Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Uriah43 Having allowed greed to get the better part of them over a long period of time, the corporation known as O now faces bankruptcy and this greatly complicates their pet project aimed at renovating the entire city of Detroit--for a huge profit. So to help them with their diabolical scheme they merge with a Japanese corporation who shares their desire to build a new city named Delta City over the ruins of Detroit. Needless to say, to do that they have to remove the residents currently residing there. With that in mind they hire a firm known as the Urban Rehabilitators led by a ruthless man named "Paul McDaggett" (John Castle) who then issues instructions to physically evict all residents within the proposed Delta City radius. However, their heavy-handed methods soon draws concern from "Robocop" (in this film played by Robert Berke) who s the rebel faction fighting for their rights. Angered by this the Japanese corporation sends a robotic ninja named "Otomo" (Bruce Locke) to handle the problem. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film lacked the depth of both of its predecessors and seemed both contrived and artificial as well. That said, while I don't consider it to be a terrible movie by any means, it wasn't exactly that good either and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.
Minahzur Rahman I'm shocked with the amount of flack this film has received. Just because the violence was toned down, doesn't necessarily make this film a bad one. Okay, the plot may have been a bit lame, but it was still a good film nonetheless. I don't know why, but I gotten the impression that the film was targeted towards a more younger audience since the first two films were clearly adult films, and if that was their original goal then they've succeeded. I actually think the third instalment was much better than the second instalment of this RoboCop franchise series. I was actually disappointed with the death of Lois in this movie, and that wasn't required. What makes RoboCop 3 unique compared to the other RoboCop films is the fact that what this film contains can't be found in these other films – you need to see it to believe it.
TheVAFan Oh dear, deary me, I'm reviewing this film stuck up a tree!Oh dear, deary me, it's not a place for a reviewer to be!Still I must it, getting stuck up a tree for 2 hours would be more preferable than having to watch 2 hours of quite frankly, the biggest disgrace to any franchise in the universe... not even something like Batman & Robin is as bad as this. (Yes, I just mentioned that film)Honestly just reading the plot in one go, you'll think this must have been attempted as some sort of parody.At least, that's what most of the cast felt it was gonna be as nearly everyone is running around playing the frantic game we all know and love called "Who Can Overact The Most?" and everyone would have probably won the grand prize of a dream holiday as there is tons and I mean TONS of overacting from everyone across the board.Robert John Burke is quite embarrassing as Robocop himself, hell even that bootleg Robert Cop toy could have given a better performance.It's not the rubbish acting from everyone that killed the film though...It's the fact some idiot at Orion thought "You know what could make this film even better? Let's cater it to the younger audience, we don't give a crap about the older fans. GREENLIGHT!"Yep, your favourite cop has been downsized to a PG-13 audience meaning he won't be stabbing villains in the heart and causing blood and guts to fly everywhere.Instead he'll take the quite frankly terrible and cheesy villains out in some of the worst ways possible.Oh yes, did we forget to tell you he can fly now since he has wings?YAAAY, MORE TOY MARKETING!Cough cough!Anyhoo, the special effects are quite awful as well and even though Basil Poledorius is back from the first even his score is bland. (Can you blame him? Look at what he had to work with!)So to put it frankly, Robocop 3 is a pile of dog poop. And it smells really bad too.As for the cop himself I'm sorry to say that after this disaster he never recovered. The poor guy got shoved onto TV afterwards with a crap TV show, a mediocre cartoon and a mediocre mini-series. Even the recent remake hasn't done him any favours.Maybe it's time he shut himself down and left us alone.Yeah, that would be more better.No matter how hard everyone else tried, there will never a better Robocop than the original.Now can someone get me down from this tree please? I've been here for way too long now and I need to return to my life.
leplatypus For years, i heard that this movie was terrible, that Robocop has been watered to kids fun ! Well, this is not true, at least not entirely
Yes, i it that the special effects are horrible, especially the flying Robocop ! Yes, his switch-off arm looks like a toy gadget ; Yes the Otomo cyborg is terribly awful, badly directed and inspired as he really don't add anything to the story but on the other hand, it kicks ass ! In how many kid (disney) movies, you see America becoming Amerikka ? Here, the poor Americans are arrested and deported by fellow Americans who look like SS and for business interests; if they resist, they are labeled terrorists... In how many kid (or also parents) movies, do you hear that firms can become abusive, that they are money obsessed, ready to exploit the feeble one ! In how many kid (or also parents) movies, do you see that globalization is bad and that work can destroy life ? In how many kid (or also parents) movies, you see cops refusing to take unjust orders, medias objecting to give subjective news ? So Robocop leaves his boss, his firm, his directives to rebels, to fight against the order but for social justice ? Finally, for sure, this isn't the usual, expected political correctness that we are constantly brainwashed so this time I thank Miller for a really acid and mean story ! In addition, the cast is pretty cool : Dr Lazarus is a good character which seems to be really attached to his robot and the young kid is really talented ! So after the disappointing Robo2, this one really improves in the ideas but failed in technical !
