Summary: good movie but...
Review: This is a pretty good movie but although my copy says it supports widescreen it was reformatted to full screen onboth sides of the disk. This could have been an isolated case where it only affects my copy or some small number of copies.

Summary: Universal Soldier2 doesn't cut it.
Review: This was supposed to be part 2 of the original Universal Soldier with Jean Claude returning as the hero. Note that there was already a low budget knock off of #2 and #3 previously released without Jean Claude. Unfortunately, this low-budget sequel had none of the ambiance or realism that the original movie contained. In fact, if not for the title, you would not have known that this was the second part. Nothing from this movie linked the first movie (except for an occasional flash back). The weapons and outfits were poor. The premise was weak and and the special effects were either poor (as in bullets bouncing off car windows) or non existent. The only thing that carried over from the last movie (and all his other movies) was Jean Claude getting beatup through-out the movie in spite of the fact that he was supposed to be a "Universal Soldier" hinself. We were are pretty dissappointed with this one. It was a comedic ripoff of a good film.

Summary: Not A Great Film
Review: This movie is not just bad it's real bad. Van Damm is washed out and you see it here. With Goldberg as a co-star you know this will not be exactly the greatest action flick and it isn't. Michael Jai White was in Spawn and if you saw that film and have seen how bad that way then expect much of the same here. Nothing great in this film, just a bunch of b/s running for an hour and a half. If your so eager to see it then rent it.

Summary: Co-Star Kiana Tom from Flex Appeal was GREAT!
Review: I am a big fan of Kiana from ESPN2 and thought it was fantastic that she co-starred with Jean Claude. She did a terrific job and I would love to see her do more action films! Keep up the Good job!

Summary: Better than the original
Review: Universal Soldier is one of the best new DVDs out. It contains many entertaining features such as interviews with Van Damme and White. There is nonstop action in this movie. Even though, there are some absurd scenes it's still a must buy for everyone that enjoys action movies.

Rating:
Summary: A great movie!
Review: As good or maybe better than Universal soldier. A great and entertaining action movie. I think everybody will love this movie!

Summary: Universal Soldier 2 was HORRIBLE!!!
Review: This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It was very dissapointing, for me being a big fan of Van Damm's and Goldberg's. Some great action, but unneeded nudity and thoughtless storylines make this a movie that does not need to be see. Get the first one.

Summary: Made the Original one look entertaining!
Review: I have to admit. I just wanted to see Goldberg! After his brilliant (?) performance with Kevin Nash on the Love Boat, it seemed like it would be quite a stretch to see him perform as an out-of-control killing machine. This movie is just awful, Van-Damme is terrible - and the plot is ridiculous. The computer terminal takes over and materializes into a soldier? That sure makes sense. Watch Nitro instead - at least Goldberg wins there and that's more believable!!

Summary: Short running time causes sequel to go down in ashes
Review: "Universal Soldier" was a half decent action film and one of Van Damme's first half decent pictures. This sequel was a good idea for Van Damme, as he is starting to head back into straight to video territory. The sequel is pretty much a rehash of the original, except it's not as interesting and it is too damn short, just as it starts to get going it ends. Luc Devearaux (Van Damme) use to be a UniSol (as they nickname them) and now he is forced to take on the new breed, who get out of control. There's Seth (Michael Jai White)and Romeo (Bill Goldberg) posing the biggest threat. some action scenes in this are quite good, especially the opening one where there is a cool speedboat chase. But I ask myself, why wouldn't original co-stars Dolph Lundgren, Ally Walker, Ed O'Ross or Jerry Orbach want to do the sequel? it must have been a dodgy script. Action fans may find something of interest here. may I say.
