RoboCop 2 (1990) was a fantastic sequel - Am I alone?


I loved the villains, I loved the violence, I loved the way they wisely "deconstructed" and "rebuilt" the RoboCop character throughout the movie - and I loved the direction and the cinematography! Amazing.

To me, "RoboCop 2" was a big classic and I'm glad it was a commercial hit too.

Not superior to the first movie, even. That is a masterpiece.

Am I alone?

Good sequel imo. Robocop 3 was trash, pg13 trash that is. Like the remake.

I like that he had to fight a "physical nemesis" a bigger more powerful cyborg unlike ED 209 that he just ran from. I wont say its better overall than the original but it was great. Too bad the 3rd movie and the tv series sucked.

RoboCop 2 is underrated.

reply

the first 10 minutes of robocop 2 are good, and i like some of the acting thoughout the film. but i think overall there is something missing from it

it was better than this piece of sht. i love robocain and the nuke plotline, thought it ended abruptly tho.

I enjoyed it as a kid but as I got older I found it silly. I would rate it a 6/10.

It's certainly more lighthearted and not as deep or sinister as the first film but it's a cracking piece of popcorn entertainment and it's serious enough when it needs to be plus RoboCain was a great bad guy.

I'd definitely say it's better than the remake as I find the 2014 film quite boring and drawn out. It has some decent bits peppered here and there but Robocop 2 is total entertainment from start to finish and that's why I consider it the superior film.

I can't say I agree. There was lots to hate in Robocop 2. I thought that the CGI face was completely unnecessary and looked like total garbage, the child character was good up until that phoned-in sympathetic moment, and the Nuke drug was really not a great plot in my opinion.

To its credit, I did like the main theme and the politically correct Robocop scenes.

Indeed and it urinated over the awful reboot from a very great height!
