RoboCop is perhaps my favorite of all movies. It's a dark, and darkly humorous, modern sci-fi classic, much deeper in pathos and drama than a film with a comic book name like "RoboCop" would lead you to believe. The bad guys are over the top and the hero is worth rooting for.
The main thing I just wanted to say is: Don't listen to the "recommendation" to see RoboCop 2!!! Done by a totally director and group of writers, it doesn't have the soul-driven touch of Paul Verhoeven, nor the wry humor of the Miner and Neumeier, and is, quite frankly, an awful awful movie. You're better off watching reruns of the RoboCop tv show on the Sci-Fi channel because that series is actually created by the original writers and it ignores the events of any of the RoboCop sequels.
