrior" in the title, and it's slow and boring. The filmmakers behind these kinds of movies realized that they had martial artists on their hands and not actors. So they loaded the movies up (most of them) with fighting, and action, and if we're lucky- some female nudity. I don't remember if anyone gets naked in "American Cyborg: Steel Warrior" but I do remember plenty of decently choreographed ass kicking. More than all that, the set design (while nothing over original) is fantastic. They really went all out to create a post apocalyptic world here that's more that just empty wasteland. There are makeshift cities and hideouts here that are visually impressive and alive with color. Lots of rubble, ruins, and neon signs. Just the way I like it. It makes for a perfect backdrop to all the cyborg ass-kicking in the movie. Not to mention the movie has lots of varied sets and villains. I mean, by general standards on IMDb this should be at least a 5.2 Anything less is just unfair. Even Roger Ebert understood that you have to judge a movie based on what it's intended to do, and who it's intended for. As a late-night cable actioner, this movie is supposed to keep you entertained and nothing else. I loved it.
... View MoreIf you are a fan of other B-Movies like Evil Dead, They Live, Hologram Man, etc Then you will love this movie. It's part Cyborg (Jean Claude Van Damme) part Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and all cheese, but in a good way.Make no mistake, this is a low budget movie, but despite the budget the effects are good for the time, the acting ranges from passable to good. The story is pretty decent with a nice twist or two. Overall it is entertaining, and that's all that really matters right? Hopefully WB will release an enhanced version of this film to blu-ray one day, I would love to add this back into my collection.
... View MoreI can't believe I actually bought this movie! Someone said B-movies are good if you watch them with an open mind, but I'd have to axe mine to go through another ordeal like this one. Aaargh! Too bad IMDb doesn't believe in giving zero stars... Well, there's this lady in a futuristic time, who can save mankind as we know it, and there's this man who is constantly trying to save her from the robots that want to kill... kill... kill. But everybody remotely associated with this movie seemed to be acting robotic - the villain, the hero, the cameraman, the director (hell, I could even see the guy in a couple of frames!) That's it. I have lost it for B-movies because of American Cyborg Steel Whateva!
... View MoreI watched this movie at midnight on Telemundo and it was just hilarious. First time for seeing it and my spanish is a bit rusty so everything seemed more exaggerated than it should be. I sure was loving it while watched it though and recommend it to anyone who just likes being entertained while not necessarily having to see the best movie ever.
