    a man's movie!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 16, 2006 | 1 out of 1 found this Robocop (1987) review helpful

    Pros: cops

    Cons: creeps

    I first saw robo when I was 8, I thought it was the sickest movie ever! And it still is. My girl almost threw up watching it, and she's in her 20's. But robocop has the total package.

    Kicks Ass!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 5, 2003

    I have been a huge Robocop fan for a long time and this movie rocks. So does the second, until Peter Weller decided to not do the third installment. That is when it went all to hell.

    Get the Criterion DVD....

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 14, 2003

    if you can still find it.i got mine at http://www.dvdempire.com they still had a few copies there. anyway, if you get the criterion DVD, you'll see the uncensored Director's Cut version of the film. It has some awesome bloody shots that was cut from ...the theatrical release to get an R-rating. Anyway stay away from the crappy MGM dvd. Read more Less

    Very Good but could be better!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 2, 2002

    This is basically a story of a cop who gets mutilated and killed by a gang of thugs and is reborn as a robot police officer with vague memories of his former self. Once he figures out who he is he discovers an entire conspiracy leading from the low-...life thugs that murdered him all the way to the senior vice president of the company that created him. The story and characters are excellent and very intertaining. But the only reason I took off one star from my 5 star rating is because of techonical issues. I was not satisfoied with some bloopers that appear on film. The most obvious ones are the magazine capacities of weapons used and the shooting scenes. When ED-209 snaks on Kenny we can see the large caliber rounds slicing through him like a hot knife through butter, but for some reason the glass panes behind him do not shatter. Also when the thugs are creaming Murphy there is a giant window behind him and the shotgun blasts do not break it. And when Clearance shoots off Murphy's hand why don't we see sparks and dust from the shotgun pellets striking the concrete? Why didn't Verhoven see and correct that? And how the fuck does Robocop, in all three movies, survive car frires, itense gun battles, and torture and not get his face damaged. Why do so many crooks fail to shoot him in the face????

    Simply one of the Best Sci-Fi EVER!!!!!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 11, 2002

    Anyone that thinks a child should be allowed to watch this, should check the R rating again. It is there for good reason, but there is simply NOTHING that detracts from this film! An excellent storyline, good actors in excellently written parts, all ...helmed by one of the best Sci-Fi director's in filmdom. This movie is as dark and foreboding as the comic book series was. An absolute MUST HAVE for any true Sci-Fi fan! Read more Less

    Too violent? Not really, but still exce

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 7, 2002

    Part man. Part machine. All cop.

    RoboCop is up there with Terminator and Aliens as one of the greatest sci-fi action flicks of all-time. Is it too violent? Not really, compared to newer movies of the same kind.

    Good But Too Violent

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 3, 2002

    At first, the idea of a half robot, half human cop ridding the crime filled streets of Detroit seemed like a children's / teenagers movie but after watching it, I found it to be the exact opposite. Robocop is the story of cop Alex Murphy being tranf...ormed into the perfect machine after being executed by a gang of thugs. Programmed to be nothing more than an alleviation to crime, Murphy soon has flash backs of what happened to him and then comes to realise and accept what he is. None the less, he is determined to seek justice on those who stole his life away from him. This movie is filled with enjoyable action sequences, but the violence is very strong and graphic. Beware of the scene where Murphy is killed at the beginning because you will literally see violence at its highest and it will leave you with a bad feeling in your stomach. Read more Less

    CRITERION DVD...

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 12, 2001

    Finally, Robocop can be viewed as intended. Criterion gives the x-rated Director's cut in it's full glory! Very crisp picture and extremely useful commentary giving helpful insight into some of the film's symbolism and figurativeness. Without a do...ubt one of the best films to own on DVD for any Sci-Fi fan. Interestingly enough...Robocop was well ahead of its time for 1987, but the sequels ruined anyone taking it serious these days. -Nate Read more Less

    By the way, Robocop 2 and 3 suck ass, don't let these sequels bother you. The original Robocop is a masterpiece of filmmaking!
