        There was a RoboCop 2!? Must’ve been so bad that I blanked it out of my memory.

        edit: Nevermind lol. I’ll check it out, thanks.

          No, RoboCop 2 is alright. RoboCop is probably my favorite movie. RoboCop 2 is good, not as deep, not as gratuitous, nor perfectly campy as the first but good enough for a watch. 3 is not, don’t waste your time… Even Peter Weller didn’t come back.
          The remake totally missed the mark; had some interesting ideas and callbacks to the originated but didn’t know how to capture the tone and thought of the original and took itself too seriously.

            I personally like 2 better, but you’re spot on. I would say the game on PS5 is the true RoboCop 3 lol.

              You guys talking about RoboCop: Rogue City (the one that’s already on PC)?

              If so, don’t get too excited. The game is mostly a mindless shoot-em-up. I was bored in under an hour.

                Same here. Even with the upgrade tree it looked boring. Some here will argue it’s a great game because of the AA status and small dev team. I get that, but after playing so many other great titles, that game just doesn’t measure up.

            I also love that the original is a perfect chiachism: a palindrome of a film, every scene at the start as a mirror at the end.

          Robocop 2 is the superior movie IMO. The story, action, basically everything is improved. Definitely check it out if you’re a fan of the first one.

            I don’t quite agree, RoboCop 2 lacked some of the depth of the original in my opinion and come on: can you really beat Ronny Cox and Kurtwood Smith as the villainous duo? 😉

            Having said that, RoboCop 2 is definitely still worth watching!

              I will agree the villains in Robocop were better. It’s been such a long time since I watched but I remember just enjoying the nuke addiction the whole city had lol. Plus the main villain was a nuked out junkie in a massive mech suit. My heart was full lmao. Both are definitely worth watching though! Great movies!
