The more Verhoeven I re-watch, the more I appreciate how good of a filmmaker he really is.

I ...Robocop is one of the great films of the 1980s. I know that many have looked at it as a political film, and there are elements to it that are definitely reflective of the times. The reason that most people remember the movie however is the brutally violent action sequences and the ultimately hopeful story of a cop named Murphy. This movie was a success but I think the violence and the rating limited it's potential to be the blockbuster it should have been. I saw it in a sneak preview playing with "Adventures in Babysitting" of all things. The roar of the audience at the end of the movie was like a freight train zooming by right next to you. People cheered and screamed and applauded. Somewhere in my photo albums I have a picture of me standing next to ED 209 in the lobby of the theaters at Universal Studios the weeks after this opened when I went to see "Innerspace". <br />Robocop had terrific performances and memorable lines and a hero who wanted to do what was right regardless of whether he was man or machine. I cannot recommend this movie as highly as it deserves to be recommended. FANTASTIC Film making.Richard Kirkhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16428986542891346618noreply@blogger.com
