This week, HBO and Max Going to lose a handful of movies, including some who may not have a streaming home after the end of June.
One of those movies is RobocopThe 1987 film is widely considered to be among the largest sci-fi action films ever made.
Robocop Presents all the steps that film lovers might want, and also offers a story that has depth, compelling characters, humor and heart. Now it’s time to share the reasons why you need to watch this great HBO and Max movie before she leaves this week.
Science fiction films need not necessarily need aliens or murderous robots to tell a good story. As much fun as watching a sci-fi scene on the big screen, it can be worthwhile to see different types of stories. Warner Bros. ‘Mickey 17 recently released is one of the more focused sci-fi films (…)
‘Robocop’ has a wonderfully powerful story

The setup for Robocop Appears obvious from the beginning. A common cop in Old Detroit called Alex Murphy (Peter better) is cruelly murdered in the duty line before being resurrected and rebuilt as a robocop. Even describing it in that way sounds cheesy, but the film successfully makes the audience take care of Murphy as a man even after he transforms into Gyborg.
Writer Edward Neuminity and Michael Miner deserve credit for making the story turn around Murphy’s internal attempt to regain his humanity. But eventually he came down to Weller to make that journey feel real on screen. Weller projects warmth like Murphy and then seems credible robotic like Robocop, both in the way he talks and moves. Large doses of the film require Weller Emote with his jaw and lower mouth alone – and he makes it beautifully. By the end, the audience is not just rooting for Robocop to kick a donkey, they also want him to be Alex Murphy yet.
This movie incorporates the ’80s in all the right ways

Robocop truly the product of his time, which is one of the big reasons why re -making 2014 re -gipped that lightning in a bottle. This is a R -scale action flic that goes beyond what many modern films would depict on screen, especially during the horrific murder of Murphy early in the film. In turn, Robocop deals with some pretty cruel justice himself, and this film wins his score many times over.
Sci-Fi fans have a good reason to be happy in June, because not every month we get an original streaming film worthy of film theaters. Predator: Killer of Killers can be a direct-to-Hulu animated animated anthology, but one of the best sci-fi movies 2025. It must be admitted, there has not been much (…)
Although the film is set in the near future, everything about it screams from the heartbreaking corporate culture OCP to the way the cops are involved. Ronny Cox Deserves special shouting out as Dick Jones, an WNO Executive that serves as the film’s lead villains. Draw a more ruthless version of Michael Douglas‘Character of Wall Street And he would still not be as evil cartoon as Dick Jones. Cox must be the corporate robber that everyone hated from the ’80s, and it is almost impossible not to enjoy seeing what he comes to.
The film’s satire is sharp – and amazingly funny

RobocopAn unexpectedly funny satire comes largely by the director Paul Verhoevenwho brought the same comedy edge to Starship troops. Verhoeven also went on to direct the famous Showgirls A few years after RobocopBut even that film has found their audience decades later thanks to the director’s signature touch. The predecessor of Robocop, the ED-209, is particularly funny because it is ineffective and immediately appalling.
The most striking aspect on Robocop is that the film has really funny moments without ever becoming a farce or self-paring. For example, Kurtwood SmithClarence Boddicker has some very funny lines, but Smith also gives his character a real sense of threat. Boddicker also personally murdered Murphy in the most extreme way possible.
Even Robocop himself gets an unexpected laugh when he uses his targeting system to shoot a prospective abuser in the genitals. The scene is not played for comedy, yet it is still funny. Many RobocopThe largest comed pieces in the Faux-TV pictures intertwine throughout the film. Those moments give the audience a chance to laugh and break the tension before the film throws them back to one of the largest sci-fi flicks ever made.
Robocop streaming on Max Until June 30. 2014 Robocop A film also leaves Max on June 30, but that film fundamentally misunderstood why the original was so great.
