I've only seen the first one so far, but, budget limitations aside, it's not that bad. Holding my interest. Okay, not great, but I read the other parts are better...

Better or worse overall than Robocop 3 (which I actually like, after a fashion, that isI
Are they great, no. Are they average....in places perhaps but not overall.

Colour me properly warned, my friend.I would sooner watch RoboCop 2 (which I think is actually worse than 3) a dozen times in a row than sit through another viewing of Prime Directives.
The production value on Robo3 is about the only place that R:3 beats them. I bought the Robo trilogy set during the summer and watched the first two. Found myself yet to watch 3 because well...its part 3. The TV show was better than part 3, any single hour.Better or worse overall than Robocop 3 (which I actually like, after a fashion, that isAre they great, no.

The TV show subverted all that the series was trying to say; it was a corporate-friendly betrayal of the idea (reality) that we are cogs in the master plan of profit. The third film, while absolutely weak in the final fight with Otomo, had undeniable heart at the core of its tale (and a kick-ass Basil Poledouris score), and should be respected on that level, IMO.The production value on Robo3 is about the only place that R:3 beats them.

I just now watched the second part, and WOW was it better than the first. I *totally* wanna see how this plays out.The minis though may be on par with 3, imo, but remember I only saw the first two minis.
I saw the first one ages ago and thought it was kind of OK, except that Robo appears to be about five foot four this time.
Well, so far, the first ep of 4 was okay, but not great. The second one was really good! If the third & fourth are as good, I'll count myself fortunate to have bought them.I saw the first one ages ago and thought it was kind of OK
Love the avi, BTW.![]()
In the end, I enjoyed it more than both the series AND Robocop 2, but not nearly as much as Robo 1 & 3. Aside from the fact that Page Fletcher was somewhat small for the suit (painfull obvious at times), it wasn't bad at all.I would sooner watch RoboCop 2 (which I think is actually worse than 3) a dozen times in a row than sit through another viewing of Prime Directives.
