In Robocop 3 Robocop is befriended by a young girl whose parents have been killed, and after his partner is killed by the head of a private security firm, he joins a group of rebels to fight back against the evil businessmen. There is a notable fight sequence between a plastic-like robot Ninja and the sluggish metal Robocop, which, together with the rebels hiding out in the derelict General Motors Factory, constitutes a thinly veiled critique of the Japanese car industry from the heart of Detroit - the original motor city. (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM))

The third installment is simply stretching the series, and Frank Miller once again shows that he can write a screenplay with interesting moments. However, that doesn't necessarily mean it will translate into a watchable film. In this case, it's already a mess that simply can't function properly even for a die-hard fan. Unfortunately, only the third installment, which thankfully fits in.

It’s for kids, all I missed was Robocop petting a puppy or something like that. It does have some funny ideas, it even has a hint of something that could be called a screenplay, but otherwise it's emasculated of Verhoeven’s irony and subversiveness, and I'm not exactly saying that I necessarily need the blistering gore that the first one was full of, but here the action is so sterile it hurts. They knew how to make things much spicier in the 1980s. In the last quarter of an hour we move dangerously close to self-parody. Peter Weller made a smart move and left the sinking franchise in time.

While Robocop's decent revival is clearly inspired by the second Terminator (child sidekick, indestructible adversary), it abandons satire for good and is careful before shooting someone to smithereens, but it is skillfully filmed entertainment. In addition, Basil Poledouris returned, and with him the central motif that the previous film (among other things, of course) sorely lacked.

It’s one big guilty pleasure that can only be criticized for making RoboCop into a sentimental tragedian with a tendency to protect small children and the virginity of unknown girls, for stealing from Terminator 2, and finally, the reprehensible failure to use an evil Japanese man. Otherwise, this film is unceasing fun at the expense of perhaps the majority of the crew, who I pat on the back for the fact that it's much better than the second film. 2 ½.
