    Part of this were really amazing but it would be hard to say I liked it overall- Faye Dunaway was incredible. But then there were many parts that were so self aware and cynical that my eyes rolled way back into my head… usually when the characters yelled monologues at each other. So… most of the third act. This film has contempt for the human race.

    Fantastic film. This was my first viewing and I came in blind- not expecting anything.

    What I got was a lovely combination of the Terminator meets Dr. Strangelove. Robocop's satire is on point. It is a brilliant dark comedy about capitalism running rampant.

    The worst criminals in Robocop, contrary to my expectations, weren't the "dregs of society" selling drugs on the street. Instead, the worst are the folks who act with impunity from a position of wealth and power.

    Awesome film. This was the first of many viewings, I guarantee it.
