Oh man, did I make a mistake with this one. Not having ever seen the normal version of Cyborg I sort of assumed that the director's cut would be better. Basically, all this movie did was make me want to watch the other, studio cut, Cyborg (especially since said studio is Golan-Globus!(!!!!!!)). And the only reason I wanted to watch this film was so I could watch its sequel! Goddamnit. Anyways, it isn't bad, there's some rad killing and stuff, but the fucking director decided that a movie that skips back and forth through time would be arty and impressive and thus totally lost sight of the fact that he was making a fucking JEAN-CLAUDE VAN DAMME action movie. Ugh.
Pretty good, still quite entertaining, and the sets and cinematography are pretty rad. It opens really strong, so strong that I said to John, "this might be like a Mad Max for the nineties!" I was sadly mistaken. It gets bogged down in its unintelligible plot threads, which totally block the fact that it could be a rad post-apocalyptic road movie.
Anyway, this movie isn't worth more of my time reviewing it.
2 crucified extras out of 5.
Agreed. Cyborg should have been so awesome but ended up being a fuckload of bullshit.
