    In the beginning I hated this film. It felt as though it should be called "My Cunty Girl" because that is what she acts like. She steals and breaks stuff without any concern for others feelings the fucking tramp. Luckily she fucks off and it starts again, this time as more of a T...( read more)erminator comedy. We the get the usual jokes about a Cyborg trying to adapt to everyday life. The bitchy cyborg then kills our protagonists pet. It's disgusting and made me hate the film even more, but I suppose this may be something that a real cyborg might do. The film then got better, as like the main guy, you start to see the sweetness in cyborg girl. Being from Jae-young Kwak this becomes far too sentimental and the beginning and ending voice overs are pointless and too similar to Kwak's previous work. Some sweet moments, some funny moments and an awesome Earthquake scene. Luckily Haruka Ayase's pretty face distracts from a very bloated and overlong film.

    Cyborg She is directed by Korean director Kwak Jae-Young who many may recognize from his popular 2001 hit My Sassy Girl. Kwak's inventive humor and storytelling is again much in evidence here and he delivers a satisfying and entertaining movie. While some of the comedy may border...( read more) on the silly, I found myself laughing at the visual gags. The film borrows liberally from other sci-fi films, notably Terminator and A.I., but crafts an interesting time-jumping, century-spanning love story that is quite effective and endearing.

    The VFX/SFX work was surprisingly top notch, especially during the climactic destruction of Tokyo as well as during some of the Cyborg's robotic effects. Some of the story's loopy continuity and Back To The Future-styled time travel concepts are a bit hard to follow but Kwak does make it work in the end, and pulls some inventive story twists.

    Ayase Haruka (Memories of Matsuko) is alluring and cute in her role as the future Cyborg, creating a likeable but somewhat stiff heroine. Koide Keisuke (Pacchigi!, Koizora, Kisaragi) is also likeable as Jiro, in an otaku/anime geek sort of way. Their love story begins in typical awkward fashion but soon develops into a sweet romance thanks to their nice and controlled performances. Kiritani Kenta (Crows Zero, 69 Sixty Nine) steals many scenes as Jiro's goofy college friend. His scene where he gets the Cyborg drunk is especially fun to watch. The always funny Takenaka Naoto (Swing Girls, Waterboys) also makes a hilarious cameo as one of Jiro's wacky and high-strung college professors.

    There has been some confusion regarding whether or not Cyborg She is in some ways a remake or re-interpretation of Park Chan-Wook's 2006 film I'm A Cyborg, But That's OK. While both films do share more than a few similarities and themes, they are two completely different films and are not connected in any way. Although I am still of the opinion that Kwak was influenced by Park's film, no official connection exists as far as I've been able to gather.

    Cyborg She is an enjoyable sci-fi fantasy that will have audiences hooked from the start and invested in the romance between the attractive leads. While some may find the story a bit melodramatic and the humor a tad forced, I liked the film a lot "

    Ok so this isn't the right place for this I'm sure.. But I want to know. I watched this movie on a plane from Tokyo to USA and I desperately want to own it. However, I cannot find it with the English subtitles like I viewed it on the plane. Does anyone know any site anywhere or anyplace to get it? Please help! and Thank you in advance and thank you for putting up with this post. <3 Great movie watch it if you get a chance!
