Review of RoboCop (1987) by Nader H — 06 Mar 2014
Forget the new RoboCop. The original RoboCop was an instant classic, filled to the brim with original ideas, clever storytelling, and poignant stabs at the culture of corporate greed and excess that was alive and well in 1980's America.
The characters were all very enjoyable, and the film itself is one of those films that proved that films with over-the-top violence can be intelligent and thoughtful as well, even though most of those films weren't.
The special effects have a timeless quality, and this is shared by the film's overall style, not to mention the kick-ass action scenes, which make the film even more memorable and enjoyable. Overall, I don't have much faith in the new RoboCop, but I insist that you go and watch the original classic RoboCop.
If you haven't seen it yet, you're living under a rock.
