Sadly Over-hyped

Great Film overall

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Yes it seems low budget, yes it's a bit silly and yes it rips off Transformers but it's quite enjoyable after all. Don't expect a mind blowing script, instead leave your reality sense behind and see it as an enjoyable way to spend a boring 1 hour and 43 minutes on a rainy day without worrying about plot twists and profound ideas implemented on screen. See it as a parody, as it actually is, and watch some interesting action scenes (both funny to watch and with nice choreography). The Matrix parody scene was quite hilarious. If you have already seen Kung Fu Hustle you know what to expect. It's the same style of parody only this time applied on technological world of the future. This is a kind of movie that either you like, either you dislike, there's no middle way. I believe it wasn't so bad as many would say and it actually made me laugh a few times. If you have nothing to do, get a copy of it and see it. You might actually like it.Ultra_Master

Jeffrey Lau misfire, sold to me as a Chienese Transformers. Not in this life time. Actually this is an action comedy romance about a robot that was placed into the charge of a police officer above reproach. He's to take the robot out and show it the world. In the process the robot falls in love with one of the female police officers.This is a messy film that doesn't know what it wants to be. I'm used to Chinese films being all over the place, but this one really doesn't know. Is its a romance? is its a comedy? Wait this was sold as Transformers like film so there are a couple of Transformers like sequences. Whats the point? I don't know. As a collection of sequences the film really shines here and there, with some of the romantic bits quite good. Some of the action was quite good. The problem is that nothing meshes. Everything seems more like half formed ideas rather than anything complete. Its not bad so much as dull. There are a great many good ideas in there that keep you watching even as you get distracted by other things.I can't really recommend this. Despite its best efforts it just doesn't work, besides the effects aren't all that good.

Warning: This is for those hard-core action or robot fans. If you are expecting this to be as explosive as Transformers, you are in for a rude shock. Kung Fu Cyoborg is actually a romance story with robots as its sub-plot. Now, with romance as its main plot, don't expect amazing and explosive action. Yeah, there are a few action scenes but they are not really fantastic, in fact, they disappoint. The rarely-appeared Wu Jing is the only one in the movie to use Kung Fu plus he barely use it, hence the title Kung Fu Cyborg.The story: When it is production, people are saying that it would be the Chinese's Transformers. Indeed it is but it is obviously no match for Transformers. Transformers has a massive budget and Kung Fu Cyborg has a low budget. So there is a difference in the CGI robots. In Kung Fu Cyborg, you get cheap CGI robots fighting but at least they are entertaining. But when it comes to the story, it is where it is not good. The romance story tends to get a bit boring and the comedic scenes are not very amusing. There are no main action plot even there is no main villain. Action fans like me will be disappointed in lack of action. The romance plot starts a bit slow but the pace of second half of the movie seems to be faster.Overall: It is not so bad but it is disappointing as it lacks of amazing action. When we hear the title, Kung Fu Cyborg, who does not think it will be fulled of action. On the whole, it may be disappointing but at least, some entertainment values are there. It is okay if you just leave your brain at home and not expect any amazing action scene.

Extremely low budget, silly film which shamelessly rips off Transformers. Story of cyborg that falls in love with loveless none-too-hot bureaucrat. The cyborg is trained to fight crime and has to kung fu it out with a baddie cyborg. These scenes are low-budget CGI and they look a lot like scenes you've seen in a cheap video game on your cell-phone. Sorry, but that's about as deep as the plot gets. This film was so bad and so boring, it was almost impossible to sit through. There are lots of low budget films that come out with interesting stories that make them enjoyable despite the lack of quality footage. This ain't one of them. Do yourself a favor and avoid at all costs.
