What was turning out to be a smart franchise here loses an edge it never quite recovers.

Dekker's third instalment also comes third in terms of merit.

The movie seems stuck betwixt and between.

Limiting the gore, but not the carnage, in pursuit of a PG-13 rating and more youngsters, pic remains a cluttered, nasty exercise that seems principally intent on selling action figures.

Hard to believe that Frank Miller, who's written some great graphic novels, also churned out this dismal script. The absence of Weller doesn't help matters.

Special effects are OK and RoboCop even gets to fly, using a specially designed jetpack. But it's all for naught, as this series has run out of fresh ideas.

...at the very least, Robocop 3 works as a popcorn movie - something part two couldn't even manage.

If you really want more RoboCop, rent the video of the first movie.

This installment goes for straight action, allowing only brief instances of the facetiousness which made the original so enjoyable.

All of the humanity of the first movie and what little there was in the second movie are drained from RoboCop 3.

A pretty illogical plot, uninteresting characters and so-so effects are sure to keep this one a snoozer.
