Lack of direction - Universal Soldier review by MS
Remember enjoying this as a child. I had vague memories of a hot summers day and sitting on wooden chairs with the windows wide open in an attempt to cool down. I thought it was ironic the JCVD was doing the same in this.
As a film, I didn't know if it was witty or comedic. It had punch lines that just didn't work. It was so bad that it was bad instead of good, put it that way.

So bad it's good - Universal Soldier review by RP
Strangely, the US Army seems to be recruiting big muscled Belgians (Jean-Claude van Damme) and Swedes (Dolph Lundgren). Even stranger, they have been 're-animated' into semi-human, almost robotic fighting machines. But frankly, that does fit with their skills as actors :)
Suspend your disbelief for a while and the film becomes enjoyable – it's so bad it's good! Plenty of action, plenty of awful acting, awful accents and even worse dialogue. Just sit back and enjoy this classic (?) all action B-movie...
