Leave your thoughts about RoboCop 2.
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay ScottA sly, self-mocking sense of humor is apparent even in Robocop 2's title, which identifies both the film's sequel status and its hero. And what a fantastic nightmare creation Robocop 2 is. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.A weak and utterly uneven follow-up, but at least presents some unique ideas about RoboCop and his world. |
| Miami HeraldBill CosfordThis ultraviolent, nihilistic sequel has enough technical dazzle to impress hardware fans, but obviously no one in the Orion front office told filmmakers that less is more. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonEverything in the first movie is pretty much redone again. But in this case, the repetition isn't a bad thing. It's par for the coarse. The original had such effortless, classic-trashy appeal, there's little reason to buck the self-made system. It works. It can continue. It does continue. |
| Tampa Bay TimesHal LipperI didn't much like RoboCop 2 (the use of that killer child is beneath contempt), but I've gotta hand it to them: It's strange how funny it is, for a movie so bad. Or how bad, for a movie so funny. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfI'll maintain that RoboCop 2 is a worthy sequel, though with every fresh viewing I see more of its faults and scatterbrained structure. |
| Juicy CerebellumAlex SandellFairly crummy sequel with a few redeeming action sequences. |
| Los Angeles TimesPeter RainerNastiness in a movie can sometimes be liberating and fun, but the nastiness in RoboCop 2 is no more authentic than its heart. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrIf you like to stagger away from a film feeling numb and slightly sick, this one's for you. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. Puccio...the film forsakes most of its progenitor's lighthearted yet moving emotional appeal and replaces it with gunfire, car chases, and explosions. |
