"would you believe this guy could be the mayor of Detroit"--- considering the voting patterns of Detroit residents yes I actually would believe that guy could be the mayor of Detroit in fact he appears overqualified in relation to his predecessors.
Both the mayor and the drug Lord kid should be at least 10 years older to make the film more believable. But of course, nobody look at Robocop because a löning för belieavability. 😀
It really was amazing especially the transition from real actors to stop motion when Robocop jumps on Kanes back to try and remove his brain. Practically seamless.
Just rewatched 2, it honestly has some good elements and scenes. The prototype Robocop scene was hilarious and right on brand. The Psychologist had poetentional as a villian. If you want a good version of Robocop 2 read Frank Miller's Robocop. It a uncensored comic adaptation that works a lot better.
Kwame Kilpatrick was only 32 years old when he became the mayor of Detroit... that being said it would probably be for the best for Detroit if everybody just forgot about Kwame
To me, "RoboCop 2" feels a lot like "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom": lots of goofy stuff and dark humor mixed with gory scenes. Not as good as the Original Movie, but still enjoyable.
Frank Miller's Robocop 2 is the better version of that movie. It's a unfiltered adaptation of Frank Miller's original script for that film and vastly superior. No Cane, no Hob, no Nuke. The Behavorial Psychologist was actually supposed to be the main antagonist.

Part 3 actually had some really powerful moments in it though. I.loved the scenes with lewis in the church and even more, the police walkout gave me chills.
The reason the suit in Robocop 2 was blue was because they used fiberglass instead of metal. This was so Peter Weller could move quicker and wouldn't take hours to get into costume between takes.
Wait a minute mate, you're going on about the rebels holding their weapons when the ED-209 tells them to drop them. Wouldn't matter anyway. I mean, dropping the gun didn't work too well for Kinney, did it?

They had to make a Robocop 2 arc. You couldn't have a movie without another emotional mountain to climb and I think it's brilliant how they pull that off so early in the movie.
I don't really understand why people hate the second robocop so much, I thought it was really good, with great comedic moments like good robocop, fantastic righting by frank miller, I really like robocops suit the blue works with the police esthetic, great killer robot, I liked how it followed up on the plot with him still, being Murphy and OCP telling him he's not, the bad guy kid I thought was okay, I would like on explication on why he's in so much power but it doesn't ruin the movie. To be honest I kind of like the second more then first. I still think robocop is a fantastic movie but I don't think robocop 2 is bad at all, definitely not as bad as tree.
Robocop 2 isn't bad.. It's not as good as Robocop, but it's got some great scenes, great action, better practical effects than the original, and the satire is on par with the original.. All its elements don't mesh together as well as the first, but it's still pretty good. Robocop 3 is a mess, but it's better than the boring cliched remake..
I completely disagree with you and agree with Mark. When I left the theater after seeing the second, I left unhappy. I felt even back then at about the age of 10 that they had some great concepts but could not pull it out and destroying everything that was accomplished in the original. I also did not enjoy the scene that the writers later did not do anything about later, and that was the whole thing with his ex-wife and staring out a window watching her. Murphy, not Robocop was satisfied and ready to move on with his life. The second does not have that feel, at all. It feels like all the character building from the first movie was completely destroyed and they acted like it never happened. It feels like they did not enjoy the story of the fist and left some of those elements in the second and the problem is that it did not make any sense to anyone. It is again a let down and we are left with a completely watered down movie from the original. Many elements that were left open from the original were never completed in the series and were never mentioned again. And the man that owned OCP turned into something he was not and that was an asshole. Remember, he was the redeeming factor of the film that put common sense back into that situation by firing Dick and allowing Murphy (Not Robocop) to kill Dick. Without that action/ decision that ending would not have happened and there would have been a different continuation. Everything rested on that termination of employment. Showing that the owner of OCP is not a bad guy. So, the other movies are a sham.
Peter Weller did not turn down Robocop 3, he was just unavailable at the time, he even had a personal meeting with the Director and even tried to maybe delay the filming for a year or 2. But the Director could not wait that long for Peter Weller to return for the Role. So he got somebody else to take over the Role.
Ooo, after the sequel to the remake, they should then remake the remake, and then remake the sequel to the remake... except use only green screens and CGI for 90% of the movie. Mathematically I think 2 shitty remakes cancel each other out and then.... wait, 2 negatives make a positive so... I'm gonna be honest, I Math at a 5th grade level.
Just a fun fact... Murphy's/RoboCop's home address does somewhat exist. Primrose Lane is a street in a northern suburb of Detroit called Southfield. Actually it's not a bad neighborhood. However, the number 548 does not exist, but the street does. Personally, I'd like to have one of those Taurus LX the DPD drives in the RoboCop movies, and make it look like one. It'd be awesome, and I guess it'd attract curiousity - especially if I'd manage to get a replica of a DPD uniform and armor from the movies. I'd drive the thing dressed up like that on car meets. No doubt!
Robocop was all about the duality of Robocop/Alex Murphy. How he maintained his sanity being removed from life essentially but still in the world with all these memories. As the sequels moved forward they strayed away from this duality which was the key central point of the story. We should have seen him dealing with emotions any human would face. Doubt, imposter syndrome, depression, inadequacy, resentment....instead we got....well what we got. Had he dealt with all these things the community coming together and helping him would have made more sense.
I actually like the robocop reboot to be honest. It wasn't as bad as people said it was. It wasn't like the original sure, but a modernized version of it was pretty cool to be honest.
That was the entire gag in the first film. An overly expensive machine that never works right. Full of oversights, like the inability to walk down stairs.
The original (the Director's Cut version) is awesome, the second one, well... it was okay, but it was not as good as the first. The third film... it sucked.
Venom NBK You know that awesome scene when Murphy gets blown to bits? Yeah, lets turn it into Murphy getting a dud from a exploding car, THAT SOUNDS SO F***ING AWESOME. It wasn't...
i liked the trilogy, first the best, i liked the weapon and jetpack on 3, but many years...i never noticed that arm hiding on back XDDDDDDDDDDDDD, but its just old movies of course. they didnt had so much resources as nowdays. i bet they had alot work than these movies of modern days and much low budget i think.
As a kid at that time watching Robocop 3 when it first came out, it wasn't really that bad. I didn't even realize the one acting Robocop wasn't the same actor (Peter Weller) anymore. It sounds a little bit dumb but it is what it is.
@michael cooper what part of that is against the constitution? Your bias is way too obvious for you to be taken seriously. At the very least explain what you mean because this makes no sense. By the way ALL democrats support red flag laws, and banning of ALL firearms, so he's still the far less extreme of choices.
@michael cooper So you're mad at that, but not at democrats for also supporting red flag laws, have banned much more than just a bump stock, intend to ban all firearms, and banned the word illegal immigrant in all NY? That's 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th By the way he only banned criticism on college campuses were you already aren't allowed free speech because it's not a public area, same as a workplace.
Robocop 2 doesn't forget the arc that happened to the character in the first movie, it flat-out ignores it. The craziest thing about Robocop 2 is that it dumbs down the dramatic substance that's in Robocop, but retains the ultra violence...and yes, has a 12 year old drug lord in it. What demographic was the movie targeting? That's anyone's guess
On the topic of how DISTASTEFUL it was to have a 12 year old boy be such a major villain, I read an article about TERMINATOR 2 JUDGEMENT DAY filmed just one year after Robocop 2 and the writers of that movie made sure never to allow the 12 year old John Connor (same age as the kid in Robocop 2) to handle a gun. He might have handled one briefly when he was with Arnold in the underground bunker to inspect the weapons to make sure they work but never did he FIRE one or use one in a threatening manner, not even to slow down the T1000 (bullets did slow it down some). The writers were determined to keep him "innocent" (yes he did break some laws like stealing money from a bank's computer but never anything violent) since he was just a boy so ONLY the mother and Arnold fired guns.
I thought the kid was bad ass. I think it's plausible, the kid was a genius and a cold blooded bastard. It's not unheard of to have young protégées excelling very well in their craft. Like Mozart, wrote his first sonnet at the age of four. And so on so on. It's possible there could a kid that could do that. Also I don't think the kid actor gets enough credit playing this young villain. I thought he was great, the kid has talent! I thought this kid had some potential to be a really good actor. And considering how most child actors can be obviously terrible, I thought this kid in robo cop2, successfully conveyed a cold, creepy, erie, manipulating monster. I kinda compare him to almost Griffin from berserker, if he wasn't killed off too soon. But hey that's just me. I respectfully disagree with your opinion.
flipingboredcritic its a kid... if i was part of the cartel, it would b really easy to dispose of him... how the hell do u compare a druglord to a music artist??? lol
yea i really dont blame kid actors even if they r bad cause ovisly if the film is bad its problynot their fault also they do need kids or even babies for scenes i think this kid did good andcould had went on to become adecent actor i know he was working for cain it was different instead of making the kid the good guy
I loved Robocop 3. Sure, it has some weak spots and continuity issues, but the plot serves as a pretty good window into the struggle between establishment and resistance. Robocop 3 is pretty much the culmination of what has happened from the first film that leads citizens to ultimately become mobilized and fight back.
Something that I really hate about sequels is how, in many cases, they tend to retcon things that were established in the first movie. This is most prevalent with bad sequels, but even the good ones tend to do this sometimes. (Spoilers for Terminator, Highlander and Transformers ahead). For example, the first Terminator told us that you can't really change the past, but then T2's like "No, you can change the past if you want to." Or Transformers, it ends with Bumblebee getting his voice back, but then at the beginning of the next movie it's broken again for no explainable reason (not to mention the fact that Megatron was killed at the end and then the Decepticons easily revive him later). Or Highlander, which ends with Conner winning the Prize, which means that he is the last of the immortals, but then suddenly there are more in the next movie. Then we have RoboCop 2. I could probably go on and on, but you get my point.
6:02 to Rich Evans this: they should've dropped their guns and felt some temporary relief before the robot goes "assessing remaining threat: neutralize" or simply repeats itself like it was malfunctioning, instantly re-heightening the tension before the kid finishes hacking into it both a more sensible scene and does a better job manipulating the tension
You know there is an alternate theory that Murphy never came back to life instead the computer program was designed to do exactly what it did use Murphy's brain and experience and memories as a police officer to become a cop however that also included the life he had showing that nature may actually affect nurture. So it's an interesting theory that may be it really was a robot just experiencing emotion of other people's lives. If you are like me who's had brain injuries and you don't remember your past life you kind of can relate
The big problem I have with all of the iterations of "Robocop" is that even though they allegedy are set in Detroit, there are no ads and/or product placement of Better Made potato chips and Faygo pop - snack-food staples that have existed in Detroit since 1930 and 1907, respectively!
RoboCop 2 isn't terrible, it's not great, but it can be a beer and junk food movie. RoboCop 3is unwatchable. The original is a classic. I'm still yet to see the remake, I doubt I'll ever bother with it.
Yeah that's true. But RoboCop 3 was bad because...well...I don't have to explain it, Mark does it pretty well in the review xD. But the remake was just SO BORING!! Honestly, it's only SLIGHTLY better than RoboCop 3, but not by much lol.
The funny thing is I read a series called Artemis Fowl, and he is a young kid who is basically a crime lord, so it can be done right, in response to his thoughts on the kid crime lord in the movie.
It still has Stephen Root, one of the best of modern character actors, as well as the late, great Daniel von Bargen - and they also both appeared in "O Brother, Where Art Thou?", though they shared no scenes in that one.
I lacked all the intelligence of the first and missed the mark on everything. The first was the best, with the news clips, and often the bad guys and the corporate guys would say the exact same sentences. Like the OCP's Dick Jones: "I say good business is where you find it", later Clarence Boddicker says: "Good business is where you find it" when dealing with the coke dealer. It's full of these pearls.
It was really good. But people wont be talking about the reboot in 25 years, however, people will still be talking about the original 25 years from now. Thats the difference between the remake and the original.
I think that if instead of a kid, you made Hobbes someone that was in his late twenties to early thirties, that would fix many of the problems with RoboCop 2.
No, the television series was better than 2 and 3, and three was a step up from 2. (At least three has Nico, and the medical examiner from NCIS New Orleans.)

6:12 In the rebel's defense, dropping your weapons has never been effective at getting the ED-209 to not fire at you.
The reason the suit in Robocop 2 was blue was because they used fiberglass instead of metal. This was so Peter Weller could move quicker and wouldn't take hours to get into costume between takes.
The original robocop design was suppose to be bluish but Paul Verhoeven went with the more metallic grey bc it didn’t glare as much when filming.

It is again a let down and we are left with a completely watered down movie from the original. Many elements that were left open from the original were never completed in the series and were never mentioned again. And the man that owned OCP turned into something he was not and that was an asshole. Remember, he was the redeeming factor of the film that put common sense back into that situation by firing Dick and allowing Murphy (Not Robocop) to kill Dick. Without that action/ decision that ending would not have happened and there would have been a different continuation. Everything rested on that termination of employment. Showing that the owner of OCP is not a bad guy. So, the other movies are a sham.
🤣 Dude...
Actually on the VHS release of the film there was an anti drug PSA
Robocop 1 and 2 had final pre-credit shots I will never forget.
Peter Weller did not turn down Robocop 3, he was just unavailable at the time, he even had a personal meeting with the Director and even tried to maybe delay the filming for a year or 2. But the Director could not wait that long for Peter Weller to return for the Role.
So he got somebody else to take over the Role.
The kid drugstore vs the hilarious mayor was perfect!
If they make a sequel of the RoboCop remake i hope its rated R
Ooo, after the sequel to the remake, they should then remake the remake, and then remake the sequel to the remake... except use only green screens and CGI for 90% of the movie. Mathematically I think 2 shitty remakes cancel each other out and then.... wait, 2 negatives make a positive so... I'm gonna be honest, I Math at a 5th grade level.
Can you review the remake?
6pakUnited better yet, can he remake the review?
I wish they would have at least kept his old suit. All they had to do was repaint it. But noooooo they had to redo the whole fucking suit.
Why??
"Can you believe that this guy is the mayor of Detroit"
You might wanna study up on America, friend
I remember liking robocop 3, i was young like 12 and it was the only robocop i could watch because it was a 15 and the others were 18.
Just a fun fact... Murphy's/RoboCop's home address does somewhat exist. Primrose Lane is a street in a northern suburb of Detroit called Southfield. Actually it's not a bad neighborhood. However, the number 548 does not exist, but the street does.
Personally, I'd like to have one of those Taurus LX the DPD drives in the RoboCop movies, and make it look like one. It'd be awesome, and I guess it'd attract curiousity - especially if I'd manage to get a replica of a DPD uniform and armor from the movies. I'd drive the thing dressed up like that on car meets. No doubt!
What happened was they turned Robocop 3 into a kids movie
Since the franchise was bringing in younger auduince, there was backlash from parents due to the graphic violence in the first two films
Robocop was all about the duality of Robocop/Alex Murphy. How he maintained his sanity being removed from life essentially but still in the world with all these memories.
As the sequels moved forward they strayed away from this duality which was the key central point of the story. We should have seen him dealing with emotions any human would face. Doubt, imposter syndrome, depression, inadequacy, resentment....instead we got....well what we got. Had he dealt with all these things the community coming together and helping him would have made more sense.
I actually like the robocop reboot to be honest. It wasn't as bad as people said it was.
It wasn't like the original sure, but a modernized version of it was pretty cool to be honest.
@darklyger64 - re: "to be honest" (x2) Do you use that meaningless phrase much in daily life, too?!? Are you NOT "honest" ... All The Time ?!?
"Would you believe that this guy is the mayor of Detroit?" Ah... Yes
in my opinion robocop 1 and 2 are both awesome.
Kids don't do drugs nor dismember your enemies! Robocop smiles.
saw this movie at the cinema with my dad when i was 12 i liked it then as my IQ was slightly lower then 13 back then lol
Given what a mess Detroit is, I can totally see the guy in _Robocop 2_ as its mayor.
LOL @ ED-209 being *"a robot that sophisticated"*!! Ahahaha, it was perhaps one of the most malfunctioning things OCP ever produced!
That was the entire gag in the first film.
An overly expensive machine that never works right. Full of oversights, like the inability to walk down stairs.
I think this was the first Robocop movie I'd ever watched during my childhood. As a kid, those Japanese ninja-bots were pretty cool. Ahh, memories :).
The original (the Director's Cut version) is awesome, the second one, well... it was okay, but it was not as good as the first. The third film... it sucked.
That mayor became Kwame Kilpatrick, the former boy wonder who is now serving a long sentence in the federal pen for corruption.
Still better than Robocop (2013)
*2014
Not even close
Venom NBK The new RoboCop is utter shite!
Venom NBK You know that awesome scene when Murphy gets blown to bits? Yeah, lets turn it into Murphy getting a dud from a exploding car, THAT SOUNDS SO F***ING AWESOME.
It wasn't...
2014 get your fact straight before spitting crap
that arrested development t shirt is awesome
hey mark review the new robocop xd :) i would watch it
i liked the trilogy, first the best, i liked the weapon and jetpack on 3, but many years...i never noticed that arm hiding on back XDDDDDDDDDDDDD, but its just old movies of course. they didnt had so much resources as nowdays. i bet they had alot work than these movies of modern days and much low budget i think.
Robocop 3 would've been at least nice if that blend android Otomo had a huge exotic samurai armor. Or just anything but ninja outfit...
As a kid at that time watching Robocop 3 when it first came out, it wasn't really that bad. I didn't even realize the one acting Robocop wasn't the same actor (Peter Weller) anymore. It sounds a little bit dumb but it is what it is.
It's so bad even at age 12 when I rented this I knew it sucked.
Hey Im from Detroit our last mayor was 35 with a spending and temper problem lol
Could you review all of the bat-man movies, and great review!!! I'm exited for a new vid!!!
Love The channel dude. I noticed that you have a green hue. I think you might need to rethink your lighting for the green screen.
The remake of robocop needed more action scenes and blood.
the year is 2022 fact is stranger than fiction and the mayor of Chicago is even more unbelievable.
The mayor of Detroit is more believable than Trump as president.
More believable than a billionaire businessman yeah okay.. might wanna get checked for TDS
This is a video about robocop, get over it.
@michael cooper what part of that is against the constitution?
Your bias is way too obvious for you to be taken seriously. At the very least explain what you mean because this makes no sense.
By the way ALL democrats support red flag laws, and banning of ALL firearms, so he's still the far less extreme of choices.
@michael cooper So you're mad at that, but not at democrats for also supporting red flag laws, have banned much more than just a bump stock, intend to ban all firearms, and banned the word illegal immigrant in all NY?
That's 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th
By the way he only banned criticism on college campuses were you already aren't allowed free speech because it's not a public area, same as a workplace.
8:27 Why were see-through raincoats ever a thing?! 🤣
8:53 Fun fact: Otomo's smoking is a reference to 8 Man.
The original is so fucking good. Saw it when I was 8 (?) in the theater and few dozen times since.
Robocop 2 doesn't forget the arc that happened to the character in the first movie, it flat-out ignores it. The craziest thing about Robocop 2 is that it dumbs down the dramatic substance that's in Robocop, but retains the ultra violence...and yes, has a 12 year old drug lord in it. What demographic was the movie targeting? That's anyone's guess
I like Robocop 3. Ok it's not as good as Robocop 1 & 2 but I still enjoy it.
+DashieSparkle
It is the weakest of the trilogy, but it's still a decent movie.
true man not bad at all
fdyjt It was shit, just like the guy said!
lol Not as good as Robocop 1 & 2? And 2? Seriously?
he is the shit no worry
the girl hacking the ED-209 is as believable as Jeff Goldblum using a Macbook to hack the aliens in Independance Day
I love your review, however I'm intrigued that you found the part where a totally incompetent guy became the Mayor of Detroit somehow unrealistic.
On the topic of how DISTASTEFUL it was to have a 12 year old boy be such a major villain, I read an article about TERMINATOR 2 JUDGEMENT DAY filmed just one year after Robocop 2 and the writers of that movie made sure never to allow the 12 year old John Connor (same age as the kid in Robocop 2) to handle a gun. He might have handled one briefly when he was with Arnold in the underground bunker to inspect the weapons to make sure they work but never did he FIRE one or use one in a threatening manner, not even to slow down the T1000 (bullets did slow it down some). The writers were determined to keep him "innocent" (yes he did break some laws like stealing money from a bank's computer but never anything violent) since he was just a boy so ONLY the mother and Arnold fired guns.
I thought the kid was bad ass. I think it's plausible, the kid was a genius and a cold blooded bastard. It's not unheard of to have young protégées excelling very well in their craft. Like Mozart, wrote his first sonnet at the age of four. And so on so on. It's possible there could a kid that could do that. Also I don't think the kid actor gets enough credit playing this young villain. I thought he was great, the kid has talent! I thought this kid had some potential to be a really good actor. And considering how most child actors can be obviously terrible, I thought this kid in robo cop2, successfully conveyed a cold, creepy, erie, manipulating monster. I kinda compare him to almost Griffin from berserker, if he wasn't killed off too soon. But hey that's just me. I respectfully disagree with your opinion.
ItJust Zul Griffin was a bastard...
flipingboredcritic its a kid... if i was part of the cartel, it would b really easy to dispose of him... how the hell do u compare a druglord to a music artist??? lol
yea i really dont blame kid actors even if they r bad cause ovisly if the film is bad its problynot their fault also they do need kids or even babies for scenes i think this kid did good andcould had went on to become adecent actor i know he was working for cain it was different instead of making the kid the good guy
Right... that's the same kid actor from an episode of Star Trek TNG that became an honorary Klingon.
Funniest part of your review was at 8:33. Describing the action scenes in that boring way really had me laughing. Subscribed. Cheers!
I loved Robocop 3. Sure, it has some weak spots and continuity issues, but the plot serves as a pretty good window into the struggle between establishment and resistance. Robocop 3 is pretty much the culmination of what has happened from the first film that leads citizens to ultimately become mobilized and fight back.
I liked 3 as well, I liked all of the movies
+Guy Heller I liked 3 the best too. I never cared for the 2nd one.
Agreed. ;)
liked Robocop 3 because its the Robocop atleast. not the remake trash. also the main theme composed by Basil poledouris were back.
hillncer1
I completely agree. The soundtrack is amazing!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who realized that Robocop’s body was very blue in robocop 2 lol
Something that I really hate about sequels is how, in many cases, they tend to retcon things that were established in the first movie. This is most prevalent with bad sequels, but even the good ones tend to do this sometimes. (Spoilers for Terminator, Highlander and Transformers ahead). For example, the first Terminator told us that you can't really change the past, but then T2's like "No, you can change the past if you want to." Or Transformers, it ends with Bumblebee getting his voice back, but then at the beginning of the next movie it's broken again for no explainable reason (not to mention the fact that Megatron was killed at the end and then the Decepticons easily revive him later). Or Highlander, which ends with Conner winning the Prize, which means that he is the last of the immortals, but then suddenly there are more in the next movie. Then we have RoboCop 2. I could probably go on and on, but you get my point.
I wish we had a version of the original RoboCop in all its glory with all that badass fight with Cain somehow fit in there.
And it took from 1993 to 2014
21 year later we get Robocop 4 aka a reboot that how bad Robocop 3 was
6:02 to Rich Evans this: they should've dropped their guns and felt some temporary relief before the robot goes "assessing remaining threat: neutralize" or simply repeats itself like it was malfunctioning, instantly re-heightening the tension before the kid finishes hacking into it
both a more sensible scene and does a better job manipulating the tension
The remake was pointless
You know there is an alternate theory that Murphy never came back to life instead the computer program was designed to do exactly what it did use Murphy's brain and experience and memories as a police officer to become a cop however that also included the life he had showing that nature may actually affect nurture. So it's an interesting theory that may be it really was a robot just experiencing emotion of other people's lives. If you are like me who's had brain injuries and you don't remember your past life you kind of can relate
terrible movie hate it just awefull first one the best and always will be
The big problem I have with all of the iterations of "Robocop" is that even though they allegedy are set in Detroit, there are no ads and/or product placement of Better Made potato chips and Faygo pop - snack-food staples that have existed in Detroit since 1930 and 1907, respectively!
RoboCop 2 isn't terrible, it's not great, but it can be a beer and junk food movie. RoboCop 3is unwatchable.
The original is a classic. I'm still yet to see the remake, I doubt I'll ever bother with it.
it's pretty fukin great dude
it is one of the best sequel films ever made
If you were aware of Detroit politics in the early 2000s, with a Mr kilpatrick lol, you would definitely think this mayor is legit
The remake sucked
Um...no it doesn't
twas better than robocop 3 thats forsure
Yeah that's true. But RoboCop 3 was bad because...well...I don't have to explain it, Mark does it pretty well in the review xD. But the remake was just SO BORING!! Honestly, it's only SLIGHTLY better than RoboCop 3, but not by much lol.
remake didnt suck
however , if compared with the original
well , yeah
just awful
"Murphy! You know there's a warrant out for you, right?"
"... Yes."
"Just checking."
review lady in the water
The funny thing is I read a series called Artemis Fowl, and he is a young kid who is basically a crime lord, so it can be done right, in response to his thoughts on the kid crime lord in the movie.
honestly, I actually liked the remake. I had low expectations was definitely liked it. surprising.
It still has Stephen Root, one of the best of modern character actors, as well as the late, great Daniel von Bargen - and they also both appeared in "O Brother, Where Art Thou?", though they shared no scenes in that one.
1 and 2 i like 3 was crap
I agree with you :)
3:23 dude! That was so fitting! Lol awesome!!!
Am I the only person who thinks the reboot wasn't all that bad?
I lacked all the intelligence of the first and missed the mark on everything. The first was the best, with the news clips, and often the bad guys and the corporate guys would say the exact same sentences. Like the OCP's Dick Jones: "I say good business is where you find it", later Clarence Boddicker says: "Good business is where you find it" when dealing with the coke dealer. It's full of these pearls.
Andy Chow I wasn't even implying it was better than the original. I was just saying when compared to the *direct* sequels, it's not so horrible.
It was really good. But people wont be talking about the reboot in 25 years, however, people will still be talking about the original 25 years from now. Thats the difference between the remake and the original.
But have you seen Detroit? A 30 year old mayor might actually be an improvement. Love the videos.
This sequel was awful 😡
I think that if instead of a kid, you made Hobbes someone that was in his late twenties to early thirties, that would fix many of the problems with RoboCop 2.
Here's how I'd rank the films (best to worst):
1) Robocop (1987)
2) Robocop (2014)
3) Robocop 2
4) Robocop 3
Remake sucked
Better than 2 and 3
No, the television series was better than 2 and 3, and three was a step up from 2. (At least three has Nico, and the medical examiner from NCIS New Orleans.)
Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was 32 when elected to office in 2002.
