Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Irina I love Robocop very much. I really love all 3 robocop movies including R2 and R3. Many people will disagree with this one but it's my own opinion."RoboCop: The Series" is by far one of the best and unfortunately, most overlooked TV shows ever. It's probably my all-time favorite Sci-Fi series. First of all, I love its storyline. Every episode was great. They developed Murphy's inner world more, his family, wife and maybe even emotions. They didn't put much of gore, 'brutality' and bloody moments. That's why some die-hard fans disliked it but not me. It was still very cool and intriguing. Richard Eden looked great as Alex Murphy but most of all I loved Yvette Nipar. She played Lisa Madigan brilliantly. Blu Mankuma and Andrea Roth did a fantastic job too. Too bad, they made only one season. I needed more and more Brilliant series!!!

Freemheart Watch just the pilot was a shocking experience because: this was the first time in my life couldn't watch more than the first 5 minutes of movie or Tv show. The reason the horrible acting of every cast member (a bad acting can be resistible but a horrible acting...), the brainless script so childish as every power ranger episode. I love every robocop movie, but this bad copy of of the saga it could only serve as a lesson of what can be do to destroy an action hero. The most funny thing is: the lesson finally was learned and the other TV movies were so good as the first movies.

bmartin79 Although there is more than one way RoboCop could have been adapted for television, this is a very good way to do it. Although movie director Verhoeven's touch is missing on the series, the original writers Miner and Neumeier return (at least for the pilot) to put Robocop back on track. The content is somewhat toned down over the original movie (both because of its conversion to television and because it is aimed at a younger audience), but the spirit of the original is in most ways preserved: the satire, personal drama (mostly regarding Alex Murphy/Robocop), and the good-guy vs. bad-guy action. The drama regarding Murphy is expanded on, as we get more exposure to his memories and to his family, and there is added a character, in the form of Delta City's new brain, who shares in many ways Murphy's plight. Ultimately, the television series comes off closer to the original movie than either of the two theatrical sequels.The television series does take a slightly different spin than the movie, but ultimately it works out for the best. Robocop here is more of a comic book superhero, but not necessarily in a bad way. He is superhuman both physically and morally, and yet we remain sympathetic to his plight throughout. He is someone we really want to root for. (Personally, I think RoboCop makes the most interesting superhero since Batman.) The villains are more comic-bookish as well, but they do not seem out of place given the change in tone. The series can be serious and yet be silly in an almost Batman-like way at times, without the two ever seeming at odds with each other. Also changed is the tone; the series moralizes more, and has cut the graphic violence of the original. It is sort of RoboCop with more of a conscience.In addition to its other virtues, the series adds surprisingly high production value and more than tolerable acting (Richard Eden especially does an interesting job as Robocop - very mechanical, quite appropriate). For fans of RoboCop or of comic-book-style action shows like Batman and Superman or hardcore sci-fi fans this is a must see. For anyone willing to experience something out of the ordinary, this is very good viewing. It is a shame it only made it one season, I would have loved to see more.

The Terminator This has to be the biggest insult to a film ever. Robocop - The Series has basically taken a creative and well-known character and exploited it, using it only because the creators are so dumb they cannot think of anything themselves. The show is made for kids and the acting is diabolical, even by Robo himself. There is no plot to any of the episodes and no genuine villains, simply guys who act like kids who happen to have bombs tied to themselves. The film sequels were bad, but hell, they seem like a million dollars compaired to this pile of absolute garbage. Don't even contemplate watching this, staring at a dogs butt is more exciting than this.
