I would suggest that you use this film solely as a form of torture.

Reviews for Universal Soldier: The Return
From the opening chase to the closing explosions this one follows the action movie formula to the letter.
01/01/00
It's devoid of the full-fledged physical artistry of Jackie Chan or the mesmerizing carnage of the best Hong Kong action flicks.
01/01/00
Traditional movie standards don't apply here because this isn't a movie in any conventional sense.
01/01/00
Its sequel is devoid of personality and has an annoying gratuitous sentimental streak.
01/01/00
Unfortunately, the ultraviolence is the only thing about this film that is memorable.
01/01/00
This SF action sequel must have been slapped together fast: live-action stunts created by uninspired editing lead up to computer-generated imagery that's just as lame.

Top CriticPlease, even if it means offsetting a planned schedule, do not see this movie. It could be the biggest mistake of your life. I should know: I made it.
03/10/07
Once again, Van Damme has made a truly horrendous movie that's not even worth watching for the mindless action.
01/01/00
What reads brutal and exhilarating in Blade and The Matrix is pure slapstick in this muddy-looking movie.
01/01/00
Stay far, far away from this laughably bad sci-fi action flick!
01/01/00
Judging from uniformly bottom-rung acting, the cast had some sort of pool going to see who could turn in the most ludicrously awful performance.
01/01/00
Further proof that the international star once destined to challenge Schwarzenegger and Stallone at the box office is again stuck scraping the bottom of the action-movie barrel.

Top CriticThere's really no excuse for this unhappy return!

A movie review comprised entirely of sarcasm.

No review available.
07/31/05
The script is utterly witless.
01/01/00
Hopefully this is the last we have seen of the Unisol series, but unfortunately the dearth of creativity in Hollywood, will allow it to live for another abysmal dumbing.
