Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
edwardcooper-92204 Paul Verhoevan's filmography is hit and miss but you cannot deny the man's penchant for violence and satire which when juxtaposed with a great script and acting, can result in something special. Robocop is one such film- released in 1987 Robocop has seared itself into popular culture- Kenny being killed in South park being a direct reference- and continues to be incredibly popular, if a bit dated in effects. (Peter Weller is awesome as Robocop and you must see this one if you haven't already).
yougottrumpedshow Let's be clear. RoboCop ain't Citizen Kane but that's not what it is supposed to be, it's just a crazy fun, over the top sci-fi action flick. Peter Weller is great as RoboCop, the rest of the cast is also great (his female partner, the scumbag at Omni-Corp as well as his boss the even bigger scumbag, the gangster played by the dad from That 70's Show, even the stop motion robot RoboCop has to fight against.One thing I wasn't expecting was how funny the movie would be. There's a lot of great little satirical skits and jokes. Much of the comedy is very dark but still funny.Be advised this movie was originally X-rated for a reason. A lot of the action is way out there with significant blood and gore factor with body parts blown off, screaming and even a melting or two. Do not let kids watch this movie.
abalpn-99472 I've watched this about a million times and I liked it. I loved the action scenes including the shoot out in the factory. I like the special effects with ED-209 and Robocop. The commercials in this film made it a bit humorous. I used to have a Robocop action figure but it doesn't work anymore and it's lost. That's the reason why I like Robocop.
stormhawk2018 The American baptism of Verhoeven is solved with an atypical and violent Sci-Fi film, in which subtle secrets are hidden that can be applied to both political and private organisms. The desire to put into the hands of the machines the security and comfort of citizen security was not a new idea, but the Dutch director knew to give a much more forceful turn in its development, in which the irony is part of a more visceral argument That intellectual. Thus Robocop begins in a future in which violence has reached such a degree that cities choose to delegate private security to citizens, which does not solve the problems of corruption but rather moves them to another area. The idea of ​​the perfect policeman comes from the fusion of what is left of a supposedly murdered policeman with mechanical devices that are supposed to make him invulnerable to criminal attacks. And crime is one of the expositions that best summarizes the film, since crime is directly linked to the corruption of those who are supposed to eradicate it. But it is not all Robocop-Frankenstein, although the director pursues a goal that goes a step beyond the merely commercial, does not turn the film into a trivial moralistic message, but it is a film in which his possible messages do not Interfere with the reality of a science fiction film with great doses of action. Thus, an atypical film was characterized by the insertion of advertising criticizing consumerism and the cold reaction of people to important problems such as pollution, health or ecology, deceitful corporative traps that far from seeking the solution to the social problems benefits from them.We see how the promoter of the first robot uses repressive and uncommunicative methods in the program installed in the machine, which in a first trial ends with the death of an executive whom they treat as if a setback was treated without showing the slightest feeling For the life of the unfortunate director, who the rest of the people urgently request an ambulance, something totally ridiculous after having received a whole countless arsenal of bullets. The creator of Robocop also does not escape the critic Verhoeven style, is a kind of Dr. Frankenstein who does not hesitate to treat a fallen policeman as a product owned by a company willing to experiment with the limits of the human mind, selfish and selfish, Its sole aim is equally the lust for power. "Robocop" is a generous film that hides pleasing surprises, which neither adorns violence nor treats it delicately, but shows the wild and selfish side of the times.
