RoboCop 3

I enjoyed this movie even though there are numerous plot holes. I though Remy Ryan did an excellent job as the child hacker. This movie is precursor for dystopic cyberpunk feel (large corporations control everything, small bands of people fighting against them, most of all a young child prodigy whose computer hacking skills are almost frightening.)

Firstly if you don't like Robocop at all, then obviously leave this alone, if you've never seen Robocop, watch the first film, then come back and read the rest of this.

Robocop started out as a hard ass cyborg, you simply wouldn't mess with (He even helped spawn a video game, in which he fought the Terminator, you've got to be Tough to be mentioned in the same breath as a Terminator - you get the point, he was hard) and, he was portrayed by Peter Weller, who did a good job.

In number 2, Peter Weller was still there and Robocop was still fun and still tough, even if it wasn't a great movie.

However, now on to the third film, take my advice and miss it, even for Robocop fans, there little here to enjoy, and this is why.

Robert Burke, has replaced Peter Weller as Robocop, and i not knocking him as an actor (I Don't know much of his work), but he isn't Robocop, Period. Also Robocop is now as weak as a kitten, and Oh yes, and he can fly now too, Yawn!

This movie simply insults the Robocop name, in every way, i can't think of a single reason to watch this film, it's another case of no sequels necessary (although Robocop 2 - wasn't all bad)

3/10

Now, before I watched this movie, I had heard nothing but bad things about this movie. That it was a horrible end to the trilogy and by far the worst of the four movies, but honestly, it's not bad at all. It carries on the tone of the 1st movie much more than the 2nd, the action is much better than the second, and there are much less bad scenes than in the second, or even the remake. I personally think Robocop 3 is an under-rated classic.

The Robocop idea went far enough with number 2. The third installment is just awful. Peter Weller had sense enough to stay away from this set. I enjoyed the first, thought the second was OK but hated this one. This story was contrived and the acting abysmal. When I began to watch this I had a feeling it was going to stink and sure enough, it did! Don't bother with this one.

It's not a great movie, but it entertains.. much as the old Batman series... with tongue firmly in cheek!

I paid to see this in the theater, and I did not feel the least bit cheated.. I have now watched it a few times and am entertained.. WHY the low rating????? I would watch a Robocop IV if one were made.

Give it a watching with an open mind... better yet watch Robocop 1 & 2 first to get the background.

2 1/2 stars out of 4
