Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

adctd2gtr When my friends and I rented this movie, we were hoping for a badly-made heckle fest. The kind that's so horribly bad that it just makes it funnier to watch, whether it was meant for comedy or not. This movie was even worse than that. It was basically unwatchable, except for the train wreck effect, as people call it. You know, when there's something so bleeding awful that you can't seem to turn your sight away, yet it only gets worse as you watch. This was that on a DVD for all to lose self respect from. In any case, we stuck it out till the end in hopes it would redeem itself at *some point*. We would have saved a few Kleenex from confusion/anger-induced nosebleeds, had that been the case.It was as though nothing had anything to do with anything else. The movie begins to go into some detail establishing one plot device or another, and then you don't hear ANYTHING about it again. One minute there's this little girl talking to Robocop - the next, she runs AT LIGHT-SPEED, super-powers-style, down an alley - for no reason whatsoever, much less any explanation or relevance to anything in the rest of the movie. There were countless moments of visual miscarriage in this movie but the so-called climax may have been one of the worst, where for approximately 15 minutes straight, you have a bunch of SWAT team members or something fighting against Robocop (for no reason at all, it seemed), while this little girl is screaming, and Robocop kneeling over her to protect her. For 15 minutes. With NO CHANGE. What the hell.I was going to rant about a couple more of the asinine moments in the "movie" (or as I call it, 'What the devil's autistic little brother, Steve-o might subject you to if you're a sinner when you die') but I'm pretty much starting to get annoyed all over again about the 90 minutes that movie will never let me have back. I hate you budget Robocop. Please die again.

skeeziks8888 I actually worked on this abortion for most of 1999. I can't say there is any aspect of it I am particularly proud of, it was like a bad dream. The only redeeming factor is my cheques didn't bounce!Has this Epic Masterpiece actually made it onto DVD? Usually the Space Channel or CITY-TV (co-funders) play it in the wee hours of the morning. I may look around for it in the remainder bins or second-hand stores and re-gift it next Christmas to a company person I especially despise.My condolences go out to the beleaguered editing team (Chuck Kahn, I love you buddy!) and those poor underpaid folks at the post-house Stargate Studios (no relation to the SF series)in Toronto who had to put up with the director (anyone with really long hair who wears a full length black leather jacket and white running shoes has a fashion problem, ya know?)fuming at them and making endless changes for no $... eh...you get the picture, typical bottom-feeder stuff.The music score is mariachi music. It's ridiculous and rings completely false, like John Cable's moustache which looks like it might fall off and be inhaled at any moment.Oh yes, about the SPOILER: it could be called Brokeback Robo in a way, the two RoboClutzes shamble off into the good night. We all should do the same and avoid, AVOID, A-V-O-I-D this bland uninspired dreck."Brought to you by fans of the original" indeed. Meh.

sgtdraino I'm a big Robocop fan. The only Robocop thing I HAVEN'T seen, was the cartoon, so I can't compare it to that one.But in comparison to the 3 movies and, yes, even the TV series, this is the saddest Robocop has ever been.Robocop is, of course, the ultimate superhero movie.Robocop 2 was almost as good. It's biggest shortcoming was the lack of the classic Robocop theme music. If Basil's music could somehow be edited into this movie, I think people would be amazed at the improvement.Robocop 3 was almost as good as Robocop 2 (seeing a trend here?). The music is back, most of the characters from the previous movies are present. Robert Burke is no Peter Weller, but he does his best, and his best is just barely good enough. Robocop 3 is a bit cheesier than the previous entries, and Robocop SHOULD NEVER FLY. However, the movie does have some moving moments, and on the whole did feel like "Robocop."Robocop: The Series was geared towards a younger audience. The violence was toned WAY down, and some of the acting was about as cheesy as what was found in Robocop 3. Unfortunately, none of the villains measured up to any of those found in any of the movies. All were too cheesy. HOWEVER, Richard Eden did an excellent job as Robocop. Better than Robert Burke in Robocop 3. The supporting cast of good guys were also quite good on the whole, with the possible exception of the popularly despised "moppet." The creators did a pretty good job of maintaining the visual style of the movies, with the same cars, uniforms, gear, etc. I could tell they cared about what they were making. Yes, it was juvenile, but it had heart and it still felt like "Robocop." The show's opening music theme was particularly good, an expansion on Basil's original theme.Robocop: Prime Directives was very, very sad for me. I'd been anticipating this quite a bit, and was prepared to give it a lot of slack. I'd kept up with production on their website, and had heard that the folks involved were big Robocop fans.I was VERY disappointed.As many have mentioned before, Page Fletcher was totally miscast. I'm sure he did his best, but he was just way too short, and did not know how to move or act as Robocop. The worst portrayal of Robocop in existence. The plot of the miniseries I found to be dull, cheesy, and clichéd. The effects were not even up to the level of what was found in the TV show. Because this story takes place so many years in the future, there are no familiar images to tie in with what has transpired before. It's almost like Robocop was dropped into some other town, where nothing is like it was. He is the only familiar image, and a sad miscast image at that. There is no sense of history. The fact that Prime Directives pretends that Robocop 2, Robocop 3, and Robocop: The Series all never happened is an insult and a cop-out (a Robocop-out?). Sure those movies and the TV series had their faults, but ALL of them were superior to Prime Directives. A sequel should only ignore what has come before under the most dire, DIRE circumstances. Say... Alien 3. And if that sequel does ignore what came before, it had better be good enough to merit that. What came before Prime Directives was not that bad, and Prime Directives was not NEARLY good enough. F-

vyruss "Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?"Apart from that, this was a bit disappointing, too cheesy, too TV-ish for my taste. But I guess that these people had to work on a very very tight budget, so I'll cut them some slack. Obviously there were fans of the original 2 movies involved, so I'll give them credit for that as well.I do believe, though, that this would have worked much better as a 2-hour movie, with better casting & visuals instead of standardised TV series fare.
