So what have we learned about Robocop? I think we’ve learned that it is one really
awesome/great/all-time/classic movie that still holds up and demands to be seen
still to this day, but an incredibly weak franchise that has never risen close
to the heights of the original or has lived up to even lesser but good
sequels. Paul Verhoeven is the one man
that understood how this thing worked and also was able to successfully
translate it to the big screen. I like
to give a lot of credit his way, but a case could also be made that this story
and character truly can only work for one movie. The more you focus on him and the longer you
follow the goofier and more ridiculous it can get.
