Robocop: The Animated Series

Had to remind some of you, quite frankly, compared to the live action series or the 1998 cartoon Alpha Commado, this was actually very good and truthful to the movie. Episodes like "The Brotherhood" and "Man In The Iron Suit" should've made up Robocop 3.

I never actually got to see any of the first cartoon series. All I remember is Alpha Commando where Robocop was more like Inspector Gadget. The animation in that opening sequence looked decent.

Also, like Alien 3, I didn't think Robocop 3 was so horribly terrible. Or, at least, I didn't think it deserves all the flak it gets. The dark humor is there in spades, the guy they got to replace Peter Weller did just fine, there are some good surprises (CCH Pounder dying took me by surprise), the Roboninjas and jetpack weren't half as stupid as they could've been and, for a PG-13 flick, it's really violent. It's got it's problems, and it's definately the least in the series, but I wouldn't call it an "awful" movie. But that's just me.

Now, that Canadian-produced live-action TV series with Robocable...that was pretty God awful.

The fact the script was a heavily edited variation of a treatment by Frank Miller also earns it points, I liked Robocop 2 myself despite what they did with Frank's script there also. From what I hear, the cast ad-libbed through most of the film due to the problems.

Man, the good intentions were there, and the story was good, but god was that a bunch of badly produced, directed, and acted peice of fanfiction. On a budget that Al Bundy could easily hold an advantage over.
