Next up for the month is a little something different. If
folk think that you need aliens, space adventures, and big booms to tell a
story, then the Robocop series will prove you wrong. Well, the big booms
are there at least. Robocop is something I’ve always had an interest in. I
think I saw the first Robocop movie on ABC a long time ago. I never watched any
of the animated series but I think I owned a toy. I’m not sure on that. It’s
one that I’ve wanted to revisit here, so now’s the time to re-visit the first
three movies and the 2014 reboot.
As I said before, I saw the original 1987 movie when it aired
on TV. It and Robocop 3 were one of the first movies I viewed on Netflix. I
don’t know how I first saw Robocop 2. It may have been on TV. I know I’ve seen
it since then on TV. I actually rented Robocop 3 when I was a kid. Other than
Netflix, I don’t think I’ve seen this one on TV. If it was on there, I probably
skipped it. Then, there’s the 2014 reboot. This one was also a Netflix viewing.
I never got to see it in theaters (nor rented it), so Netflix was the best
place. So, what do I think of these now that I’ve recently re-watched them?
