Review #004: RoboCop 2.
Cast
Peter Weller (Alex Murphy/RoboCop), Nancy Allen (Anne Lewis), Belinda Bauer (Dr. Juliette Faxx), Dan O'Herlihy ("The Old Man" / OCP President), Felton Perry (OCP Vice President Donald Johnson), Tom Noonan (Cain), Willard E. Pugh (Mayor Marvin Kuzak), Gabriel Damon (Hob), Galyn Görg (Angie), Stephen Lee (Officer Duffy), and Robert DoQui (Sgt. Reed) Directed by Irvin Kershner (#114 - The Empire Strikes Back)
This film has alright acting, Weller doing the best once again, but Gabriel Damon isn't playing this character too mean spirited for my taste. The film is dark, but a little too dark for my taste. RoboCop gets more development, with him confused over his identity and getting beaten up, and being healed, with the final showdown, which reminds of The Empire Strikes Back (Also directed by Kershner) The film is okay, it's some of the acting, such as Hob and other elements that makes the film mean spirited. For that I change my rating from what could've been a 9 to a 7. We'll get to RoboCop 3 soon...

Overall, I give it 7 out of 10 stars.
