At first glance, i would say this film is way too over the top. And well it is. And it should be praised for it. Despite some corny dialog in some areas, this film is really entertaining. The action is awesome... Full review

The film was great on HD. I've seen this probably 10's of times or more. I loved it when I was a child and it still makes out to be quite entertaining now, especially on HD. Nancy Allen works great as... Full review

I liked it more as an action movie than a sci-fi satire. The violence was suitably brutal and the action was fairly terrific, but the satiric elements were pretty mild and not as biting as I expected. It seemed to work... Full review

Let me just say I liked this movie. The action was great explosions and gunfights galore. But the acting is not as great as what it could have been. There were some cheezy moments but I like cheez so its all... Full review

Considering how very very bad this movie could have turned out, Robocop is a serious action movie that never stops having fun. The possibility for cheese and campyness in this movie are muted by emotional scenes involving the struggle between the... Full review

I watched this movie in a crowded movie cinema in Russia. Since then, years later, image of Robocop stayed clearly in my memory. I was deeply touched, by the desire of robot to come back to normal life, for his nostalgic... Full review

in fact, it's what makes it a perfect summer movie.....blood and bullets fly everywhere in a gleefully excessive way that serves as a fine example of why everyone loves this film.....Robocop is more than capable of dealing with common human criminals....pick one of the film's most memorable sequences to talk about instead:....I love this particular part of Robocop for a lot of reasons:.... ...

a penetrating story of sacrifice and revenge.....Exceedingly violent and yet unimaginably appealing, Robocop pulses with an amazing theme song, shocking bloodshed, heroism, satirical stabs at the media and government corporations.... ... Full Review

Now a cult favorite, "Robocop" misfired at the Oscars when it was first released but did well at the Saturn Awards, winning for best sci-fi film, special effects, writing, make-up, and direction. If you're like me and managed to miss this film I won't spoil it by telling you any more. ... Full Review

RoboCop is nothing short of a masterpiece of the genre. the original RoboCop is rousing entertainment But damn, what Verhoeven made from the film is pure art. The movie was almost as prescient as it is kick-ass. ... Full Review

For the price, you're better off getting the whole lot in the Robocop Trilogy box set (MGM/UA, Rated R, DVD-$39.96 SRP), which features anamorphic bare bones editions of the latter films, but the extended cut special edition of the first film - including an audio commentary, deleted scenes, featurettes, TV spots, a photo gallery, and trailers. ...
