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.

Newsweek

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.

So much fun! Fantastic action and oozes with style. Having a gun toting, irredeemably evil child as the villain who drops hardcore curse words was INCREDIBLE. If only Hollywood had the guts for that nowadays

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This film is in one word “disturbing”. It is a horror movie with as theme Robocop. Some scenes are such disturbing that one can not understand how a robocop film has reached these levels in the script. Nightmare scenes. The film lacks emotion and a kid as a terror-boss makes it even more disturbing, trying to strangle a cop.

Ends rather abruptly, with a lack of Robocop, makes for a somewhat mediocre, but filling movie.

Amazing effects, action, visuals and it's still present (albeit even more in your face) themes and social satire fortunaly overshadow the VERY messy script and core story. Underrated.

It couldn't have been hard to make a good RoboCop sequel. This is bad.

Tom Noonan may be one of the oddest choices for a bad guy. If you get a chance pick up some Sunblock 5000. Thank you for not smoking. #HobIsTheShit
