When my friends and I rented this movie, we were hoping for a badly-made heckle fest. The kind that's so horribly bad that it just makes it funnier to watch, whether it was meant for comedy or not. This movie was even worse than that. It was basically unwatchable, except for the train wreck effect, as people call it. You know, when there's something so bleeding awful that you can't seem to turn your sight away, yet it only gets worse as you watch. This was that on a DVD for all to lose self respect from. In any case, we stuck it out till the end in hopes it would redeem itself at *some point*. We would have saved a few Kleenex from confusion/anger-induced nosebleeds, had that been the case.
It was as though nothing had anything to do with anything else. The movie begins to go into some detail establishing one plot device or another, and then you don't hear ANYTHING about it again. One minute there's this little girl talking to Robocop - the next, she runs AT LIGHT-SPEED, super-powers-style, down an alley - for no reason whatsoever, much less any explanation or relevance to anything in the rest of the movie. There were countless moments of visual miscarriage in this movie but the so-called climax may have been one of the worst, where for approximately 15 minutes straight, you have a bunch of SWAT team members or something fighting against Robocop (for no reason at all, it seemed), while this little girl is screaming, and Robocop kneeling over her to protect her. For 15 minutes. With NO CHANGE. What the hell.
I was going to rant about a couple more of the asinine moments in the "movie" (or as I call it, 'What the devil's autistic little brother, Steve-o might subject you to if you're a sinner when you die') but I'm pretty much starting to get annoyed all over again about the 90 minutes that movie will never let me have back. I hate you budget Robocop. Please die again.
