Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Console best movie i've ever seen.

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

exchronos For years I've searched for this movie only remembering a couple scenes from it, because I always found it on TV right about in the middle, and I'd realize "hey...it's that one movie I like I never get to see all of" and watch the rest of it never even knowing its title...until a couple years ago. I finally was able to watch it from start to finish today, and I must say, it was hilariously bad. Yet they tried to make it good, they had good little details and nice little gags, and the robots are awesome, but there is NO characterization at all. Literally, every character is just an action film stereotype. The acting itself is horrid. The lines border on obnoxious to just plain why on this Earth would anybody say that? Set in 2040, which they eventually get around to after noting a toxic scare in 1993, a weapons/huge killer robot ban in 2015, and some other craziness. There's one big armed robot left, and it looks like a scorpion. It takes tours across the American desert to a modern ghost town (modern as in 1993) so people can see how life was like in the 1990s...when there was still a United States (they call where they're at North Hemi, which I eventually realized was short for Northern Hemisphere...uh huh...yeah right...). The bad guy is an oriental general from the "Eastern Alliance" who takes over the giant robot with the help of "Centros" (pretty much Mexicans, or Latin Americans, you get the picture though...). Then the hero and his sidekick ace mechanic "Stumpy" find a giant robot in good condition buried underneath the supposed 1993 abandoned city...and they fight! Throw in a very incomplete love story, and wondering what happens after the robot fight, like what happens to the hostages that seemed to be running out of air and got tossed like footballs during the big fight, and you've got a great movie to make fun of while watching! Oh yeah, and they never explained how Drake (the hero) knew the villainous General Wally either. I mean, Drake didn't seem to have any quarrels with the General, but the General definitely wanted him dead...for no apparent reason...maybe his "hero sense" was tingling? When you think 1993 you think Jurassic Park, Star Trek The Next Generation had been on for awhile, but when you see this movie, it's like that never happened and we're still in a 1985 rendition of the future...trying to use early 90s slang...seriously, if you like bad movies, this one will give you plenty of ammunition.Sincerely, Exchronos

Boba_Fett1138 This movie doesn't have an awful lot to do with it's predecessor "Robot Jox". This must be also the reason why its most common name is "Robot Wars" and not the alternate name "Robot Jox 2: Robot Wars"."Robot Jox" was basically a fun movie to watch because it had a nice premise of giant robots battling each other in the near future. This concept has been abandoned for this movie and instead it features a totally dull story that besides isn't very original or cleverly written. A shame it tried to be so much different from its predecessor really, for else this perhaps could had been a more fun movie to watch.Just like "Robot Jox" this is a B-movie but with as a big difference that it's just not a very good one. Perhaps this also has to with the fact that "Robot Jox" got made during the '80's, when B-movies still had a certain bit of charm and class over it, even though the movie got released in 1990. This really can't be said about this movie. It's just lame, badly made, poor looking and not exciting enough. It also has an ending which leaves you thinking 'This is it? That's all?'.What the movie its story is lacking is good clear main plot-line really. Perhaps a good main villain would had been a good idea and some other stuff such as an actual point to the story, some action, or likable main characters.Seriously what were they thinking when they picked the actors for this movie. All of them are simply not likable in their roles and especially Don Michael Paul is annoying as the main character, who behaves as if he's God's gift to woman and Mr. Perfect who can compete with anyone. Weren't they even simply able to get the actors from the first movie?For such a futuristic movie, with a concept of having large battle droids in it, this movie surely is lacking with its action. Had they put some more and bigger action into the movie, the movie would at least had been a more entertaining one to watch. Instead now we have a movie that fails to impress in basically every way imaginable.You can better watch a "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers" episode, for some more action and likability.3/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Jange This barely one hour long movie contains a lot of innovative ideas, such as a gigantic passenger-carrying robotic spider. Creative camera work in the passenger compartment of the spider really conveys a feeling of motion. The music is another pleasant surprise, as these types of films often lack considerably in that area. Considering the budget, which was slim, it should be considered an impressive production on the whole. The dialog is the weak spot, lacking the humour of its predecessor Robot Jox. Most of the acting is somewhat lame, partly due to the lack of dramatic build-ups. (Actually, creating drama seems to be a problem in general for the imaginative director Albert Band). The special effects are good, but in the spirit of the eighties. I think David Allen, who made them, is a genius, able to create satisfactory effects from virtually no budget. Anyway, this film is well worth a look for true sci-fi freaks. Only.
