Cyborg Detroit policeman Alex Murphy is the sole officer on duty after the police force goes on strike against evil conglomerate Omni Consumer Products and its push to foreclose on the city of Detroit. Aside from dealing with the normal level of crime, Murphy must take on crime boss Cain, the spread of a dangerous new drug called Nuke and the attempt by psychologist Dr. Juliette Faxx to create another RoboCop using a hardened criminal.

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.

Not a terrible movie, nor is it a great sequel either. It's near 'copy and paste' with its writing by redoing what the first movie did, but it's still watchable and entertaining.

It's not so much that it's terrible, it's just that it's disappointing after the immeasurable success of the original movie.

While it is muddled, it's not nearly as good as the original and has a lot of ideas that kinda go nowhere, it's nowhere near as bad as everyone says it is. If you are someone who likes shlocky action movies that don't take themselves seriously, I recommend it.
