	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"The movie's screenplay is a confusion of half-baked and unfinished ideas (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Mark Cooper Empire	"'Robocop 2' replaces the inspiration and sharp intelligence of the original with decidedly tired routines that never amount to much more than standard formula bang-and-crash stuff (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Ty Burr Entertainment Weekly	"[It] slavishly imitates its original to the point of self-parody."	NEG
United States	Variety	"This ultraviolent, nihilistic sequel has enough technical dazzle to impress hardware fans, but obviously no one in the Orion front office told filmmakers that less is more"	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"It’s difficult to imagine a summer film programmed more cynically than this repugnant sequel"	NEG
United States	Peter Rainer Los Angeles Times	"[It] tries for some 'heart' early on, but there’s no conviction in it. There’s confusion, though"	NEG
United Kingdom	Time Out	"[It] is every bit as messy as a dog's breakfast (...) It doesn't have very much of is the original's energy, passion and remorseless narrative logic"	NEG
United Kingdom	John Ferguson Radio Times	"[An] efficient but rather empty retread of the original (...) It lacks the gloriously black excess of Paul Verhoeven's first film. Nevertheless, it has proved to be a very serviceable franchise (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
