Just watched for the first time today, having held off for 30 years due to not liking the trailer/ missing Peter Weller/ robo on jetpack plus others slamming it on release.
Being a huge fan of the first 2 films, I think the 15 yr old me would have hated this on release.
However watching it today, there is no doubt there are massive parallels with the current state of affairs in this world.
Who gets called a terrorist and what is the reality? Whose land is being taken while the perpetrators act like the victims on the mainstream news? Who own the news media that spews out blatantly biased propaganda? Why do they still get away with it to this day? Maybe we all have a strength inside us to overcome it and although it may not be like robocop, it may be realized through a higher power.
Back to the movie, yes initially there is borderline terrible acting that can cause ones eyes to roll in shock when compared with the first 2 films, but it gathers pace and keeps you engaged to the end.
