@DanielMartinez-w3v I didn't think Robocop 2 was as bad as many people say it is. It's like the Jurassic Park 2, Predator 2 and Die Hard 2 of the Robocop franchise. Sequels that are overhated and underappreciated. I respect your opinion.
I am a Robocop 2 defender. Not as good as the first one but I think it's very enjoyable and not just a repeat of the first one. Also a Predator 2 defender.
You should cover the video game RoboCop Rogue City that place between RoboCop 2 and 3 with Peter Weller retuning as the titular character. It bridges the gap between both movies and showing OCP's downfall and what happened to the Old Man. In some ways, it's much better than the sequels.
Robocop 1&2 were two of my favorite movies when I was a kid and I know people don’t like 2 as much but I love the design of Kane and that was a huge inspiration for my artwork growing up
RoboCop - Cinematic masterpiece. RoboCop 2 - Good, but not as good as the first. Has it's moments. RoboCop 3 - Painfully stupid. Total downgrade from the first two films. Guilty pleasure for me though. RoboCop 2014 - Remake nobody liked. Only reason I watched/liked it was because it had two Batman movie alumni in it.
The OG and the Remake go together to paint a full picture of a dystopian frankenstein, the OG is cynical and the remake is Sincere, always wanted the OG to focus more on Murphy and his family instead of the city or black comedy, as great as that stuff is, the remake at least does HIM right and the redesigned tech/suit and more realistic future are chef's kiss, to the point if I were to do a Robocop cosplay i'd strive for the 2014 silver suit. Also so glad they didn't try to be outrageous or over the top, a serious future we're dangerously close toward with no haha funny😐
The Nuke emphasis fell far too well in line with the "say no to drugs" messaging we were bombarded with in the late 80's/early 90's. It was the easy enemy--the low-hanging fruit. In the OG film, cocaine was obviously an aspect of the the criminal enterprise. It was the 80's. Coke was omnipresent. It was all the rage. But the movie didn't let it steal the show and distract from the more interesting and important themes. It treated cocaine (and drug use in general) as just a societal given...which is exactly what it was, what it is today, and what it always will be. And this is just one reason why the best thing about Robocop 2 is that it makes the first movie look even greater in comparison.
Good video. The first movie is still one of my all-time favorites that I come back to regularly. The sequel has its moments, but is nowhere near as good as the first. Honestly, the best thing to happen to RoboCop since the first movie is last year's game. It was the true RoboCop game I've been wanting for years.
I was a small kid when Robocop came out-I so wanted to see it. Of course my mom knew it was going to be a gory movie and forbade it. But one weekend it was on a free trial weekend of Showtime, and my dad and I watched it. As a kid, I remember the awesome story more than I did the gore. Now rewatching it after seeing more Verhoeven movies (both his Dutch movies and later American movies), I see how it was such a great springboard for him. And something that makes the first movie a gem, the satire, seems to fail with every other movie. By the time I was in high school, there was the syndicated Robocop TV series....while it had to be toned down for a TV production, I remember always trying to catch an episode. From what I can remember, there was a bit formula for each episode, but it had an entertaining arch. I had hopes for the remake....but I couldn't believe it had a lot of the same elements as the first movie, yet was completely devoid of what made the first movie a classic.
RoboCop: Rogue City is the true third film. And I'm so glad and proud over my ongoing Authentic Rogue City Mod Project. The goal with the project is to make the game as authentic and true to the first two movies as possible.
I don't know man,have a mixed feelings to that news,on one side i'm happy that it's gonna get a good reboot (hopefully),on the other i'm so sad that robocop returns was "abandoned",over time,no further development to that project is what makes it forgotten for me.
@batamkita7730 i totally agree with you 👍 💯 I think that if Hollywood was wise(which they aren't) they would go along with ed numeir corporate wars script and adapt it to make robocop returns with Peter Weller and Nancy Allen. But realistically they won't and it will be woke unfortunately 😕 😔 😒 😪 😐
Robocop was one of the greatest sci--fi films ever! 2 and 3 and the remake, nope! R.C.2 suffered from studio interference, and 3 was just bad! The remake I will not see ! EVER!!!!!
RoboCop was a movie perfectly aimed for being a franchise, while simultaneously being completely one-and-done told in a single movie with nowhere really worth going after that. RoboCop 2 had it's moments but really just retreads the original movie at the end of the day, while RoboCop the cartoon, RoboCop 3 and RoboCop The Series all do interesting things but lack the gritty edge.
I am a huge fan of Robocop. I love the trilogy, even though 3 had a different actor, it kept the dark, dystopian atmosphere and brought the trilogy over the finish line. Imo, the first 3 movies are Cannon, and the animated series is underappreciated. The rest can fall by the wayside.
Robocop 2 & 3 early concepts (rough drafts & scripts) was a good,bold,and innovative ideas for me,but like you said in 15:06 - 15:10,those 2 became a forced,half-hearted project that ultimately "killed" the franchise in the silver screen.
It's in the name Robocop 2. It's about Robocop 2 and not about Robocop 1. When you understand that, then the movie actually makes more sense. Robocop 2 being robocain, his origins and what caused him to become Robocop 2
Regarding RoboCop 2014 - I think the director said in an interview once that the studio meddling with that film was off the charts. The dude said that practically all of the new ideas he wanted to bring to the film were turned down and that's why we were left with this bland... thing with a couple of good ideas in it. Who knows if the movie would have been good had the director been given free reign, but at least it would have been more of an actual movie, instead of this bland, corporate slop.
Honestly, Robocop was fine as a 1 off movie. We got a full arc of Murphy reclaiming his humanity by the end. Its so off-putting that the first ends with him retaking his name and smiling for the first time since before his death... then in the sequel he's robotic again and turns away his wife and denying his humanity. The less said about 3, the better.
The best part About Cop Android Bot 1 is the messaging and that its a Film That Pleases. I was 13/12 years old when i first saw it. If you know what i mean
Many films have instantly recognisable famous one liners but this OG has sooo many ! You have 20 seconds to comply Dead or alive you’re coming with me Thank you for your cooperation Your move creep Stay out of trouble Drop it! Bitches leave Even the directives . I loooove that film .
So RoboCop 3 was released in 1987? Before RoboCop 2 in 1990? I didn't know that 😆 anyway great video agreed with everything you said about the franchise💯
Robocop 3 could of been better. Robocop 3 reminds me of something that might happen in real life with a militarized police replace a regular police department. A lot here don't realize that
I saw Robocop 2 years ago and hated it however, I was to told rewatch it recently and you know what, I thought it was good and also very appropriate to today. So I beg to differ regarding number 2 and again, I did hate it in the 90s.
ROBOCOP 2014 biggest problems JOEL KINNAMAN SAMUEL L JACKSON JACKIE EARLE HALEY MICHAEL KEATON the crappy ROBOCOP suit and turning ANNE LEWIS into a black guy & Sgt REED into a woman
The first two films are the best Robocop films.
@shadowleon659 correction- the 1st one is a masterpiece, after that all including the remake suck hard
@DanielMartinez-w3v I didn't think Robocop 2 was as bad as many people say it is. It's like the Jurassic Park 2, Predator 2 and Die Hard 2 of the Robocop franchise. Sequels that are overhated and underappreciated.
I respect your opinion.
🎉🎉🎉
I am a Robocop 2 defender. Not as good as the first one but I think it's very enjoyable and not just a repeat of the first one. Also a Predator 2 defender.
I love both of those movies as well!
@@julius-stark Robocop 2 was Darker. The old man was more revealed in sequel
I am both a Robocop 2 and Predator 2 defender too
Predator 2 was the shit! Perfect sequel
Robocop is a better movie than predator but predator 2 is a million times the movie robocop 2 was loo

Agree. That game is awesome.
RoboCop 3 was released in November 1993.
Hey there love the vid but at around 13:20 the video starts to get choppy not sure if it's just me or everyone else...
It's not just you. Something happened to the video.
He might had to do it but if it wasnt choppy on him I would believe that was the case.
@@Nmitchellediting maybe it's his stop start animated section.
Robocop 1&2 were two of my favorite movies when I was a kid and I know people don’t like 2 as much but I love the design of Kane and that was a huge inspiration for my artwork growing up
Oops. You have Robotic Cop Two listed as 1990 and Robotic Cop Three listed as 1987. But really great franchise review! :D Insightful and truthful!
Highlander is even worse when it comes to having a masterpiece first movie and a shit ton of awful sequels
RoboCop - Cinematic masterpiece.
RoboCop 2 - Good, but not as good as the first. Has it's moments.
RoboCop 3 - Painfully stupid. Total downgrade from the first two films. Guilty pleasure for me though.
RoboCop 2014 - Remake nobody liked. Only reason I watched/liked it was because it had two Batman movie alumni in it.
I’ve always liked Robocop 2.
Phil Tippet's stop motion was off the hook.

Date is wrong for rob cop 3
I like Robocop 2 and think it is criminally underrated
Robocop 2 is a good film flawed yeah but still a good watch.
One of my favorite cyberpunk movies...🔥
The 2014 remake felt like a Batman movie dressed up as a RoboCop film.
@@jorgezarco9269 if batman were an unfunny romantic comedy

Robocop 3 feels like a made for tv movie that would of been broadcasted on a Saturday afternoon on UPN during the mid 90’s.
RoboCop three released in 1993 not 1987 according to the lore on how each movie was released .

What's your opinion on Robocop: Rogue City?
Love that game! Super fun with some fantastic gameplay. You truly feel like you are Robocop and it generally nails the tone of the first film.
Robocop 3 and remake are pg 13 which suffers plus no peter weller
A new robocop tv series is in development its a reboot unfortunately not robocop Returns
I don't know man,have a mixed feelings to that news,on one side i'm happy that it's gonna get a good reboot (hopefully),on the other i'm so sad that robocop returns was "abandoned",over time,no further development to that project is what makes it forgotten for me.

I like robocop 2. Its actually really good
Robocop was one of the greatest sci--fi films ever! 2 and 3 and the remake, nope!
R.C.2 suffered from studio interference, and 3 was just bad!
The remake I will not see ! EVER!!!!!
I'd buy that for a $1
You have your dates wrong.
Enjoyable analysis... 1987 was indeed a masterpiece
I prefer Robert Cop 2 myself.
The darker tone made sense at least to me, Detroit got way worse and police are on strike.
I saw RoboCop 3 in theaters. I remember thinking it was the Power Ranger RoboCop movie
RoboCop was a movie perfectly aimed for being a franchise, while simultaneously being completely one-and-done told in a single movie with nowhere really worth going after that.

06:53; when is the next installment of "Robodoc" ?
Robocop 2 is a lot like Predator 2; a descent enough sequel to a movie that didn't really need one.
Robocop 2 & 3 early concepts (rough drafts & scripts) was a good,bold,and innovative ideas for me,but like you said in 15:06 - 15:10,those 2 became a forced,half-hearted project that ultimately "killed" the franchise in the silver screen.

Robocop 2 is awesome i dont care what anyone says.
RC3 came out in 1987?
Never saw Robocop 2 and I see no reason too.
RoboCop 3 wasn't in 1987

1 and 2 were awesome

I didnt even bother watching robo 3 or the remake. they are a disgrace to even mention.
Robocop 2014 with its PG-13 este did not feel the sane as the original movie.
I can’t forgive that terrible live action tv series
