An inferior follow-up, but still entertaining. Lacks an interesting central villain, but some great robot mano-a-mano.

Despite a few laughs and some exciting moments, RoboCop 2 is a mess.
01/01/00
An unfairly maligned sequel that's just as edgy and exciting as the original.

You almost have to admire Robocop 2 for undermining everything its predecessor stood for with an incredible sense of single-mindedness.

...the film forsakes most of its progenitor's lighthearted yet moving emotional appeal and replaces it with gunfire, car chases, and explosions.
