    Loved the first one, the second one was okay, but this one is ehhhh.

    Slightly better film than the second film, Robocop 3 introduces a new actor in the role of the half man have machine cyborg. This film returns vaguely to the themes explored in the first film, but doesn't really try anything exciting. The violence is toned down, and the story un... read morefolds as OCP begins the construction of Delta City. A new idea is suggested by the plot, but doesn't try to elevate it by doing what the first film did so well. This third film is a step in the right direction, but unfortunately it's too little too late. Still despite this film being barely passable, this is a much better film and more entertaining film than the second one. What brings this film down is the lack of underdeveloped story and the absence of Peter Weller. Other that this is a pretty interesting third entry.

    To try and understand what kind of crackpot story Frank Miller was trying to get across in this movie will never be fully understood unless you read the later comic adaption, it is by far one of the weirdest possible conclusions to the trilogy. It has its moments of action and co... read moremedy that are completely worth watching.

    I finally got round to seeing this, knowing it wasn't going to be that good. I was surprised that quite a few cast members of the first two were still in it. Sadly no Paul Weller as Robocop and it shows! The story, acting, SFX all of it was pretty rubbish compared to the cult sta... read moretus of the first one. It's been dumbed down quite a bit too and not as violent as the first two either. One to avoid, maybe the remake of the first due next year will put things back on track.

    Another film another big let down.again the effects are lame and now they have gone down the teen audience route, destroying any chance of a good movie, dont bother, Peter Weller didn't.
  • September 7, 2007
    Man was this bad. It was way too silly and the action didn't make any sense half the time. The story was poorly written and they seemed to build things up just to end it without so much as a shout. Like the whole sword wielding android that was hunting him down. That problem ... read morewas taken care of in about 3 seconds.

    Following in the footsteps of the sanitized sequel, rather than the dark original, this is more comic book campness. Again, reasonably entertaining with some very funny moments (particularly the pursuit in the pimpmobile and some great lines "I hope you're insured"!) but again, s... read moreome sickeningly schmaltzy ones.

    Robert John Burke is a worst performance in this prequel metal hero film without Peter Weller.
  • May 3, 2012
    Horrendously awful doesn't even begin to describe this film. The acting is pathetic at best, and the special effects aren't even up to B-movie standards. Not to mention that the plot is insultingly idiotic. In short, RoboCop 3 is an atrocity that defiles not only the name of R... read moreobCop, but cinema itself.

    Robocop 2, we could deal with. But, this is another story. One of the worst science fiction movies I've ever seen. First of all, Peter Weller's not Robocop (that sucks because Weller is the only guy for the role). This new guy just sounds weird. Second, why PG-13? The last two wo... read morerked because they were rated R and were gory. This one obviously was pannered to younger kids but they took everything cool out. The story's fine (good idea for what they were doing to see Robocop rebel against OCP (finally!!) But this film doesn't do it. It's sad because the first two were good, this one.. UGH!!!

Brian Lowry, Variety

Limiting the gore, but not the carnage, in pursuit of a PG-13 rating and more youngsters, pic remains a cluttered, nasty exercise that seems principally intent on selling action figures. Full Review

Stephen Holden, New York Times

In the latest episode of the series, which seems to have nearly run out of steam, he is portrayed by Robert John Burke, an actor who bears some resemblance to Mr. Weller while lacking his forerunner's... Full Review

Why do they persist in making these retreads? Because RoboCop is a brand name, I guess, and this is this year's new model. It's an old tradition in Detroit to take an old design and slap on some fresh... Full Review

This installment goes for straight action, allowing only brief instances of the facetiousness which made the original so enjoyable. Full Review

As for the conflict, it's hardly riveting and often it's downright silly. The sets and effects betray their downsized budget. And the Japanese bashing is less artful than in Rising Sun, though just as... Full Review
