Reviews
|
Variety -
Robocop is as tightly worked as a film can be, not a moment or line wasted.
|
|
TV Guide Magazine -
A first-rate production full of nonstop action and inventive special effects but what truly makes Robocop spellbinding is a superior script.
|
|
Empire -
It was this love of mayhem combined with a biting comic attack on neo-fascist corporatism - most notably seen in the TV ads for products like the apocalyptic board game Nuke 'Em - which helped raise Robocop above the common sci-fi herd.
|
|
Washington Post -
Robocop is one weird and entertaining hybrid of camp and sci-fi shoot-'em-up.
|
|
Chicago Sun-Times -
Robocop is a thriller with a difference.
