Well, I know the movie is very violent and has macabre scenes but I don't understand why the movie is so underrated and many people say is one of the worst movies ever made. I know it is not as good as the first movie but I think this is a good movie with good actors and a good sqcuence.

I think this movie didn't know what it wanted to be: a kid's movie or a hyper violent adult action movie. On the one hand you have the bad guy being played by a 13 year old and the scene with the baseball playing kids robbing that store. So they tried to attract the teen audience a bit but then on the other hand you have the horrendous torture scene where they eviscerate a corrupt police man and many other over the top scenes.
One person mentioned a few good points about this movie that make it total immoral, i mean did they really need to have a bad guy holding a machine gun to the head of a baby? Come on. How did they even shoot that part of the movie? If I were an actor I wouldn't have been too happy about filming that and if I were that kid's parent I would have been demanding big, big money even though I knew that the gun was a replica.
So all in all it's a highly unpleasant movie, although I like it.

I watched both Robocop 1 and 2 religiously when I was younger. Robocop 2 is my favorite of the two, mainly because of the awesome special effects (even by today's standards), better production values, and better cinematography. It just felt like a much more polished production overall.
I don't get how people can say Robocop 2 was pure, mindless action. It had a lot of dark humor and dark elements to it, which kinda freaked me out watching it as a kid. The hilariously twisted failed prototypes, for example.
Here go the motives:
1. Drug dealers led by a child
2. Robocop acting loony toony
3. 2nd graders shoplifting and surrendering an adult
4. Robocain watching his brain detached from his cyber-body (wtf? was it wi-fi connected?) then freaking out when Robocop smashes it
5. Awful new theme music
About #5... in one of the 'extended' scenes during the fight with Robocain, right before Murphy is about to jump on his back, there's a deleted scene where you hear a cop talk to Lewis saying what he's about to do is suicide. During this moment the original theme of Robocop is playing, and it seems to go on through the jump. Sadly though they revamped this scene, and not only did they cut out the minor conversation, they also changed the score for this to the 'new one'.
It's a shame in the end that they deleted so much stuff, because some of those things should've been kept in.
I have always like this film. It is a good sequel. Does it better the original? Nope. Does it match it? No. But why expect that? It doesn't drop the ball or piss over the original. It's more focused on action which is expected from a sequel. It continued the dark humour from the original in many ways satires 80's culture even has a go at the 'Role model' Robocop was for children.
I put this in the same camp as Die Harder, Predator 2, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Rambo III, Alien 3.... films that where good and didn't deserve the over reaction to not matching their predecessors.
I think the movie is good on its own but when compared to Robocop 1, yeah...then again I wasn't expecting Robocop 2 to surpass the original. I just think that some elements of the storyline could have been explored further. With that said I still feel its an enjoyable film.
Esta es mi firma
because it's very weak,poorly directed,horrible pacing,awful music,goofy scenes,especially coming from Irvin Kirshner,easily his worst film.and Frank Miller too what was he thinking? this would barely be acceptable from a first time director.
shareThis film is my favorite in the series but I really hated that annoying kid. RoboCop 2 would be way better without him
