RoboCop

In a desensitized near-future overrun with corruption, police officer Weller is brutally murdered by a gang of criminals and is revived as a superhuman cyborg. Spot on when initially released. Weller's miming is well executed and much of the SFX still holds up. The stop-motion of the droid in the boardroom scene dates very poorly, but the tragic event within the scene is as chilling as ever. Even though the film achieves at having an assortment of very heartless bad guys, their deeds still seem a bit inexplicable and over-the-top even for the bleak world the story is set in. Some of the character-arcs are a bit bumpy and the ending seems slightly rushed. Criticism aside, ROBOCOP is one of the few sci-fi action films of the '80s that has withstood the test of time.
