User Reviews

Awful sequel to a reasonably entertaining movie

I am still undecided of whether I like or dislike the first Cyborg Cop, it was reasonably entertaining sure but I was somewhat neutral at the end of the day. This sequel is awful though, the only reason(s) I don't rate it any lower is that the ending here is a little less stupid than the first one and also that I have seen worse movies. On the other hand, it is choppily edited with rather poor effects and locations that didn't really give a sense of interest or engagement. The organ is ridiculously overblown and repetitive, overblown I wouldn't have minded so much as long as you could hear what was going on, but repetitive is inexcusable if you ask me. The script in the first Cyborg Cop did have some cheesy moments but also some fun, witty ones. The sequel has the cheese but none of the wit. The story is derivative and predictable like the first, but unlike the first it also made the mistake of being dull with unexciting action sequences, and the characters are stock with no tension or empathy whatsoever elicited towards the hero. Cyborg Cop II also has a misleading title and seemingly has no connection to the first, not even the annoying reporter from the first film. The acting fares little better, David Bradley is made to do arrogant and chauvinistic and he seems uncomfortable doing it and Morgan Hunter is hammy and not very menacing(John Rhys Davies, one of the best assets about the first, is missed here). All in all, the first Cyborg Cop was not bad, the sequel is, to me. And no, I don't need somebody, who clearly doesn't know the meaning of the word opinion let alone spell it, to tell me I have no sense of humour, thank you very much! 2/10 Bethany Cox
