This film should have been brilliant, but instead was the same as most sequels out there, just cash-ins trying to make some more money out of the originals success. The 2 original versions of the film, which were sadly never made, were brilliant compared to what we got, and only because of an impatient film company was Verhoven not allowed to return to make his second part. Even at that, there are so many cut scenes in this film which were taken out because they apparently didn't fit the film, but they would have made it so much better!
Instead we get a rushed job. The acting is top notch as in the first, but the film just doesn't have the same feel. People think the film is too violent, but there was more violence in the first film! The film had a lot of potential, but was sadly treated badly. Hopefully the recent talk of Verhoven and the writers Miner and Neumier wanting to return to make their own sequel to the original classic 'RoboCop' will become solid, and true RoboCop fans will get to see a great character in a great film once again. Overall - 7/10.
