whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?????????????, 12 May 2005
Author: briangcb from Ontario, Canada
the first Robocop was amazing, Robocop 2 was a worthy sequel. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!? half the cast was comedians, the acting was god awful, the script was stupid. I mean how do you go from solid R rated flicks to a PG 13? Now this film shows the fall of OCP, and many people jumping out of windows or shooting themselves. Ironically that's what anyone viewing this film would want to do. Which is why they don't have theatres on the top of buildings.
this film should be erased from history, and maybe if they make another robocop call it robocop 3 again, to help people forget about this one.

Robocrap!, 11 June 2006
Author: jonathon_naylor from Manitoba, Canada
This highly-disappointing sequel finds our hero going against law and order by siding with a group of down-and-outers who stand to lose their neighborhood because of evil corporate interests. Along the way Robo crashes cars, battles robot ninjas and flies through the air like a six-ton Superman. Alas, none of it can save ROBOCOP 3, a film into which very little real effort seems to have gone.
When watching ROBOCOP 3, one can't help but think the producers lazily expected the well-established Robocop brand would simply sell itself this time around. Making matters worse, they tried to move away from a more adult-style of action and sci-fi and deliver something you might watch with older kiddies. I mean, robot ninjas??? What is this, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers? This thing even attempts to deliver a do-the-right-thing message, but the whole effort is so muddled and ridiculous it can't succeed (nor should a movie like this even try).
I am willing to cut movies a lot of slack, but this one's a stinker. No wonder Robo was reduced to a cheap Canadian-filmed TV series following this disaster.

One of the worst science-fiction movies ever, 23 January 2005
Author: fender_bronco from United States
When I was very little, I became a fan of the first 2 Robocop films. So when I heard they were going to release a third movie, I couldn't wait. Then I saw the movie, and couldn't believe what I had just saw. I was terrible. The story was actually good and could have worked. But they had to do what ruins a lot of other movies:add a little kid character. It also featured a very horribly written character of a robot ninja. And without Peter Weller from the first two movies, this movie just wasn't the same. And a PG-13 rating? The whole point of the Robocop movies was to make some of the most violent and swear-filled movies you'll ever see. So my advice to you would be to watch the first two Robocop films, and pretend this one was never made.

About what you would expect for a second sequel, 29 January 2005
Author: mjw2305 from England
Firstly if you don't like Robocop at all, then obviously leave this alone, if you've never seen Robocop, watch the first film, then come back and read the rest of this.
Robocop started out as a hard ass cyborg, you simply wouldn't mess with (He even helped spawn a video game, in which he fought the Terminator, you've got to be Tough to be mentioned in the same breath as a Terminator - you get the point, he was hard) and, he was portrayed by Peter Weller, who did a good job.
In number 2, Peter Weller was still there and Robocop was still fun and still tough, even if it wasn't a great movie.
However, now on to the third film, take my advice and miss it, even for Robocop fans, there little here to enjoy, and this is why.
Robert Burke, has replaced Peter Weller as Robocop, and i not knocking him as an actor (I Don't know much of his work), but he isn't Robocop, Period. Also Robocop is now as weak as a kitten, and Oh yes, and he can fly now too, Yawn!
This movie simply insults the Robocop name, in every way, i can't think of a single reason to watch this film, it's another case of no sequels necessary (although Robocop 2 - wasn't all bad)
3/10

Should have pulled the plug, 30 January 2004
Author: grahamsj2 from SE US
The Robocop idea went far enough with number 2. The third installment is just awful. Peter Weller had sense enough to stay away from this set. I enjoyed the first, thought the second was OK but hated this one. This story was contrived and the acting abysmal. When I began to watch this I had a feeling it was going to stink and sure enough, it did! Don't bother with this one.

So 'BAD' it's funny......, 23 April 2005
Author: roh3220 (roh3220@hotmail.com) from MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA
Robocop 3 is an 'insult' to the classic original. First of all, the character of Robocop is played by someone else and the result is just plain embarrassing. The film is very soft on violence, which was a poor decision on the director's part because the original film is notorious for its excessiveness and loved by fans. A PG-RATED Robocop is just a desperate attempt to cash in on the wider audience, which proves that the film was made by profiteers, rather than film-makers. This film is so bad, it's literally dripping with cheese. Robocop flying is an unintentional funny moment in the film and the part where Robocop drives a car off a bridge and lands on all four wheels, is just plain ridiculous. This film was the nail in the Robocop franchise's coffin. I honestly wish that it had never been made.

Darn shame!, 29 February 2004
Author: fibreoptic from England
Righty ho, what went on here then? I can't believe they made this and saw fit to release it! It lacks nearly everything the original Robocop had....especially a big killer robot!
Robocop 1 had ED-209.
Rococop 2 had the huge vicious psycho cyborg Cain.
Robocop 3 had a samurai robot that looked like a normal guy and if you managed to get a decent hit on him he would break like a dodgy little action figure! The director must have realised that this was a bad move half way through making the movie so he added a few more of these unmemorable villains to make up for the fact he didn't have a big impressive killer robot in it and failed miserably.
Sorry but that sums it all up for me. There is of course a load of other faults that i won't go in to but that was the main fault when i watched it.
A few little cool bits in this movie but the bad far outweighs the good. If this hadn't been so sucky we would have probably got treated to a Robocop 4! Damn! 3/10

End of a trilogy, what a way to go out on a whimper instead of a bang., 21 February 2005
Author: Captain_Couth (sirjosephu@aol.com) from Sacramento, CA
Robocop 3 (1993) was an unwanted sequel that helped killed a studio and sat on the shelf for over two years. Why was this movie made? Who knows, it didn't make a dime and the film makers tried to make him kid friendly which killed the series in the process. The movie was so unwanted that Peter Weller didn't want to reprise his role of Officer Murphy for a third time. Whilst the second film was extremely dark and depressing, the third installment swung wildly in the other direction. Two wrongs don't make a right. The director and writer Fred Dekkar should have known better. He made a couple of fun and watchable movies in the past. What ever made them click misfired on all cylinders in this boring and safe for the family sequel.
Well, this movie killed it's box office draw. Nobody wanted to see a kid friendly Robocop. The next time it appeared was on the small screen in two syndicated television programs. Neither raised a big stink and Robocop went back into mothballs. A shame really because Robocop was cool. Hell, part two is a classic compared to this celluloid tripe.
Recommended for die-hard Robocop fans. Other need not apply, except children who want to see Robocop in action.

This is the directorial debut of a total idiot !!!, 30 January 2005
Author: amwcsu from United States
*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
What the hell were they thinking when making this... comic book crap....this insult to celluloid!?!
Spolers Ahead!!! Instead of a drug lord in cahoots with an OCP CEO or a drug cult in bed with local politicians like the first two, we have a platoon of fascist security guards called the "REHAB" which make "Homeland Security" look like a Girl Scout Troop! They tear down people's houses, while the residents are still living in them! They not only relocate the inhabitants, but they execute them like criminals! Why execute them? I mean is there a cheap source of fuel in their fluids or something? What? This tells me that the plot is thinner than a teenage supermodel with anorexia!
Next, Robocop goes on patrol in this post-apocalyptic Detroit with his partner, Anne Lewis, who eventually gets killed by REHAB(probably looking for more homeless people to execute). Anyway, Robo is framed for her murder. OCP has awarrant out to arrest Robocop. "What?"
"Yeah, that's a laugh! Arrest something that's gonna' kick your ass if threatened!" Isn't against his programming to kill another fellow officer? Since he's on the run and OCP is deep in the red they run crying to this Japanese corporation and send over this android ninja. "Was it something new to anticipate?" "Yes!" "Was it something like the intense, white-knuckle action of Predator, or the legendary sci-fi "One Must Fall" face-off like in the Terminator movies?" "HELL NO!"
The fight sequences are dreadfully ridiculous at best, as realistic as flying pigs and anal probes by alien invaders! I knew then it was for kids under 13! Spoiler: The ninja confronts Robo in fight to the death and all this tin can could belt out is "Your under arrest for destruction of police property! All while the ninja kicks his ass and takes off part of his arm. "This movie is a goddamn joke and a half!"
The characters are two-dimensional and more goofier than a hippie on whip-its! REHAB recruits street punks that look more like rejects from an 80's metal video! Wait a minute! isn't this supposed to be Detroit! The same city that is predominately Black. Then why are there crazy white kids with Mohawks and piercings out the ass causing crime instead of kids with baggy pants and Uzis! Why the hell would the Nazis...I mean the REHAB hire thugs to do they dirty work for them when they should have the manpower themselves? Good God, what have these bastards done with the Robocop franchise? They kiddie-ized it! What, no killer cyborgs, no David Koresh-type drug lords, no social satire of American society? "Come on this is ROBOCOP, here, man!"
Spoilers Ahead!
The final battle of this bull***t excuse for a movie has Robocop in a jet-pack! A jet-pack! The last words from the REHAB Fuhrer are: "Stupid fools!" Does this sound like a common Robocop villain? "I don't think so!" The ending is so pathetic it almost made me gag. I said to myself this can't be Robocop 3...it can't be!" "Maybe it's a cheap imitation like they did with the "Universal Soldier" films. Alas, it was the real deal. ARGGGGHHHH! Let's get one thing straight, Robocop is not "Dick Tracy" or "Superman"!He is not a comic book kiddie hero who flies! He is an R-rated movie hero! Whoever directed this blasphemy to science-fiction cinema should be sent to a Siberian gulag! Because he allowed some corporate dumb-ass with the mental capacity of a hyper-active 7 seven-year-old hooked on "Pixie-Stix" and "Jolt Cola" to destroy a cult classic!
They should have stopped at Robocop 2! Then, waited for Verehoven to come back, because when he left the magic left with him! This movie isn't worth the money to rent from Blockbuster! And you're an even bigger-ass fool if you're stupid enough to buy the DVD! Don't look at this travesty...you'll go blind!

Masterpiece isn't the right word, but it's the first that comes to mind, 7 November 2005
Author: r0cket13 from United States
What can one say about perfection? How can you critique Leonardo di Vinci? How is it possible to to describe the taste of the most extravagant fine wine? I've seen many movies in my life, many great movies, but none as spectacular as RoboCop 3.
Robert Burke gives a tour de force performance as RoboCop that rivals the works of a young Marlon Brando in The Godfather and Streetcar Named Desire.
What is it called when all the right pieces fall into places and perfection takes place? I don't know, but RoboCop 3 can best describe that. 1993 was a great year for movies, but sadly RoboCop 3 was not recognized at the Academy Awards. What an absolute shame!
