I rewatched this last night so I’ll copy and paste my letterboxd review from when I watched it four years ago.

Peter Weller, John Lithgow, Clancy Brown, Jeff Goldblum, Christopher Lloyd, and Ellen Barkin. How can you go wrong with a cast like that?

A fun movie with a great cast and a cool end credits sequence.

You really can’t go with wrong with a cast like that. This is still a fun movie and it still holds up well. I remember the first time I watched it a friend showed it to me and I never forgot about it.

4 stars out of 5.

I don't quite know where to start with this one.

Well, I guess I do. I hadn't seen this in my 40 years on this planet, and knew nothing about it. I pride myself on being a bit of a geek but for whatever reason it just hasn't cut through to me. The movie apparently opened in the US two weeks after I was born.

With the quintessential eighties synthwave over the opening credits, I was getting more and more excited with each cast name. Weller, Goldblum, Lithgow, Lloyd, Clancy Brown. Great cast. The "star wars text scroll" promised a lot too. A neuro surgeon who learned martial arts? Sign me up.

But the excitement was short-lived. I found the film so schizophrenic, bouncing around so much it failed to really capture my attention. I felt like it was trying to be ALL THE SCI-FI! The cast was committed, but I found nothing to root for. Bucky has no character flaws. He's nice. He's kind. He's a neuro surgeon. He can fire a gun. He's a musician. He's got the president on speed dial.

I know the movie inspired spin offs of comics and novels, but actually feel like it would have been better the other day around. Like it should have been a series of comics and then produced a spin off movie .I feel if I had seen this when I was ten, I would love it, and it would be a cult favourite of mine. But at 40 it's just doesn't, personally, stand up for me.

Lithgow the standout performer for me and has shades of his Dick character from third rock. Peter Weller I found so wooden, it suddenly made sense why he was cast as RoboCop.

4/10
