Review of RoboCop

RoboCop (1987)
10/10
A classic that reminds us why 80s movies rock so hard
24 May 2023
I rewatch this movie every couple years. I am a huge fan of sci Fi and a really huge fan of GOOD sci Fi. This is what I would consider GREAT sci Fi.

It has the perfect blend of being pretty cheesy, funny, gory and serious all at the same time. This movie comes from an era where they made movies because they had a story to tell and they had the freedom to tell it.

Most of the special effects still look great even in 2023. There are some exceptions but they are so brief and for me add to the campiness that makes this a fun movie to watch.

I forgot how gory some parts are and I am not a fan of gore but it works well in the scenes it's used in and it's practical so it looks pretty good.

This is a different take on the western gunslinger that comes into town to clean things up. They also did a fantastic job of building up the bad guy so you really feel invested when the hero goes to to toe with them.

Great movie would recommend to anyone wanting an action movie or a good sci Fi movie.
