It's not as good as the original but I wouldn't call it a bad movie in itself, there are much worse sequels to good movies out there (Highlander II, anyone?). Also this scene has always stuck in my mind, something about it is so creepy.

 
I watched Robocop 2 as a kid and it gave me nightmares. Even today, Tom Noonan, who played Cain, freaks me the fuck out when I see him in the occasional arthouse movie like Synecdoche, New York. They could not have picked a freakier looking guy.

Anyway, it works okay as grindhouse schlock, but as a sequel to one of the low-key smartest and best-written movies ever made, it's a piece of shit.
 
His look, the bluer tint to his armor, is the only good thing about 2.

They never know when to quit. I also dislike T2 and think the only good Terminator is the first.
 
I do like the concept of Robocop fighting another super cyborg that's completely addicted to some LSD/PCP like drug.

The execution could have been a little better, but I like the concept enough to where I give it a pass.

I also liked the symbolism of Robocop given all those woke rules to follow like 30 years before BLM/ACAB and he literally electrocutes himself rather than follow them.
