Advantages: Characters, Intelligence, Humour, Plot.S Disadvantages: Stop-Start Animation is a little dated by today's standards.
There's good films and then there's good films that defined a genre. Along with The Terminator, Robocop is considered to be one of the most definitive movies of Cyberpunk, a subgenre of Science Fiction; an exploration of man with machine. Paul Verhoeven's film is brutally violent, funny, and thought provocative. A classic.
It's a scary thought living in the future. "Old Detroit", as it's called, is all about Capitalism and the media, with little regard for the people's lives. The Police Department has become privatized due to financial ruin, and crime on the streets is getting out of control. Enter "Robocop" (Paul Weller) a cyborg police officer built from the remains of slain cop Alex Murphy, by Capitalist big-shot Bob Morton (Miguel Ferrer).

When I discovered that a lot of the Disney DVDs were being re-released on DVD, I was ecstatic! I had been desperate to own all my childhood favourites, but could never find the ones I loved. Unfortunately, when I scanned the shelves in several shops, the Lion King: Simba's Pride was nowhere to be seen. I was gutted!

There didn't seem to be any cartoon films I fancied, so I set out to buy some 'real people' films ~ those where the characters on our screens are actually lifelike and not ...
