  Robocop. The tragic story of a dude who died and his bosses still made him come in to work.

  "Nice shooting son.  What's your name?"  "Murphy."  Robocop reclaims his humanity.  Such a nice little touch, and it gets me every time.

  Peter Weller's level of body control in this is unreal. And there's no way Kurtwood Smith didn't have the time of his life lol

  Robocop is a masterpiece. Perfect storytelling with a redemption arc.<br><br>And it just end with one final word that gives a “happy” ending.

  &quot;I can feel them, but I can&apos;t remember them&quot; is such a sad and poignant line for an action movie.

  Murphy&apos;s &quot;death&quot; scene is easily the most disturbing violence I&apos;ve ever seen in a movie that wasn&apos;t straight-up horror. &nbsp;And even by horror-movie standards it&apos;s well beyond what most of them show.

  This film works on so many levels, made by a real filmmaker, an absolute masterpiece. &nbsp;It&apos;s funny, gratuitously violent, action-packed, and has real heart. &nbsp;Verhoeven says it&apos;s a film about the human soul, also a christ alagory, the crucifixion of Murphy by Satan, and then his resurrection, even having him walking on water at the end.

  Verhoeven had a very distinct visual action style of directing. His films are unmistakably his. From Robocop, to Basic Instinct, to Total Recall, to Starship Troopers. They have a vibrancy and over the top feel that are very enjoyable and seem to jump out of the screen.

  You may be interested to know that the director chose Murphys murder scene to be so over the top violent because he wanted the &quot;human&quot; Murphy to be remembered, as opposed to just being the guy who died and was turned into a robot.

  Not only is this a great sci-fi film but it had some of the most hilarious and biting social commentary I’ve ever seen. &nbsp;I’m thinking specifically of the newscast, the commercials interspersed during the newscast and that awful, cheesy sitcom they all watched with the stupid catchphrase that all the characters just mindlessly react to.

  This is perhaps one of the most widely misunderstood movies in history, and so much more brilliant and unflinching than people give it credit for.
