And mega-conglomerate Omni Consumer Products (OCP) has been hoping to get in on the gravy train by pandering to the Japanese corporation and dispatching its legion of armed forces to evict impoverished tenants.

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.

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

Why do they persist in making these retreads? Because RoboCop is a brand name, I guess, and this is this year's new model. It's an old tradition in Detroit to take an old design and slap on some fresh chrome.

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.

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

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.

No, it's not a good movie. In fact, it's really quite awful, to be honest.

In the latest episode of the series, which seems to have nearly run out of steam, he is portrayed by Robert John Burke, an actor who bears some resemblance to Mr. Weller while lacking his forerunner's tongue-in-cheek glint of authoritarian machismo.
