Cyborg: Van Damme saves the world but kills the movie! haahah

 

Yes, because, let's face it, "Cyborg" is so bad that if it saves even one frame. Moreover, as history teaches us, every major theory is bound to have a few exceptions. The blame for much havoc good film, however, is not entirely on the shoulders of even eccentric filmmaker Albert Pyun that, in fact, it seems he wanted to make a sumptuous opera movie largely mute and all in black and white grainy. That the producers have said no it is understandable; but be aware, however, that what you see on screen is not as he had imagined this new Godard (or, rather, Ed Wood). And that's not all. Our ineffable Pyun, in fact, had planned to turn at the same time - I repeat - at the same time, a sequel to "The Masters of the Universe" and an adaptation of "Spiderman". The ambition, in itself, is not a bad thing, unless you do not overdo it, as in this case. Having failed to reach agreement with Mattel and Marvel respectively (a circumstance in itself not particularly surprising), Pyun has seen fit to re-set, costumes and partially cast, to shoot "Cyborg", and even recover the money already invested badly in the two original projects. It will not be all his fault, then, but a good hand has given it and how!
