ok this movie have a terrible premise . be serious accord to the movie they have just be through an apocalyptic war yet they have money to buy huge robot and pit them against each other . each country decide instead of invest into rebuild their country they would rather fight with robot no one could afford . here a good idea and let rely on our most inept resource and jock and to fight our battle . everyone say what about the director and what about him . he make a good movie and he make a bad movie . there be no reason to give this movie some credit just because of the director and maybe he be asleep . i thoroughly enjoy this movie and because it be so cheesy and ridiculous i have to laugh . i actually have a good time watch it and well except for the cowboy mentor who turn out to be an assassin ( trust me no one would see this guy a an assassin and so it be a surprise and however lame ) what kind of training exercise be a jungle jim anyway . i be sad to see mst3k have not do this one . i be give a two star rating however because nothing could be as bad a manos the hand of fate . the budget do not matter either and i have see plenty of reasonable movie that have nothing for budget like cube . the storyline be not even plausible and i have see well act in school play . surly they could have afford an eleven year old from any middle school play . anyway pick it up and it be a fun movie to watch .
