   @Zaothus, I corrected it for you:
   
   That awkward moment in human history when PEOPLE THOUGHT nu-metal (OR WHATEVER THE HECK THAT WAS) was acceptable in film soundtracks. 6 years 7 months ago

   Let me start, right off the bat, by saying I am not a fan of the original Universal Soldier, and that I have not watched the two Battaglia sequels, but when I want to JCVD, neither of those things are going to stop me. Universal Soldier: The 90s-TV-strength The Return (I am SHOCKED to read this actually had a theatrical release, based on its look alone) seems to follow the feel, if not the exact details, of the second and third films, with its TV pilot set-up (which it blows up), Luc Devereaux having a little daughter, etc. Luc is up against better stronger Unisols (most notably Bill Goldberg) controlled by a mad computer. At first, I was, like, why is this computer voiced by Michael Jai White of all people, but then SETH gets implanted into his body, so that was lucky. While The Return is fun to hoot and holler at, it's NOT a good movie (give or take a couple of action scenes between Unisols). The computer stuff is nonsense, the story logic is shoddy at best, the reporter character is a terrible cliché on very front, it has T&A but is sexually immature about it, there are obvious typos on computer screens, and I really hate the noisy metal soundtrack. It's kind of fun, but not for the right reasons. 1 year 7 months ago
