Summary: UNIVERSAL SOLDIER IS INTENSE
Review: Jean Claude Van Damme, we all agree, is not one of the most cerebral actors, but he never fails in making movies both intense and enjoyable.

Universal Soldier is no exception to this rule, and with Dolph Lundgren complementing him, Universal Soldier is thrust into the realm of classics.

Admittedly, this movie does not stack up to CYBORG, but it has all the elements of a great Van Damme picture. The fight scene at the end is inspired and well choreographed, and you will cheer for Dolph every time he spouts his "Traitor" line.

Any fan of Van Damme, Martial arts, or science fiction will no doubt enjoy Universal Soldier. A must see!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: THE BEST VAN DAMME 'S DONE YET! DOLPH LUNDGREN ROCKS!
Review: JEAN CLAUDE'S ACTING HAS NEVER BEEN AS PRETTY AS HIS FACE; STILL HE MANAGES TO DO MUCH BETTER THAN USUAL IN THIS FILM. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A HUGE LUNDRGREN FAN. HE'S BEAUTIFUL, CAN DO JUST ABOUT ANY ACCENT WELL,FOR A SWEDE HE HAS A CONVINCING AMERICAN ACCENT. NOT TOO MENTION HE'S AN EXCELLENT ACTOR. NO MATTER HOW LAME THE SCRIPT HE MANAGES TO ALWAYS TURN IN A SUPERB PERFORMANCE. THIS MOVIE IS NO EXCEPTION. FILLED WITH GREAT STUNTS, EXPLOSIONS, AND AN EXCELLENT WAR/FIGHT SCENE BETWEEN LUNDGREN AND VAN DAMME AT THE END.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Action, action, action.
Review: Jean-Claude Van Damme doesn't make very many good "movies". That is, unless you're in the mood for a total mindless action picture. That's pretty much what UNIVERSAL SOLDIER is, a total mindless action movie. The movie has a semi-believable plot and Van Damme gives on of the best performances of his career (he sort-of seems like he is talking). There aren't many one on one fighting scenes, but there is tons of action.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ultra Heaven
Review: Jean-Claude Van Damme vs. Dolph Lundgren. Enough said. This movie is about two Vietnam soldiers who died killing each other. They were reincarnated and brought back in present day as 'Unisols'. A secret government operation used the dead soldiers to infiltrate terrorist attacks under computer programming. The two men eventually regain their memories and fight to the finish! Heaven! Heaven sent these two lords for the holiest movie of all. Van Damme beats up guys at a diner because he couldn't pay for the lunch bill and Lundgren kicks three guys in the face at one time. Talent! There is a good pacing to this movie that even grandma could keep up with, and it's still lordage. You may need to sit down on this one, it's intense with a final fight in a barn. Tons of kicks and 360's for everyone to enjoy.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Enjoyable
Review: Ok so its not the most slickly plotted movies of all time and the acting is pretty bad but if your looking for a movie that is enjoyable go for this. If u like films to have more acting then special effects then stay well clear but if u like Van Damme then this is worth a look.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Lundgren, Van Damme Shine in Action Confrontation
Review: Pitting two of the action genre's superstars against one another, Universal Soldier is surprisingly entertaining in its delivery of non-stop action and intensity.

Jean-Claude Van Damme stars as Luc Deveraux, an American solider who is murdered in the line of duty during the Vietnam War by his deranged commanding officer, Sgt. Andrew Scott (Dolph Lundgren). Three decades later, Deveraux resurfaces as a Unisol, a human being that has been genetically juiced for combat by the U.S. armed forces. When his memory returns, Deveraux deserts the Universal Solider program with the psychotic Scott in hot pursuit.

Lundgren returns as the "antagonist," a role he successfully played earlier in his career as Ivan Drago in Rocky IV and would later undertake in Johnny Nmemonic. Here, he plays it to he hilt, playfully shouting typical action movie dialogue - "Are we having fun yet?" - and reveling in his character's sinister plunge into post-traumatic stress disorder.

From the outset, director Roland Emmerich builds the tension that is so often lacking in today's action films. Lundgren is sinister and proves himself in the opening scene as a formidable match for Van Damme. As the film progresses, his descent into evil becomes more and more entertaining. Emmerich's approach succeeds at building the tension for the ultimate showdown. The audience wants to see this confrontation by film's end -- and it's worth the wait.

The DVD has few extra features, but what options that are present -- theatrical trailer, production notes, etc. -- are more than satisfying for an action film more than a decade old.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Van Damme And Lundgren a deadly combo!
Review: Probally Van Damme's best movie to date. as he must fend off Dolph Lundgren after being reanimated by the government. The Action is done well and the story weak but credible.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: DVD transfer well done but short on extras
Review: The movie has a lot of action in it and a decent story. I bought the DVD and like the movie. The DVD has above average picture and sound that make the special effects even more stunning. The DVD is short on extras though. It does have trailors, but no commentary track. It also has a behind the scenes special, but it only lasts 6 minutes. It is still a good action movie and worth seeing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant
Review: The movie starts off when he is in the Vietnam war and try's to save some Innocent people but Dolph Lundgren shoot's them so they get into a little Brawl and they shoot eachother and there dead so a couple of years later he get's brought back to life as a universal soldier and then start's to remember his past life and go's with a journalist to find more answers and dolph try's to stop them and at the end was the best part because of so much suspense and action it must have been the most electrifying Action sequals in the History of Action Films so obviously it's a fantastic film.

Rating: 5 stars
