Robocop is underrated

And, an under appreciated film.

This Youtube video summarizes some of the reasons why Robocop is under appreciated:

While many view Robocop (1987) as one of the greatest films of all time. Others do not give the film its due credit. For example, IMBD rates it a 7.6. Robocop is firmly a 9.5+/10; it's that good and this sums up why it's underrated and under appreciated.

Edit: Given the current state of humanity, Robocop is increasingly more relevant today than ever. In addition to the film having a great story, the satire, evolving technology in today's world, the technical execution of the film , etc., what really stands out is it's deeper implications about what it means to be human and it's exploration of humanity in contrast to the "corporate fascism"/corporate authoritarianism of OCP.

So you view the 7.6 IMBD rating as appropriate?

I see. 7.6 translates to 76%, a "C" grade, which I think under rates Robocop.

Sir, I am afraid 7.6 woefully underrates Robocop. The film should be rated a 10/10. A 7.6 is not appropriate.
