Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
The first Robocop was thrilling, hilarious, and totally original--none of which has as much to do with the film's spawning two sequels (plus two separate television shows) as its $50 million-plus take at the box office. Though the Law of Diminishing Returns inevitably applies to the theatrical trilogy, the central premise is so strong that each of the lesser sequels has at least a few moments worth catching. That's because the original (wherein Detroit cop Peter Weller, killed in the line of duty, gets transformed into a crime-fighting cyborg) set up an entire world. Director Paul Verhoeven spends as much time lampooning television news, commercial products, and big business as he does on the story; however violent or gory things get (and they get quite icky), the tone throughout is comic, even giddy. Robocop 2, helmed by Irvin Kershner of The Empire Strikes Back fame, sobers up considerably. The film is rather underrated; sure, there are fewer ads and newsbreaks this time around, but there are several inventive touches--Robocop is briefly reprogrammed into a homily-spouting Dudley Do-Right; drug dealers step in to bail out the financially strapped city--and the villains (including the most foul-mouthed, amoral 12-year-old in movie history) are less outrageous than in the first installment. Robocop 3, however, is profit-driven hash. Having Robocop (now acted by Robert John Burke) join a citizens' uprising is a nice idea, and even the ninja android could have been fun, but the movie tries too often to be heartwarming, an emotion thoroughly out of place in this wickedly satirical series. --Bruce Reid

Rating:  - Makes a Robo Fan Happy!
The movies are great
however nothing seems right about the box:
- i own the LDs of the RoboCop trilogy and in terms of the graphics they use on the covers...this DVD box just looks rather...cheap
- and then there's the massive foldout design...gotta keep track of which flap goes over which flap...
- my biggest complaint is how fragile the clear-plastic-pushy-button-disc-releases are, i just somehow broke off all of them upon getting the dvds out, the first time

Rating:  - Bobocop DVD
Very impressed with this company. I was notified the product would be late and they sent it sooner then expected.
Rating:  - Hit, Hit, Plop. As in Cow-Plop.
The first two Robocop movies were outstanding sci-fi/action adventure films. Which is why I couldn't believe a 3rd film had been made that I had never heard of. Now I can only wish that I had still never heard of it. The third instsallment is so badly written and so poorly done that it taints the first two films.
Rating: - not anymore
Remember when Robocop used to actually NOT look cheesy? Times have really changed. There's some really goofy things that happen in the movie that drag it down a *little* bit.
First of all, the very bad animation of that one SUPER robot that came into the picture to eliminate Robocop. Did you see how fake that thing looked? It walked like it was walking on sandpaper. It was not believable in the slightest that this devastating robot was actually *right next* to the people in that ... Read More
Rating: - Great for Robocop fans
This is Great for any Robocop fan, it was excatly what I had pictured it to be when it arrived on my doorstep. The only reason this Trilogy doesn't get a 5 out of 5 is its quality. At times the quality isn't great but is okay.
