Best Film Ever Made!!!
After I watched the movie I wanted more but there is yet to be a Robocop 4 I wanted to see if it was number 1 or 2 on the AFI top movies of all time list. You can check out the list here: top 10 of all time.
I bet you are now just as shocked as I was when I didn't see Robocop 3 on the list. I started thinking, "How can this be? There has to be another opinion" I went to Rotten Tomatoes to get their take and I was shocked again when I saw this:
5% are you serious? The T-Meter has never let me down before. It's like my world is crashing down, someone has to understand this is the best movie ever! I tried my last resort for solid and honest opinion...Amazon! And like always I was not let down. Here are a few examples of what I found:

This is the first time I remember the third film in a series being the absolute best. Maybe it is because this is the film where Robocop finally gets his priorities straight- as well as the rest of the Detroit PD.

The Best Science Fiction Cop Drama *EVER*,
Few films are able to successfully combine the meta-ideas that haunt Mary Shelley's work and appropriately transform the tenets of Victorian horror to the screen. Robocop 3 accomplishes this masterfully, yet also manages to retain the subtleties of character not seen in a script since Hoffman's and Bancroft's work in "The Graduate". The cinematic special effects wizardry are perhaps only dwarfed by the Oscar-worthy performances of this elite ensemble cast. |
Yes you read that right on the last comment "Oscar-worthy performances!!" Keep that in mind when you view the clips I will post later. These actors are the real deal, some of the best performances I have ever seen. You might think Tom Hanks in Forest Gump was good acting but that is only because you have not seen the heart wrenching death scene between Robocop and his partner Lewis. Oh I am sorry if I spoiled it for you, dang.
So now I am at a crossroads, Amazon customers agree with me but AFI and Rotten Tomatoes do not. I thought and thought and I am now on a personal mission to make the world know Robocop 3 is the best movie ever made. I am going to do this by posting a few clips from the best parts of the movie on this blog and let all of my blog readers view it. There is no way the AFI can ignore the millions of "Life of Tyse" fans!
Now, I hope you understand that getting video from DVD to the Net is much harder than you would think. I had to try 10 different software tools but I finally got it done. I had to rip the DVD, edit the clips down to what I wanted, export them out to a decent file size with the right quality (this was the hardest part), and finally upload them to blogger. Well it's all done and now I have video on my blog, yeah that is right, video blog baby, what now! What you gonna do about it? Ok, sorry, I got a little carried away.
Now, this movie has every element of a great film. Each clip is meant to be a demonstration of my point. I will explain each element I am trying to demonstrate before I show you the clip.
#1 Action and drama. In this clip the s.w.a.t team or police have broken into the rebels hide out. The lady is not scared to handle a gun and goes down. Look at the concern in the child's face, and then notice the chilling realism you can almost see the final beats of her heart as she collapses on the bed or cot, I really don't know what she collapses on.
#2 Special Effects. You thought Robocop was a bad ass, well wait until you have seen a ninja cyborg. That is right, this movie has robots that are ninjas and if you hit them with a metal pole it doesn't matter because their face will just go back to normal thanks to the awesome special effects.
#3 More awesome special effects. Robocop gets a few upgrades, yep a jet pack!!! Surprise, I bet you didn't expect that Robocop can now FLY! and he has a rocket launcher for an arm now. If that doesn't convince you I do not know what will.
#4 Inspiration. See in the best movies there is always an inspiring moment. This is usually when everyone gets involved in the battle and it becomes a joint force that is just unstoppable. Well to illustrate this point I cannot think of a better example than a granny with a machine gun!
#5 Drama and Oscar-Worthy Acting. All right, here it is, be ready to cry. This is the clip I was telling you about where Lewis dies. I am getting choked up just thinking about it. After she dies pay close attention to what Robocop says, the sound might suck a little so I will tell you, he says, "Officer Down" now can you think of a more fitting phrase? That's right Robo, officer down, a great officer down.
#6 Comedy. The plot thickens, the police can no longer handle the rebels. So what do they do? That's right, arm up the local punk gang. The punk gang is called, "The Splatter Punks" and they are a very scary bunch but not too bright. This is where the comedy comes in, now pay attention in the background where the one guy is trying to put a helmet on but his mohawk is just too big and he is all confused. Ha ha ha, I think this is so funny, big mohawk, little helmet what else do you want?
#7 Dramatic Finish. Robocop comes in and saves the day and everyone is so happy. The head of the police force is just so happy with Robocop he tries to call him by his real name....Murphy. But now Robocop is so happy and complete and since his partner died who used to call him Murphy more than anyone else he just goes by Robocop! Make sure you pay close attention to the guys reaction after he asks the question.
Hopefully you have now thrown out your copy of Gone With The Wind and now have Robocop 3 on order from Amazon. If not, then you must have a strange idea of what the best movie ever made is.
