Featured review
An underrated and truly bizarre film.
The action continues from the first part, OCP is still trying to take over the city and along the way they are trying to create a new cyborg.
The aesthetics of the film are interesting and bizarre, and the atmosphere is dystopian and menacing. The violence is grotesque, bloody and sometimes bordering on the comical, but it never crosses that line.
Humor is present here as well as in the first part, here and there we see a satirical and cynical advertisement that comes as a fun break.
The characters are interesting and fun, and the main villain is solid, especially later on.
The special effects are excellent, they look fun and bizarre. Robocop's opponent is well thought out and brilliantly designed. It looks grotesque and menacing, and that's how it should be. This adds to the atmosphere of the film and fits perfectly with the tone of the film, making it even more interesting.
The cast is solid and did a good job. The characters are deliberately caricatures and fit perfectly into this concept.
The film is underrated, and it deserves much more praise than it gets. When we compare this film with most of the films we watch today, this film looks like a masterpiece.
A combination of action film, satire and horror, same as the first part. A brilliant combination.
