Summary: it was okay
Review: i dont understand how the guy who wrote the Dark Knight Returns could suck so much at writing storys about freaking RoboCop i mean the possibilities are incredible but 2 and 3's plots were so mediocre. Burke was an excellent replacement he looked great acted great and sounded pretty damn close so i give him credit but i just wish the stories were better. the one thing i was glad about was the return of the classic robocop theme i was pissed that kershner didnt use it i mean that theme IS robocop but yeah 3 isnt bad at all but could have been so much more.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Saturday Afternoon Matinee
Review: I enjoyed this video. Except for the language, it seems to have been written for the fun of it and still can make you watch the action which is rough and ready. For one who grew up with Roy Rogers, I enjoyed the whole thing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best robocop movie of all
Review: I know what your thinking.The suddon drop from R to PG13 made it look like a movie for kids,but even though it does not have as much blood and gore as the first two,still is far more supireor because of the FX,the good sound effects and the movie was alot more action packed and dramatic than both of them.He has the new sweet gun that attaches to his arm equiped with a flame thrower,machine gun and a powerful gernade launcher that has the capability of destroying a very heavily armored tank which it does.Robocop 3 is a must see.The graphics were preety good and the jet pack added more action to the ending.This is far better than the first two.If you want my advice I say buy all 3 because they are all awesome but this one I think is the best.

Summary: A B Movie at Best
Review: I thought RoboCop 3 was just OK. I loved the first one. It was great. RoboCop is my all time favorite Movie ever made. I think the Robo trilogy is the best. I watch them often. But the problem with 3 is they got rid of Nancy Allen and he flew. RoboCop wasn't meant to fly. I liked the new arsenal he had in this film, but nothing compares to his old fashioned killer gun. They tried to copy the first one with the music and some of the dialogue. Also the humor was good some parts were funny. I think that kid was too smart. Be that i am a die hard RoboCop fan, I think this is worth owning and watching on DVD. The sound is incredible. I wouldn't recommend the average movie buyer to get this, but I would reccomend this to all Robofans. I thought the series was great!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Aren't we being just a little harsh?
Review: O.K., I'll admit this-I would have preferred this film to have been violent like the previous movies, rather than makeing it a PG-13 flick so that it would appeal to the kiddies. But it still has great action scenes, a cool story line, and decent preformances. The story goes like this: OCP has decided neighborhoods are too much trouble to deal with, and so are having the old houses torn down so they can build thier new Delta City. A resistance group has formed of people who have been thrown out of thier homes and who want to put a stop to it all. When Robocop sees a family of people huddled in a church that's about to be torn down, he turns traitor and joins the resistance movement against OCP. Though some have complained about it, one thing I liked was the 10 year old computer wiz. I don't know if it's a biased judgement, but I liked it that it was a girl. (Usually, in movies, it's the boys who have the brains and are great with computers and save the day.)

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: THIS IS KINDA INSULTING TO THE FIRST TWO MOVIES
Review: OCP PLANS ON DESTROYING DETROIT TO BUILD DELTA CITY. BUT, WHEN A GANG OF ANGERED RESIDENTS DECIDE TO FIGHT OCP BACK, PROBLEMS IMMEDIATELY BEGIN. TO ADD TO THE PROBLEMS, ROBOCOP [PLAYED HERE BY ROBERT JOHN BURKE] JOINS THE PEOPLE IN THEIR QUEST FOR FREEDOM. NOT AS VIOLENT AS THE FIRST TWO MOVIES, AND IT'S ALSO NOT AS GOOD. THE BIGGEST MISTAKE THEY MADE WITH THIS MOVIE WAS TO REPLACE PETER WELLER AS ROBOCOP. ROBERT JOHN BURKE JUST SEEMS LOST AS ROBOCOP. THIS SERIES WAS SERIOUSLY STARTING TO RUN OUT OF STEAM TOWARD THIS POINT. WHY COULDN'T THEY JUST KEEP THIS ONE ON THE SHELF? ANYWAY, ANOTHER BIG MISTAKE THEY MADE WAS TO HAVE ANN, ROBO'S PARTNER FROM THE FIRST TWO MOVIES, GET KILLED. HAS A FEW GOOD ACTION SEQUENCES, BUT IT'S SERIOUSLY LACKING THE ENTERTAINMENT THAT CAME WITH THE FIRST TWO MOVIES. IF YOU STILL HAVEN'T SEEN THIS BUT YOU WANNA SEE IT, RENT THIS, BUT DON'T BUY THIS. FOLLOWED BY FOUR DIRECT-TO-VIDEO MOVIES.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: EXCELLENT!!!!!!!
Review: OCP plans to demolish one of the city's largest neighborhoods to build a city of the future -- after an army of mercenaries finish throwing everyone out of their homes. But Robocop, sworn to protect the public, joins forces with a band of urban freedom fighters battling to save their neighborhood. It's an all-out explosive street fight that could destroy either an entire city or the evil powers behind the brutal corporate raid.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Do robots yawn? Probably , if they watch this.
Review: Oh woe, here we go with xenophobia. Evil, satantic Japanese baddies seek to take over Robocop's home city with the help of some rather melodramatic and frankly tedious robotic ninjas.

The first Robocop was an excellent and moving film. By now the series has lost all its magic and vitality and is no more than people fighting. Somebody seems to have had the idea of making this one for younger viewers, so it's all very tame compared to its predecessors and relies heavily on flashbacks to the first (and superior) film.

Uninspiring, dull and overblown. Don't bother with this film. You'll only encourage them to make a Part 4 and drag the character of Robocop down to even greater depths.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A More Cleaner Version of Robocop.
Review: Robocop (Robert John Burke replacing Peter Weller) quits being a Cop for the OCP, after losing his Long-Time Partner (Nancy Allen) killed by the Company. Now, he joins the Rebellion for the Rights of the Civilans of Detroit and to Fight, the OCP.

Directed by Fred Dekker (Night of the Creeps) made a Light Entertaining Sequel but this is a wrong movie!. What`s missing in this Sequel is the Film Violence and the Sense of Humor in the First-Two Films. This was an Box Office Disappointment in Theaters but maybe fans of the series will like this last sequel of the Series. Grade:B.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A Slight Improvement
Review: Robocop 3 actually has a worthwhile story unfortunately any adult edge has been taken off in favor of a kid friendly PG-13 rating. Robert John Burke fills RoboCop's suit nicely taking Peter Weller's place.

The story featuring the mega-corporation OCP being bought out by a larger Japanese rival was a rather timely art imitating life plot line. RoboCop going renegade after OCP uses force in driving out people so it can finally create it's Delta City of the future is a worthwhile storyline.

Rip Torn is now the chief of OCP, Felton Perry returns as the beleagered OCP executive. Nancy Allen's character is pointlessly dismissed. Some familiar faces are seen here as well Jill Hennessy (Law & Order) as RoboCop's OCP technician, Steven Root (News Radio) Daniel Von Bargon (Malcolm In The Middle) are two resistance fighters. British actor John Castle is the OCP commando leader.

Director Fred Dekker does a solid job, Frank Miller's story is solid but is too soft with the addition of a 10 yr old whiz kid girl. Basil Poledoris' music score helps and the Special Effects are scaled back but pretty good. RoboCop 3 is a kid friendly film and not all that bad, but really really pales in comparison to Paul Verhoven's classic.
