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."

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."
