4/4
"...a surprisingly smart and funny satire that just gets sharper as the years go by."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

9/10
"One of those rare movies that manage to be funny and entertaining, yet thought-provoking and dead serious at the same time."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Dragan Antulov

3.5/4
"RoboCop set the tone for much of Dutch auteur import Paul Verhoeven's career in America."  Slant Magazine  Eric Henderson

4/4
"an extremely well-made, often humorous comic book revenge fantasy with an underlying subtext of constant satirical jabs at American corporate domination"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

4/4
"Manic, fast-paced and outrageous, Robocop is a classic of its genre. Don't miss it -- even if you can't really stomach violence: it is a glorious comic book come to life."  Sci-Fi Movie Page  James O'Ehley

10/10
"I want to write some kind of terribly detailed explanation of why this is my favorite movie of all time. Quite simply, everything in the movie works for me."  Window to the Movies  Jeffrey Chen

3.5/4
"Somehow the more violence that the director shows, the less real it becomes."  MovieMartyr.com  Jeremy Heilman

8/10
"...a genuine classic, a unique blend of violence, humor, poignancy, and imagination."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

2.5/4
"In the '80s, Robocop was like, wow, but now it feels like a letdown."  Montreal Film Journal  Kevin N. Laforest

6/10
"The plot is supremely cliched."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Mark R. Leeper

"RoboCop is weighed down by its humor, action, and abundant special effects; its humanity is its distinguishing trait."  Not Coming to a Theater Near You  Rumsey Taylor

3.5/4
"deals with Reagan's mad vision of a bellicose, secretive consumer wonderland as the City on the Hill."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
