RoboCop (1987)
7/10
Its almost as old as I am and is still relevant and creative

This movie can look cheap and outdated to some but i thought it was very interesting as a take on privatization of public services.

The gore is tame and the action is passable. But the story is interesting, the tech is cool and the theme song is memorable. The main actor is a plank with a face but i think its appropriate given that he plays a robot whos a human for more time in the movie than a real human.

There's this female side character who gets a good role and thankfully doesnt get romantically involved with the protagonist.

The villains are cartoonish but thats not really a bad thing as the rest of the movie has the same vibes.

The cops are spineless and the city is just trash and crawling with crime. There's no redeeming here. No amount of justice will fix this stuff in the film. And thats why the RoboCop has a reason to exist.

The acting and dialogue is not bad. This is a good film to watch more than once.
