Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

XweAponX A lot of the elements from the films are here, including MediaBreak. Captain Cash was added, and although some of the lead characters are not the same, and new crooks (Dr. Cray Z. Mollardo - Cliff De Young and "Pudface Morgan" - James Kidnie), it's 100% Robocop.Richard Eden literally duplicated the role Peter Weller originated. In every episode, the OCP Tech guy adds one new gadget, an excuse to see Robo use it in the episode, like crowd control foam, and bolts that anchor him into the ground in case a truck comes barreling down. This show was high camp, but it worked. I was sad when it ended after one season, this show was Syndicated, it could have gone on longer. One of the more interesting things added, was "Neurobrain", a computer which runs all of Delta City, which started off as a woman, "Diana Powers" (Andrea Roth). She's Robo's ally, they have something in common, both were separated from their bodies. Yvette Nipar is Detective Lisa Madigan, who in this version of Robocop was Murphy's partner, rather than Anne Lewis (Nancy Allen). And of course they had to add a kid, "Gadget" (Sarah Campbell) who is adopted by Sgt. Parks (The great Blu Mankuma). Apparently "Gadget" was based on "Nikko" was Robo 3.Perhaps it was just too expensive to make this show, each episode has all kinds of animation (Commander Cash), fake news spots and commercials, and some really great special effects, much of it practical.The only thing that really differentiates this show from the Film Universe, is the lack of blatant bloodshed and maiming common to the film franchise (at least through Robo 2). But the show makes up for that loss with very insane concepts for crimes, which Robo has to solve.And of course, Robo's familiar one liners: "Come Quietly or there will be... Trouble". It's worth watching this after watching RoboCop and RoboCop 2.And somewhere, halfway through the season, the End Credits were rolled to the tune of some song sung by Joe Walsh and Lita Ford. I remember the last episode, had a video of the two artists performing the song. I haven't gotten to that one, yet.

miraitrunks99 Now, I know that many people have been knocking the '94 RoboCop series.As much as I'd like to put a stop to that, I sadly cannot. I saw the series back when I was about 10 or so, so I can't remember much, and I only saw occasional glimpses, and maybe an episode or two in '98, or around that area.I grew up with RoboCop, needless to say. The Series had a big influence on me, and since I was 10 (around there), I was astounded. Violence didn't matter much to me, but I always looked up to RoboCop as my hero. RoboCop had became a household name in my family, and I can recall watching the original movie endless amounts of time when I was 5 or so.But this isn't about the original RoboCop.It's about the supposedly live-action series made in '94. (I honestly couldn't tell the difference, I was too young.)Though I noticed that the violence had been toned down a bit, it didn't matter to me. It was RoboCop, simply put, my childhood hero (whom is still my hero), and that was all there was to it. RoboCop: The Series was a finely done project, and I'm sure many think that way. Many seem to think violence is what made RoboCop so good, and I agree in many situations.RoboCop: The Series is a classic. In fact, aside from Prime Directives, which, might I add, came out this year, or around there (I can't recollect the date.), The Series is one of the best RoboCop sequels/continuations of the 'franchise'.It goes deeper into Murphy's past, explaining much more, but it only had 23 episodes. People just got sick of it, I guess, but, I loved every second of it.Remember, friends, before you bash RoboCop: The Series, remember the positive things about it and the little things that made it at least a smidgen good. It was made in 1994, not now.... If they could have only gotten Peter Weller back...

The Terminator This has to be the biggest insult to a film ever. Robocop - The Series has basically taken a creative and well-known character and exploited it, using it only because the creators are so dumb they cannot think of anything themselves. The show is made for kids and the acting is diabolical, even by Robo himself. There is no plot to any of the episodes and no genuine villains, simply guys who act like kids who happen to have bombs tied to themselves. The film sequels were bad, but hell, they seem like a million dollars compaired to this pile of absolute garbage. Don't even contemplate watching this, staring at a dogs butt is more exciting than this.

motor89 Take the excellent 1987 film and strip out all of the really good bits.Ultra-violence - Robocop the film was insanely violent and sweary ... always a good thing in a film (laugh).Biting satire - The film was savage in its attack on corporate America. The series tones it down to the point of being meaningless. The sleazy managing director of the film becomes and kindly misunderstood old man in the series. Please!To make things worse, the series introduces a "moppet" - an irritating child character to woo stupid people. There is even a shot during the title sequence with Robocop holding a child's hand. Argh!In it's favour, the series does expand on the motivations and feelings behind the Robocop character ... but who cares?
