Robocop 2 Vs Terminator 2: Judgment Day?


I vote Robocop 2, T2 is a good movie as well but I have always preferred Robocop 2.

I love both but T2 blows Robocop 2 out of the water. Overall T2 had a way better story and superior special effects. However I do think Robocop was better than The Terminator but that's just my opinion.

Is this a real question? Are you comparing one of the greatest action/sci fi movies of all time, one of the greatest blockbuster movie, one of the few sequels that improves on the original to *beep* Robocop 2?!






If I don't reply, you're probably on my ignore list for something I forgot already

T2, no contest.

T2, no contest, I loved the first RoboCop movie but never found any of its sequels memorable. T2 is a classic and still very quotable to this day, unlike RoboCop 2.

reply

T2 definitely.The first Robocop was a dark violent classic.The sequels were too tame.

T2 is not a very good film, normally sequels are better than originals, but in this case it was highly inferior, I remember when I was 11 year and saw this how dissappointed I was, no one wanted to see Arnold Termonator as a good guy, and making it a family film what started as a pure pulp horror. The sequel completely butchered the potential this franchise had after the 1st film... the seriousness of the original was gone, once the light-heartedness and cgi started appearing, it was a let down for many of us kids back then, we liked it, but as a sequel to Terminator it failed to fulfill the potential of its tone it had established. It was becoming more Hollywodized and dramatized to be taken seriously, the first film felt grounded down to earth like it could have happened in our life, 2nd film felt more like a film to enjoy, but not really something to relate to as something that could happen in life with each presented scene. It sacrificed so much, so much... people forget that because it is a quality film, but forget what following films could have done...

Obviously Robocop 2 is superior... including in special effects, which seem more grounded as well, it also didn't manage to change the tone and storyline so dramatically like T2, so it workds better as a sequel.

One of the most unintentionally hilarious posts ever 🤣

I concur with you.
CGI in T2 a letdown...

I SAW IT IN THE THEATER IN 1991...THE CGI WAS AMAZING.

T2 is a classic and Robocop 2 was kind of disappointing to me.

I love that Robocop 2 took on the War on Drugs, demonstrated it was moronic. Overall, I don't think the movie is as good as T2. T2, by the way, hasn't held up over time. Last time I tried to watch it I kept cringing so I had to turn it off.

reply

I could barely get to the end of your post becuase of the sheer cringe 😬

reply

It's soooo cringe. Furlong was a terrible child actor and the dialog between him and Arnold was even cringe at the time. It's like looking through the eyes of a boomer and asking him to write down what he thought kids found cool. Hasta la Vista? The kid from RB2 was more realistic to the time, and that was set in the future. We were listening to N.W.A. and gangsta rap. Not rocking out to garbage on MTV. The whole movie was just a complete 180 from the original.
