    This was pretty good as sequels go I thought!

    Not nearly as good as the first but still fun. The brain with eye balls is quite choice.

    A real let down, how did they do it? the effects look awful, the baddies are poor and the story is not really effective. There really aren't any highlights here, cant understand what went wrong.

    Peter Weller returns as the low rent Terminator in Robocop 2, the mediocre sequel to the 1987 action film. This time our hero is on the trail of the source of a new drug called Nuke. Meanwhile OCP (the company that built Robocop) plan on manuevering their contract with the city i...( read more)nto total ownership and creation of a mechanic utopia. Eventually both plots cross paths.

    Robocop 2 was directed by Irvin Kershner based on a story and screenplay by Frank Miller. With a combo like that you figure the film would be a great action piece with some actual character development dealt in. You get anything but in this film. Most characters tend to be standard rehashes of the ones in the original film with the one notable exception being the young foul mouthed boy who seems to be the most ruthless of them all. Otherwise you saw it all in the first film. I was intrigued by a sub plot about Robocop stalking his widowed wife, but that runs it course in the first ten minutes. An interesting plot stonewalls into a remake.

    The special effects were very disappointing. Most look like a Robotech figure with an aluminum foil covered G.I. Joe riding on its back. There are interesting computer graphics, but they're used on one of the most ridiculous looking robots ever seen. And he fires for five to ten minutes without reloading his ammo. And another thing- you would think after the big failure of a robot in the first film they would not give him in ammo in its demonstration. Oh yeah, he needs to shoot the place up for the big battle.

    Robocop 2 was entertaining in a mush brain sort of way. You know it's not a good movie, but damn it I love to see stuff blow up. Bang.

    Not exactly a jump up & cheer sequal, but it wasn't half bad...for the time lol...

    a pretty good sequel. how the same look and feel as the first. strange how the movie kind of feels like it's in 2 parts. just seen it on dvd fir the first time and it's weird becuase you can see more than with our old video copy.

    better than the original. the concept to have a drug dealing kid is new that makes the story interesting. Worth watching!
  • September 19, 2009
    Did not seem to differ from the first one.
  • September 15, 2009
    Action without a brain but replaced with bloodshed.

    39/100

    This is the series of cop turned into robot in order to combat crimes.
