Movie Review: RoboCop (1987)

While the horror lover in me sees the 1980's as the golden era of the slasher, giving us so many movies starring the likes of Michael, Jason, Freddy, Pinhead, among others, the movie lover in me sees a bigger picture. In addition to horror, it was a great era for action movies, think about the movies that came out during the decade. Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Predator, Aliens, Rambo, Beverly Hills Cop, Terminator, Raiders of the Lost Arc, The Road Warrior, the list goes on and on. With so many great action flicks, it is impossible to pick a favorite, and I am not sure I ever could. However, I have picked one to focus on with this review, and if you read the title, you know which one, none other than RoboCop.
