RoboCop 3 (1993)
This movie does not deserve to be part of the robocop series.
What a letdown this move was. Robocop One and Two build a complete sequence of the uncaring and self serving corporate takeover of society and use of cyborg technology or rather misuse. This movie is a total loss the humor is gone , the plausible plot is gone, the concept of realism is non existent , the rating is PG. It should be listed as attempted comedy not science fiction since it deviates so far from the original concepts of the robocop universe. The director is the main reason the 3 movie is crap -I immediately realized something was wrong when the humor appeared to be aimed at 5-10 year olds rather than the usual R rated audience of the first two movies.
Point of No Return (1993)
The Assassin is a very poor remake of La Femme Nikita
I can understand the need for Re-makes of movies but the general aim is to try to improve on the original this remake is so bad it ruins the entire story. The Assassin is a low budget remake intended only to reap money from people unfortunate enough not to know about the original or too Arrogant to watch a foreign film or those who may mistakenly believe The US version is always better. Am so glad i saw this on free TV i was amazed to see such a bad remake given the usual high budget of US movies ( ie US version of The Ring is better than the original).
The acting is worse, script is bad and unbelievable (original was believable and near flawless, And shot on location in Europe) One example is shooting multiple rounds from a bolt action rifle without reloading ! - In La Feme Nakita she uses a Steyr Automatic rifle. Action is badly done - the original has fantastic action and effects and is well researched and likable characters. While the Assassin's hi profile b-grade actors just seem to drag it down even further.
Watch the Original La Femme Nikita it rocks. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100263/
