Robocop has become a cult classic for many movie buffs. And I have to agree. It has a great mix of humour, great dialogue and satire. Many find the violence --over the top--but if taken in context with the whole movie...its really a necessary element. I believe that this film was never---at any point---meant to be taken seriously. The first scenes, where we see two ridiculously funny T.V. presenters sets the tone for what is to come. I don't agree with those who call this science fiction. The word is FUTURISTIC. This is never boring and moves along at a nice pace. The characters are well acted and memorable. Well worth watching ...and like all cult movies...can be enjoyed on multiple viewings.
