So much average

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Let me just get to it, this one is a stinker, I mean they didn't really try with this one. Even the story to this one wasn't very good at all, I feel the director and writer which I both blame for this just didn't care about the story and just wanted to make a crappy movie I guess. I mean this film could have been good but the idea of Cash Reese being pregnant was stretching credibility, she can't she is a robot also I feel the sequels got confused on the cyborg/robot thing.In the first film, Pearl Prophet was a CYBORG, but she was BORN HUMAN, she was ENHANCED with CYBERNETIC PARTS; Cash Reese is a ROBOT, an ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, she is designed to LOOK, FEEL,and even ACT HUMAN. See, not the same thing.This movie has it's small moments but this one is a disappointment, I first seen this with my friend on his laptop, I asked him to download it for me because I could not find it anywhere and my library couldn't get me it to order, originally I was planing on owning it, but I quickly changed my mind after I seen it. We both felt the same about this film, we didn't like it that much, he still hasn't seen Cyborg 2 yet, but he did agree that this one kinda sucked. Overall, a crappy installment that should of been a lot better. DON'T GET ME WRONG, it did have it's MOMENTS, and some of the film I DID LIKE as well as my buddy. But tone wise, it had a disappointing ending, and the story wasn't that well written. I would have been MORE FORGIVING on it if the ending was better. In the future, I might give this film another chance.I give it a 1/10. It was pretty bad, it had it's moments but those are few and far between. I hope the forth film "Cyborg Nemesis" will be at least a little better than this one. If your curious about it; you could see it, but proceed with cation.

I fell in love with Cyborg (starring Van Damme, of who I am not a great fan of) when I was a kid and saw it countless times. Later when I saw Cyborg 2 I never really connected with it because it wasn't a true sequel in my opinion. Recently I re-watched Cyborg 2 on Netflix. Even though it wasn't the best movie ever made I really appreciated this movie this time around. I had no idea who Agelina Jolie was when I was younger but was pleasantly surprised to re-discover that she played the part of Cash in Cyborg 2. I loved her acting in this movie. I thought she did a fantastic job for a young actress working a somewhat low budget flick. The love story of the human/cyborg relationship was interesting and made for an enjoyable plot. This movie was a true love story wrapped in a low budget sci-fi shell. A definite tear jerker for some. Jack Palance deserves mentioning here a he was unforgettable as always.That being said....Cyborg 3 is an utter waste of time. Its the biggest steaming pile to ever disgrace my new 42" flat screen LCD. I was really pumped to see Cyborg 3 on Netflix especially after just re-viewing 2 a short while ago. I was enthusiastic about watching this movie since I have been a fan of the original for years and years. I was entirely disappointed in this movie.When Cash finds out shes pregnant she freaks out and begs the doc to remove it immediately. This reaction is completely out of character for Cash. The love she shared with her human companion was so palpable she would have cherished this gift, this miracle and defended the child to the death. Maybe I missed something here and the child wasn't fathered by her lover and was placed in cryo suspension back at Pinwheel (any one else notice the Umbrella similarity in the logo?). Either way its still complete bullshit for Cash to act that way. It seems everything she does is out of character and I can understand why Angelina Jolie stayed as far away from this project as possible. Cash is portrayed in this movie as a scared, whiny, complaining brat. The actress playing her brings no depth to the part what-so-ever. She was created as a cool as a cucumber espionage unit, a warrior and a true survivor. This movie was an utter disaster and I can't believe Malcom McDowel actually played a part in it, maybe he was dead broke at the time. Sad, considering this man has played memorable parts in a number of great movies such as a Clockwork Orange and went on to perform in many more great movies such as Star Trek Generations. Also worth mentioning is his role in the game Wing Commander IV as Admiral Tolwyn.CYBORG 3 - Avoid this movie at all costs. The directing is HORRIBLE, with some parts making little to no sense and other parts nearly watchable at all. Most of the actors portrayals were pretty mediocre and Zach Galligan's acting wasn't that great either. Decaff was the only cyborg actor worth giving props too. The only actor in the entire movie worth watching at all was Richard Lynch. The only reason I would recommend this movie to a friend would be for the Cyborg boobies.All in all, pretty pathetic.

Cash (Now played by Khrystyne Haje in for Angelina Jolie) has wandered to a post apocalypse wasteland (after her protector has died from old age, said protector was played by Elias Koteas, an actual decent actor) and now she finds that people wander through the rubble looking for cyborgs to trade for scrap metal and cash. She leads a group of burned out cyborgs (That includes William Katt, Evan Lurie and a human scientist played by Zach Galligan) against bounty hunter Richard Lynch. Malcolm McDowell has two minutes of screen time as Lynch's employer. Cyborg 3 does manage to be better than the other two entries but it still is a largely dull feature. The problem this time is that the ideas with potential are never used well, the action sequences are routine and the name cast such as McDowell, Katt and Galligan are given little to do. Haje is indeed a whiny heroine and Lynch is too over the top(as usual) and the film lacks the inspiration or ambition to be as fun-bad as it's hilarious predecessor. (The one with Van Damme, the second one is just dull.) Also disappointing is the science fiction angle which almost aggressively resists any good idea it has. As an action flick this is routine and by the numbers B-movie stuff and it is competently made, that's the only thing positive I can say about it.*1/2 out of 4-(Poor)

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.
