For Sequel Month, we're unfortunately looking at what is regarded as one of the worst sequels ever made. I confess to not watching "Robocop 2", but I really have no interest in that, given how the original's a classic. The basic plot is that Robocop joins a resistance against an organization of corrupt cops trying to take over Detroit. The premise is too basic and pretty flimsy. The effects look pretty off sometimes too. It expands little on the mythos of the franchise and mostly just reprises stuff from the original.As bad as this can get, I didn't think it was terrible. It doesn't really ruin anything about the character or the setting. I didn't find the characters to be too stupid or anything. It's just nothing special at all. It didn't make me mad or make me feel insulted or anything. It's just another one of the many pointless sequels out there trying to cash in on the success of the original. **
... View MoreI love Robocop 1 as it's my favorite Sci Fi movie with an R rating because Peter Weller is best Robocop. Robocop 2 was good not as great as the first one where Robocop acted stupid but at least he kicked Cain's ass. Robocop 3 is awful. The villains were stupid and lame one of them wears a muscle vest,McDagget look like an evil twin of Steve Martin,Coonz is a dweeb,Robocop is is an idiot who gets his butt kicked by robot ninjas as OCP is brought by a Japanese multinational corporation known as Kanemitsu. The only good thing was killing off Officer Anne Lewis as Nancy Allen apparently agree to it if they wanted to write her character off as she hated the script. This movie not only destroyed Orion Pictures until MGM revived it in 2013 but it destroyed Fred Dekker's career. It should have stayed on the shelf or never been green lit at all.
... View MoreRobocop saves the day once more. This time the half man/half robot takes on ruthless developers who want to evict some people on "their" land. Many people say that RoboCop 3 is worse than RoboCop 2 i disagree Robocop III was never meant to be the next Terminator 2 in my opinion but in a way i think it was a fun film it has good action it has alright acting and some good funny jokes my favorite moments are the ones in the Church when Murphy looks at the people and then the OCP bad guys and he kept doing that in order for him to decide what to do another great scene is when he was crawling and the theme started playing in the background and he kept looking at the TV and then he looks at the Jet Pack which is my favorite thing about this Robocop movie but also this film is basically a whole political agenda and that is why it was hated just like Superman IV: Quest For Peace none of those films are bad in my opinion i just look at them as fun they have dumb moments and characters but i have fun with them i don't take them seriously and that is why i liked them also it's not the fault of Fred Dekker or even Robert John Burke and even tho Peter Weller left the role that doesn't mean that someone else can't continue what he left and Burke does a pretty good job with both the dramatic moments and the action and also the moments with the kid which i found pretty nice besides he is still half man, half machine he has feelings just like Arnold did in T2 although he was a machine he learned from humans and that is why he sacrificed himself, i'm not saying that this movie is as great as Terminator 2 i'm just giving you an example of what i mean. Nancy Allen also returns for a small part as Lewis and i always loved that scene in the church when Alex says "Officer Down" and it came out very good. Now the problems with Robocop 3 is some of the characters for example Stephen Root as Coontz, Rip Torn and John Castle as Paul McDaggett was alright nothing great or anything i also loved those flashbacks like when he remembered his death or even when he pictured his wife and then she changed faces with Lewis and changed again into Lazarus i liked most of the characters but some were really handled poorly like Shane Black as Donnelly or even Mako as Kanemitsu but overall i found Robocop 3 is one of those movies that i had fun because it doesn't take it self serious it has some over the top action and jokes but in my mind it worked it's just another Superman III and Superman IV i liked them cause they were stupid that's all they didn't try to be serious like Robocop 2 did and that was it's ultimate defeat i give RoboCop 3 a 9 out of 10 and a A- the Original alongside the Remake remain my top favorite RoboCop Movies.
... View MoreThe first Robocop was amazing, Robocop 2 was a worthy sequel. I use to sit and watch these movies with my father. It was something he and I bonded over. This movie just ruined a good Saturday night. how do you go from solid R rated flicks to a PG 13? People loved it for the action and violence. Why ruin a perfectly good formula? Along the way Robo crashes cars, battles robot ninjas and flies through the air like a six-ton Superman. Alas, none of it can save ROBOCOP 3, a film into which very little real effort seems to have gone. It's obvious someone just sat back and expected this movie to sell itself. It didn't. Not one bit. Save your money. Save your time. Run far far away from this movie.
