And it's going to take everything Robocop has- maybe even his life-to save Detroit from complete and utter anarchy. Reader Reviews Okay, okay, we get it! This isn't the first film. It's not ever going to be the first film, nore can it ever match up to the first Robocop. All of you hardcore "elite" fans need to get a life. Robocop 2 is a good sequel that follows the original the best it can. What people don't seem to understand about some sequels is all the trouble they can go through during production. Robocop 2 does have it's flaws here and there but no more than any other movie sequel. For the most part, it follows up from the original better than expected. You just have to put aside your expectations and just watch the movie for what it is. Plot wise, things haven't changed much from the events that happend in the first movie. The police have gone on strike and crime seems to have taken over the entire city. The evil business OCP has their fingers in alot of trouble here. Not only do they own the police force (and the cause of their strike) but they also seem to be the reason a new and more powerful drug called "Nuke" has hit the streets. The drug lord "Cain" is behind Nuke's creation and seems to think the people actually want the drug, calling it "paradise." OCP's attention seems to be more focused on making a new version of Robocop rather than putting an end to the police strike and shutting down Cain for good. This all makes for a nice set up for the Robocop sequel. What makes the movie work best in my opinion is that the director seems to have captured the same evil, dark and brooding emotions of the original movie. I think it would even be safe to say that Robocop 2 actually has a more violent and disturbing tone than the first movie. This time around, the movie almost has a Horror movie feel to it. One example of what I'm talking about is a nasty little scene where Cain tortures an ex-cop who sold him out to the police. Cain has some underground "doctor" guy strap the cop down to a table and cut open his chest with a knife, while making a little kid watch the entire time. (The kid turns out to belong to Cain but is never truely stated if he was related to him in the movie. Obviously the sicko that Cain is, he wants to brainwash this little kid into being the next big crime lord if anything should happen to him in the future. Once again these are details that are truely never stated in the actual movie. Small problems if you ask me.) Eventually the story takes a turn where Cain actually becomes the new "Robocop" creation from OCP. In my opinion, "Robo Cain" is one of the best movie villain's to ever grace the big screen! He just has to be seen to believe! Over all, Robocop 2 is a good sequel that works pretty well if you watch it back to back with the original. It's not better than the original film but honestly, who expects sequels to actually top the first!?! Here's my main point people, not to mention a good example. FRIDAY THE 13th fans don't watch the original over and over again! They like Jason Voorhees the most, dispite the fact that he doesn't come into play until the sequel of FRIDAY THE 13th. Sometimes sequels give you a little something better than the original, dispite the obvious flaws it might have. Fans of the original now have something to follow up their enjoyment of the first Robocop. Is it better than the original? Nope! Does it really matter? Nope! Remember people, movies are ment to be fun! Kick back, relax and let the blood fly!
