Movie Reviews of Robocop 3

Movie Review: The Best Science Fiction Cop Drama *EVER*
Summary: 5 Stars

The finest film of the three and easily the best science fiction film of the past half-century, Robocop 3 is a film epic.

Few films are able to successfully combine the meta-ideas that haunt Mary Shelley's work and appropriately transform the tenets of Victorian horror to the screen. Robocop 3 accomplishes this masterfully, yet also manages to retain the subtleties of character not seen in a script since Hoffman's and Bancroft's work in "The Graduate".

The cinematic special effects wizardry are perhaps only dwarfed by the Oscar-worthy performances of this elite ensemble cast. In the hands of this clever and artful set of actors the amazingly rich script blossoms like Netherlands tulip fields. Richly woven into every scene are shades of texture and plot that Ridley Scott himself would do well to learn. Absorbing the carefully crafted plot is like imbibing the best of Hitchcock. The sci-fi cinemetography brings that of the Star Wars series to but a pale comparison. Opulant in its expression of new ideas, this film is nothing less than ground breaking.

This is a film that truly deals with man's struggle with himself and an increasingly impersonal, mechanized world -- yet it is capable of other scales too as these struggles are cast against a backdrop of social class turmoil *and* a rich commentary on the effects of globalization on local communities.

I imagine it would be hard for the team that created this to top themselves.

Summary of Robocop 3

No Description Available.
Genre: Feature Film-Action/Adventure
Rating: PG13
Release Date: 8-JUN-2004
Media Type: DVD
Early on in Robocop 3, an action figure of our metal hero on the nightstand in a little girl's room informs us that he's now become a children's toy. The image is right on the money; despite following up two of the most violent, hilarious sci-fi/action films ever made, Robocop 3 is strictly for the kiddies. It's not just that the gore has been toned down considerably to make for a PG-13 rating; also excised is the straight-faced portrait of a world run by corporate fascism. When evil corporation OCP, and its even more evil Japanese parent company, plan to raze a Detroit neighborhood to put up the shining new Delta City, the residents (including the aforementioned adolescent, who conveniently happens to be a computer expert) gang up to fight back, just like the angry neighbors in Death Wish V. Robocop (played this time out by Robert John Burke, Peter Weller having wisely passed) could be a hindrance to the companies' plans, so a ninja android is sent in to deal with him. Even all this could have been enjoyable, in a campy sort of way, but nothing pays off as either comedy or action--tellingly, the two big showdowns with the ninja start exhilaratingly (Robocop's clunky movements hilariously counterpoised by the android's acrobatic leaps), only to end just when they're getting good. Director Fred Dekker has some nice stylistic touches scattered about, but not nearly enough to save the film. One high note, though: The animated "Johnny Rehab" spot may be the funniest ad in the whole series. --Bruce Reid
