Rating: Summary: Gee. Review: Gee. Universal soldier II! Just what the world needed. I didn't hate the first one. It was an okay film, entertaining anyhow. So, I got Universal Soldier II because I figured that it'd be better. You know, since movie-making skills and visal affects have somewhat gotten better since 1992. I was dead wrong. Jean-Claude had his usual constipated frog expression on his face the whole time; all of the bad guys are pro wrestles. (Enough said) And one, I like this one in particular, Romeo, made Hulk Hogan's acting look like Humphry Bogart. Plus, every time when Jean-Claude and Romeo would get into a tizzy, Jean-Claude would say: "You never liked me, did you?" And then they'd punch at each other for a while, and then Jean-Claude would somehow knock him down and run Romeo over with something ("He'll be up soon, it will only slow him down" warn Jean-Claude) and then Romeo, after everyone is gone will move his hand and say, "I hate that guy." It isn't every day that a movie with classic dialogue comes out. Universal Soldier II also holds close to the old action-movie maker: If you shoot stuff, including cardboard it'll blow up. So, lots of that! And there's also a scene in a strip club with nude women. It somewhat reminds you of some low-bugdet 1970s movie. There's also a supercomputer that talks. And we all know that THAT makes a good movie! So, my warning is to not watch this movie. The only reason i'd watch this is if you like WWF or WCW or whatever it is that half of the actors were catered in from.
Rating: Summary: UNIVERSAL SOLDIER: PLEASE DON'T RETURN ! Review: Holrrible. Van Damme lost its way forever. It's luck for him and the producers that there atill are Van Damme's die-hard fans all around the world, so he can keep releasing this low-budget trashes and still makes money!
Rating: Summary: A UNIVERSALLY STUPID MOVIE! Review: This should have a minus rating, easily Jean Claude Van Dammes worst movie, (took a lot to take Street fighter off the number one spot! , Im amazed! ) Believe it or not I dont happen to hate Jean-Claude, on the contrary I enjoyed his earlier work though not great, is very watchable. Unfortunately Universal Soldier 2 falls short, lack luster performances, and too many obnoxious scenes that make this movie too ridiculous to watch! I hope you will find yourselves something far more entertaining, like cutting your toenails its better than this, believe me! So try some of Jean-Claudes earlier work like No retreat no surrender or Bloodsport certainly better and more interesting that what is on offer!
Rating: Summary: AN INSPIRATIONAL EPIC TALE OF HEROISM Review: This movie can only be compared with classics like A Clockwork Orange and Lawrence of Arabia.It is the epic story of the heroes..It has inspired many moviemakers including Martin Scorsese, Stanley Kubrick and Steven Spielberg..What a great use of photography.With its dream- like scenario, Universal Soldier 2 is THE MOVIE. :)
Rating: Summary: I feel dumber for having seen this movie... Review: This is one of those few, select movies which I actually feel stupider for having wasted my time watching. I can't imagine what the producers were thinking putting money into the project. It was plotless, brainless, full of bad action, bad jokes, stupid no-brainer one-liners from one of the least menacing bad guys I've ever seen. It's so pitiful that they have a huge fight scene in which the enemies are the bouncers at a strip club. Definitely do not waste your time or money on this movie. Where the first was a decent, neat, somewhat thoughtfully made movie, this is just a blemish to be ignored or erased.
Rating: Summary: No Way Jose Review: I am a big Van Damme Fan. Simply put, this movie stinks.Bad acting and ending.Buy Desert Heat for real Van Damme action.
Rating: Summary: Awesome Movie Review: I thought this movie was awesome. It had great action and a great story line. I don't care what anybody says. This movie is a must buy.
Rating: Summary: universal soldier the return Review: I bought this movie cause I wanted to see some good action of Jean-Claude van Damme. And I did see good action stuff. So why the hell does everyone thinks this movie is so bad. It is a good action movie.
Rating: Summary: A great movie Review: This is a good movie which lives up to the famous first one. A must have. There is action and drama on overtime here. And of cause Van Damme. He is always worth looking at. A fantastic movie. Buy it now!
Rating: Summary: Van Damme plays a tree ! Review: I brought this DVD thinking it would be pretty cool ! However, the movie will now join others in my DVD collection as one that I probably wont watch again EVER! This film just does not deliver, it has 'A-team' violence (loads of bullits flying and explosions but knowbody actualy getting hurt!) , stupid characters (most of them seem to have come from WWF or something) and I have to say Van Damme plays a block of wood, I also got the impression that I was watching Sunset beach or something with every simple aspect of the film being explained out for me, like the audience were retards. Its a 'watchable' film if you aint doing anything interesting but I wish I had not spent the money on buying it. Save your dosh and buy something cool.
