Customer Reviews of Robocop - Prime Directives - Crash And Burn/Dark Justice/Resurrection/Meltdown (4 Pack)
Too long, Too expensive They don't sell this 4 pack in Borders. And when I was at Borders to check for a pre-order, they sold this in 4 separate DVDs for 20 dollars each. Why spend 80 dollars for this movie? And it's 8 hours long. That is a day's worth of watching this miniseries. Bad movie!
RoboCop, RoboCop, RoboCop and More RoboCop
Supposedly RoboCop Prime Directives was originally a TV miniseries released in 2001. I'm not sure where it aired, but each episode is feature film length and the violence/language varies from PG to R rated material.

>The series includes Dark Justice, Meltdown, Resurrection, and Crash and Burn...and the movies should be watched in that order for them to make sense.

<
>Page Fletcher (from HBO's The Hitchhiker) stars as RoboCop. He does about as good a job as Robert John Burke did in RoboCop 3. In fact, the whole Prime Directives series is on par with RoboCop 3...and that's not a compliment. It's not really a knock either. It's a declaration that Prime Directives is an average sequel-set to what were two great initial RoboCop films (RoboCop and RoboCop 2).

<
>Prime Directives takes place ten years after the first RoboCop. Alex Murphy/RoboCop is no longer needed in Delta City and is now considered a nuisance by OCP. John Cable, Alex Murphy's former partner, is killed and brought back as a new RoboCop and is instructed to destroy Murphy/RoboCop.

<
>OCP is now in the hands of corrupt executives (one is a malevolent new CEO, one is Cable/RoboCop's ex-wife and one is Murphy/RoboCop's own son) and they have a new technology called SAINT that they will use to run the city and market to consumers "to make all of your decisions for you". But there is a terrorist that wants to infect SAINT with a computer virus that could take down all computers on the net and release a deadly nanotechlogy into humans.

<
>All 4 episodes run apx 90 minutes each, so we're talking about 6 hours of 3-star RoboCop. So if you've got a rainy day and a craving for RoboCop, this series is for you.

<
>As of this writing, the series is available as a set only from Amazon resellers, and the set is about 1/2 the price of buying all 4 separately. But Prime Directives is far from collector caliber, so I'd recommend just finding these to rent, and keep the viewing order that I mentioned earlier in mind.

Sweet! Lots of great action......
They did up Robocop. These were a real blast to watch! Great acting, incredible music and way out there special effects! Each movie is about 90 minutes or so, and they all connect in story-line from start to finish. They can stand alone, but it's much more fun to watch them in order. A lot less gore, and cursing than was in the original Robocop movie, which was R rated. This is a lot more family friendly. Still a bit on the adult side though, getting a PG-13. A wonderful cast of people really fill the shoes well and are great at working together. They add some characters to give the series its' own life. Murphy has a buddy who is also a Robocop. This guy keeps giving Murphy trouble. But, there is a kindred spirit kind of connection. The good-guy Murphy just can't and wont give up on the guy. No matter what. Any fan of Robocop should give this a try. But, if you're not a fan, i believe you'll still love the sci-fi action. But, know that these movies in this set are not entirely representative of the original first 3 movies. The earlier movies are far more edgy. But, even without the gratuitous gore , Robocop still stands as incredible entertainment. ENJOY!
