Thirteen years after the original Robocop, Delta City, considered to be "The Safest Place On Earth!", has become a futuristic city owned and operated by OCP, and RoboCop, Alex Murphy has begun to feel his age. Murphy finds himself nearly obsolete, and must deal with the fact that his now-grown son James is an OCP executive, unaware that his father is still alive. Also, Murphy's former partner, John Cable, has returned to Delta City as its new Security Commander. But slowly, new enemies arise, and Murphy and Cable begin an investigation into a mysterious villain known as the Bone Machine, unaware that they are coming dangerously close to exposing an evil group of OCP executives known as The Trust... which James Murphy is a part of. Desperate to prevent their sinister plans from being revealed, The Trust programs Murphy to kill John Cable...

Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
The Only gripes I Have with This Is One, The Robocop Suit Appearntly Doesn't Fit Fletcher Page (His Chin doesn't Fill Out the Helmet's Lower Part,And The Hands Look More like Gloves) And,The Story Is a Little too long; However,If You Can Get Past That And Follow the Story Closely, It's Pretty good!I Liked The Part Of 'ROBOCABLE' Which I Think Really Gave Robocop A Capable Partner; And, It was Smart Thinking For Murphy To Be Able to Re-Connect With His Son; The 'Stealth Accelerator' Mode Used by the Rebels Was a Little Cheesy; Cable's Ex-Wife Was devious, But Oh,So Smoking HOT!I Think It Does deserve a Place In The History Of This Sci-Fi Icon; GO ROBO!
I actually worked on this abortion for most of 1999. I can't say there is any aspect of it I am particularly proud of, it was like a bad dream. The only redeeming factor is my cheques didn't bounce!Has this Epic Masterpiece actually made it onto DVD? Usually the Space Channel or CITY-TV (co-funders) play it in the wee hours of the morning. I may look around for it in the remainder bins or second-hand stores and re-gift it next Christmas to a company person I especially despise.My condolences go out to the beleaguered editing team (Chuck Kahn, I love you buddy!) and those poor underpaid folks at the post-house Stargate Studios (no relation to the SF series)in Toronto who had to put up with the director (anyone with really long hair who wears a full length black leather jacket and white running shoes has a fashion problem, ya know?)fuming at them and making endless changes for no $... eh...you get the picture, typical bottom-feeder stuff.The music score is mariachi music. It's ridiculous and rings completely false, like John Cable's moustache which looks like it might fall off and be inhaled at any moment.Oh yes, about the SPOILER: it could be called Brokeback Robo in a way, the two RoboClutzes shamble off into the good night. We all should do the same and avoid, AVOID, A-V-O-I-D this bland uninspired dreck."Brought to you by fans of the original" indeed. Meh.
After suffering through the miscarriage that was Robocop 2 and the complete comic book homage that was Robocop 3, it was good to see that the writers of the original finally put Robocop down once and for all.While the story seems a bit on the goofy side, it's important to remember that the whole premise of Robocop is comic bookish to an extent. But it works: Bone Machine, the mysterious invisible people, RoboCable all form a coherent and somehow satisfying end to the Robocop saga. Murphy regains his humanity once again (a plot thread that was always ignored in each Robocop movie) and establishes ties to his son and walks into the sunset. The only fault I can find is that the miniseries is one part too long. If it was cut the miniseries would flow better. But this is a minor flaw.Clearly the best offshoot for Robocop since the original by far.
"Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?"Apart from that, this was a bit disappointing, too cheesy, too TV-ish for my taste. But I guess that these people had to work on a very very tight budget, so I'll cut them some slack. Obviously there were fans of the original 2 movies involved, so I'll give them credit for that as well.I do believe, though, that this would have worked much better as a 2-hour movie, with better casting & visuals instead of standardised TV series fare.
