One of the Best Comic Book Movies Ever!

This excellent action, thriller fits into a category or genre that I have dubbed Comic Book Films. In these films the action is tense and furious, the death count unusually high and a little imagination is required of the viewer. RoboCop is even more as it has a high level of satire to spice things up. Paul Verhoeven is one the originators of this genre and one its finest directors. He keeps the pace really moving, adds touches of humor in just the right spots, and he gets the best out of his casts and crews. RoboCop is the perfect example. Peter Weller is perfection as Alex Murphy / RoboCop, giving heart and character to a robot/cyborg and proving he's up to the action as well. Nancy Allen is excellent as his compassionate partner, Officer Anne Lewis. The film has a trio of great villains led by Kurtwood Smith at his nastiest, vilest best, Miguel Ferrer as the sleazy creator of RoboCop, and Ronny Cox as a creepy, despicable CEO of OCP. Dan O'Herlihy adds class as "The Old Man". The score, by the great Basil Poledouris, is fabulous and complements the movie. I highly recommend "RoboCop" to anyone who enjoys a terrific action film!
