The Age of Commercialism

It is a performances centric movie

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Bad acting: check Dull way too long dramatic scenes: check Awfuldialogue: check Dull way too long action scenes: check Awful sound effects: check Awful music: check Actor playing Robocop too short: check Actor playing Robocop, not moving like Robocop: check Robocop has a mechanical voice every time he has his helmet on: check Robocop acting more like a machine and less like a human: check Low budget: check Complete and utter crap and insult to the real Robocop (1987): checkIMDb goes on about their 10 lines even though I have nothing else to say.

Blame Canada! Essentially, this is 8 hours of recycling. There's really nothing new here we didn't see in the previous three movies. OCP is evil, Robo is somehow decent, or maybe he's just a robot.Did we really need more of this? Oh, yeah, and then we have all the fun "pun" names. Like Ann R. Key and Lexx Icon. Why not include characters named "Jim Shoo" while you are at it? It seems the bit of dialog and plot are only interludes to hang the shootout scenes on. Lots and lots of shootout scenes, I lost track after a certain point of who was being shot for what, exactly.The plot is that an aging RoboCop is considered a has-been in OCP's new Delta city, lots of corporate maneuvering by evil executives that could never actually exist outside a parody. There were a few actors who didn't phone it in...

After suffering through the miscarriage that was Robocop 2 and the complete comic book homage that was Robocop 3, it was good to see that the writers of the original finally put Robocop down once and for all.While the story seems a bit on the goofy side, it's important to remember that the whole premise of Robocop is comic bookish to an extent. But it works: Bone Machine, the mysterious invisible people, RoboCable all form a coherent and somehow satisfying end to the Robocop saga. Murphy regains his humanity once again (a plot thread that was always ignored in each Robocop movie) and establishes ties to his son and walks into the sunset. The only fault I can find is that the miniseries is one part too long. If it was cut the miniseries would flow better. But this is a minor flaw.Clearly the best offshoot for Robocop since the original by far.

I saw this series the first time it was aired on TV. I watched and recorded the entire thing. The first thing I found upsetting was that Mini Me was cast as Robo, the second being the costume was all cheap looking. But as a huge fan of all of the Robo's, I had to find a way to like it.. I was like 6 years old when I saw the first, and I thought it was one of the best movies I had ever seen, Not the kind of movie that can make another that is as good or even better, but part two stands next to it flawless in every way!! (you can't argue this, don't try!!) Then when Peter didn't do the 3rd and it was rated PG-13 I didn't know what was going to happen. But as I watched it the first time I started off not knowing what to think, then I heard him speak, they computered over his voice a little too much but I could tell he was even more of a fan of robo than I. His every move was as if Peter was really the one inside of the costume! They could make another, and Robert John Burke could do it, and it would kick ass by me!! All in all it will never be as good as the first 2 but it is a close second to them. And now I find myself with the thought that I will never see another big budget full production live action feature film with the name Robocop ever again, so these 4 DVD's have to do.. I can't turn on my super heros, so I have to stay true to what ever holds the name.. So after that is said, the Prime Directives series is just a continuation of a killer story... I wish it would never end.......
