Amazon.co.uk Review
Early on in Robocop 3, an action figure of our metal hero on the nightstand in a little girl's room informs us that he's now become a children's toy. The image is right on the money; despite following up two of the most violent, hilarious sci-fi/action films ever made, Robocop 3 is strictly for the kiddies. It's not just that the gore has been toned down considerably to make for a PG-13 rating; also excised is the straight-faced portrait of a world run by corporate fascism. When evil corporation OCP, and its even more evil Japanese parent company, plan to raze a Detroit neighbourhood to put up the shining new Delta City, the residents (including the aforementioned adolescent, who conveniently happens to be a computer expert) gang up to fight back, just like the angry neighbours in Death Wish V. Robocop (played this time out by Robert John Burke, Peter Weller having wisely passed) could be a hindrance to the companies' plans, so a ninja android is sent in to deal with him. Even all this could have been enjoyable, in a campy sort of way, but nothing pays off as either comedy or action--tellingly, the two big showdowns with the ninja start exhilaratingly (Robocop's clunky movements hilariously counterpoised by the android's acrobatic leaps), only to end just when they're getting good. Director Fred Dekker has some nice stylistic touches scattered about, but not nearly enough to save the film. One high note, though: the animated "Johnny Rehab" spot may be the funniest ad in the whole series. --Bruce Reid, Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrifying vision of a future ruled by big business., 24 Oct 2008
This third Robocop film kicks off with one of the darkest scenes in the entire series - a household, followed by a housing estate, taken over by a ruthless corporation, much of it from the point of view of a little girl.

Though Peter Weller never returned for this sequal, the new Robocop actor does a good job of imitating him. In this film (in a kind of parable of the tin man from Wizard of Oz) Robocop is given a heart, and realises he must now turn his back on the power-crazed OCP bosses. The new villains are good, the ninja cyborg is chilling and there is a real sense of hope for the future as the police officers and citizens realise the real enemy is the corporation who promised them a glowing future. This film has more humour than before, granted, but that helps counter-balance the darker moments. A great film.

5.0 out of 5 stars ROBOCOP 3 :THE MISSED HIT, 17 Nov 2001
By J. S. Egerton (Belfast, County Down United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Robocop 3, what can I say?!:) I love this movie! It is a truly great sequel, much better than Robocop 2, which though I enjoyed, it does not compare with Robocop 3. What I like about this movie, was that the violence was toned down somewhat, the makers of these movies must have realised Robocop had a huge fan base of under 16's.

Robert Burke steps into Peter Weller's shoes, and does a fantastic job. He brings empathy to the character, and retains Robocop's movements to perfection. Nancy Allen also returns in her role one last time, as Lewis.

Something weird happened when this movie was released here in the UK on video in 1994. Some smart person had the idea of releasing the feature length pilot of Robocop: The series on video at the very same time as Robocop 3. It caused national confusion, resulting in the Robocop :The series rental profits to soar, and Robocop 3's to plummet.

Whatever your view on the Robocop series, Robocop 3 is a well made and enjoyable sequel. Packed with special effects, and a great story. So rent it or buy it, but don't let this little gem pass by.

5.0 out of 5 stars Robocop 3, 8 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This one's a lot different from the other two. It's less violent and more funny. They have re-designed the suit a lot better and Robo has a lot more better gadgets. The way it is directed and with the much better musical score it feels a lot more modern than the previous ones. As for the DVD, don't buy it just because of the extra features because other than a trailer... there aren't any! The picture is anamorphic, which is one reason why it's definately much more worth buying than the American release. It's a lot better than the other morbid ones. It's a lot of fun but don't expect too much. (What more do you expect from a film with the baddie saying "I though your ninja was supposed to take care of Robocop!")

Although I'm a huge fan of the Robocop and Robocop 2 films I couldn't bring myself to like Robocop 3. Not surprisingly it was released straight to video. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Different But Has It's Good Points
Fans of RoboCop 1 and 2 will be in for a shock when they watch this movie. Unlike 1 and 2, RoboCop 3 scraps major violence, hence the 15 certificate and goes for the kiddy action... Read more
