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 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!

The new game is supposed to be good. It’s been patiently waiting on my PS5.

You guys talking about RoboCop: Rogue City 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.

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

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.
