BSA106 Robocop Review

Robocop was made in 1987, directed by Paul Verhoeven, who also directed Total Recall and Basic Instinct. 
Robocop  deals with themes of morality and corruption. This is clear when you begin to see how the criminals are friends and secret allies with people in powerful positions such as those who control the police. It also touches on the idea of rouge robots that are out of the control of their creators.
The special effects don't hold up to today's standards, but this is understandable when you consider the year the film was made. However, they weren't too bad and I would think that the story and themes are still relevant to today.

For me personally, the film is too gory and violent, with too many guns. I appreciated the cinematography, especially the shots of the urban city setting because the director used angles to emphasis size a lot. I remember this particularity in the scene where Robocop saves a woman from two men and his shadow is thrown up on the wall behind them, much bigger than the criminals.
I thought that there were aspects of the film that weren't really what I am interested in such as the guns and explosions and general gore such as shooting off the policeman's hand and shooting characters multiple times or when the guys body goes gross after being in toxic waste, but this was only because it made me cringe because that isn't what I like to watch in movies.
Other than that, I can see why the film is liked by many people because it has good morals overall and tackles important topics, while still remaining generally light with humor.
