Robocop or The Terminator? (Read post #1)

Terminator was far better. So much better. Robocops opening was gripping though.
 
Many will say Terminator, but Robocop was better for me.

Terminator 2 however was better than Robocop.

This sums up my opinion as well. I would also like to add that Robocop 2 also is better than Terminator imo, and I think I might even like it better than Robocop. But T2 is better than all of them.
 
Without T2, T1 would be largely forgotten. It really is a zombie movie that has been done a million times already. A hero protects a damsel from an unkillable demon/
zombie/robot. It is good but it is hard to watch in comparison to T2. Robocop is a campy movie that plays on cynicism and the downward spiral of society. The plot is more original and interesting inmho as well. Most of the time, I think I would rather watch Robocop over T1. T2 though is way way better than both.
 
I still quote Robocop to this day with "I'll buy that for a dollar" and in Robocop voice "Drop it".
 
"Can you fly Bobby?" "Bitches leave." Terminator by a hair.
 
Terminator was an A+ movie. Robocop was an A-.

Without Boddicker RC is just an ok movie, imo.
 
jesus christ, i'm shocked this isn't unanimous for T1. I don't even like Robocop when comparing it to nothing, let alone one of the most intense movies ever.
 
Without T2, T1 would be largely forgotten.

depends on how old you are i guess. I saw T1 before T2 came out and it had a lasting impact on me. I've always preferred T1.

T2 was made for a reason. T1 was a bad ass fucking movie that people liked.
 
Both were fun films to watch and I give the edge to Terminator based on to me it being a little more tense and Arnold being most menacing as the unstoppable machine.
 
Robocop over Terminator lol WTF

The directors arent even close

Robocop action script director, screen play score have nothing on Terminator 1
 
Honestly though, how many people read post #1 ITT?
 
Robocop is one my all time favs. It's rooted in a realistic context whereas Terminator is a rather impossible scenario
 
Dead or alive you are coming with me > I'll be back.
