follow which and the touted update go and shoot itself through the head . rather apt and consider the sorry state of this movie and a sequel to a film which patently do not need one . what really irritate about robocop 2 be that the maker obviously do not understand why the original be so good in the first place . robocop ( 7 ) be a witty and vibrant satire of bad action movie . robocop 2 be just a bad action movie . thin on dialogue and particularly towards the tedious and shoot out finale and it attract little interest and possess none of the energy or spirit of the original . the spoof ad and now a little tasteless ( warn represent continue use will cause skin cancer ) seem merely there a an afterthought . and call a new designer drug nuke be nowhere near a subtle or as funny a the original family board game and nuke em . the stop motion animation the weak element of the original be use more extensively and while this humourless sequel fail to include a credit sequence and which make it look even more cheap and hurried . ah and humourless . you might say . but what about the funny mayor and or the way robo be reprogrammed to spout platitude . yes and these be attempt at light relief and a be robo tighten himself up with a screwdriver ( be only human ) for the film punchline and but none be likely to induce laughter . like the rest of the film and theyre staid and moronic attempt at entertainment . the third and final film in the series ( imaginatively title robocop 3 while 5 ) saw peter weller leave and to be replace by robert john burke and who do well in a undemanding role . with toned down language and violence and it be an obvious plea to the kiddie market and a robo action figure much plug throughout . with it social conscience too overstated and and robocop new find arm attachment and jetpack get too silly and the final film be never destine to be a masterpiece . yet fluid direction by fred dekker and a flowing pace make this one enjoyably throwaway view . robocop and then and be the film proper . robocop 3 be the sequel which you could watch if there be nothing well on . which leave the second movie hanging in the middle and an unwatchable dirge of a picture . a franchise vehicle that have nothing to say and save for the pound sign that ring up . irvin kershner be no paul verhoven and just a comic artist frank miller and partner walon green aren not the writer that edward neumeier and michael miner be . a tragic waste of a good and if limit and concept . 4/10 .
