I actually think Robocop 2 is superior to its predecessor, though many fans of the latter would probably disagree with me. Robocop 2 is very violent, bloody, and often quite funny. The action sequences are exciting and handled with great skill, and the FX are superb. This is one of my favourites.
The film has a promising visual style that never manages to transcend the mundane plotting. A blatant rip-off of Alien, The Terminator, Die Hard and a half dozen other films. Avoid this one!
I would certainly not by any means label myself a Star Trek fan (the spin off series are dire, 5th rate soap operas). Yet this particular film (unlike the insipid sequels) is inspiring. It represents what cinematic SF should be like. A classic.
