I had to tap out before they were even done with the first film. Might try to finish later.

Maybe I really am just outgrowing RLM?

I think the guys have outgrown themselves. They're just going through the motions at this point releasing their usual low-effort content. There are no more storylines; no more Plinkett Reviews; no more unique skits like the Nerd Crew or Science Man. They don't even bother with BotW gimmicks like Plinketto any longer. Mike's lame lists are the most unique thing they do these days.

Which it's fine. The guys are just getting older and don't have the creative and physical energy they had back in their early 30s. I still enjoy watching them. They haven't become irritating like so many other YouTubers do over time, and I'm guaranteed to get at least a chuckle or two from anything they release.

Actually they still do BoTW gimmicks, just not Black Spine Junka.

@xXx: State of the Union Eh, try watching the video again, I mean one movie has a Cameo of the MacNamera Brothers and the other movie has freaking Ray Parker Jr. Just beware of the bearfat Cameo at the end.

Pretty low energy on that one. Livens up a little as it goes thankfully. Collin hints that it should've been Jay in this instead of Mike, and I agree. Mike had some good Star Trek refs though, but this seems more of a Jay type movie to go over.

Mike did not seem overly enthused to do this one, this is about as low energy as I've seen him in a re:view. I don't think he dislikes Colin but I get the feeling he'd have rather done this one with Rich, or someone more mellow.

If I'm being honest, RoboCop 2 has the same exact problem as Predator 2 in a way that the people who made it were trying too hard to top what made the predecessor good by throwing in immature humor and more ultraviolence, but missed the point of what made said predecessor actually good in the first place.

One of Robocop 2's problems is that it feels rather mean spirited, as if it enjoys watching innocent people being gunned down, something the original never did despite the massive levels of violence. The child villain is a really odd choice as well, he acts like a complete psychopath throughout, yet the film suddenly expects you to feel sympathy for him as he's dying. There could have been an interesting message there, but instead it feels like they did it for the shock value.
