I prefer The Terminator, but they are both great films.

The people bad mouthing T2 are dooshbags. Its a universally loved movie.

Ah that's a tough one, I go for The Terminator too just about, but Robocop is every bit as awesome. I just love that cold dark bleak feel to The Terminator, still think it's Cameron's best film still.

Robocop.

Robocop is social critique/satire disguised as SF. But Terminator is... existentialism!

Terminator.

I have to say it is a tough call. The terminator series has certainly been a lot stronger. I like robocop a lot more as a character. As an individual stand alone movie, it is too close a call. I think I have to watch them both again to decide. Scratch that - that whole “you’re fired” scene at the end of robocop pushes them over the line to win.
