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...

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.
