Critics Consensus

A less satisfying rehash that generally lives down to the negative stereotype of sequels, RoboCop 2 tries to deliver more of everything and ends up with less.

An enjoyable yet familiar follow up to the first Robocop. It delivers exactly what you left wanting more of from the first one with arguably better cinematography and direction and a great performance from Peter Welling. The villain while nothing amazing definitely is more memorable than the first.

Classic 80s action movie. Εmbraces the violence and dark humour, contrary to PG13 stupid remake. The movie is not worthy of the first but I love her

Gritty and in your face, like Frank Miller wanted it. Robocop subverts expectations of what your expecting in the sequel, while giving you a precursor of what modern day reality is now in he 21st Century. Technology replaces manpower and governors make deals of corruption that challenges morality. For most of its criticism, it's further reflecting on a time once was and history repeating itself.what hurt the film was indeed its editing in the final stages that throws pacing by off quite often, and musical score being below par. May not have been as great of an ideal to give away too much creative control.

I NEVER understood the hate, call me crazy but this is a classic and has always been one of my favorites since childhood (though ultra violent scenes often make me feel gross after haha) The first one is of course innovative and terrific and an American classic of all time, but for me the second is better/ more nostalgic. Great action, story "WHERE IS CAIN?!!", humor, even a couple scenes with heart!

You may never know whether Murphy has completely turned into a machine, but you know the movie has, and boredom sets in.

Gone is the heart of the first film with its mini-tragedy of a man trapped in a machine.
