Critics Consensus

A less satisfying rehash that generally lives down to the negative stereotype of sequels, RoboCop 2 tries to deliver more of everything and ends up with less.

Nothing redeems Robocop 2, a deadly and surprisingly cheap-looking mess.

Lacklustre return, stripped of Paul Verhoeven's panache and sparkle.

3/10

Director Irvin Kershner and writers Frank Miller and Walon Green have done a decent job of copying the form of the first film, but they've missed the zing, the sharp edge of futuristic cynicism.

Like the original, the film's a violent, brutal, noisy satire, though not as well done.

Kershner's mayhem seems to lack any point at all.

The hysterical brutality is aimed, pure and simple, at exploiting some of the worst of our human characteristics.

Uma continuação piorada, esse é RoboCop 2. Todo o desenvolvimento do personagem do filme anterior foi descartado, é Alex Murphy continua sendo o RoboCop sem nenhum propósito emocional. Ainda trazemos uma trama cheia de elementos ridículos. É feito de uma maneira idiota, mas não era para ser assim. Não originalmente, mas infelizmente ficou assim.

The sequel is okay! Villains are still cheesy and cartoonish. The movie is some over the top. But it still dilevers RoboCop is a bad ass and cool movies, don't get me wrong. But it also stood for something. The movie was against capitalism and corperate greed. It's funny, we saw a lot of movies where rich folks are arrogant and greedy and protect with all they got their invest. We see it in movies, we despite them. But in real life we see them as heroes. Even if they take everything from us. It's like we don't get the movies.

The first film contains a certain attitude and (prophetic) tale of urban decay, privatization and corruption among plenty of cop-movie violence and science fiction design. This film makes numerous serious errors; it throws the original director out, doesn't offer anything much new in terms of character development and has plenty of "upgraded" (ie: slick) action scenes, but no heart to the story, no perceptive satire and really nothing to offer by the end of the story cycle except some shots of robots bashing at each other. The first film was a major hit, so it's likely this picture sold, but compared to the first film it has literally zero memorable scenes, save some nice prop design work for sci-fi enthusiasts.
