The TRUE Robocop 3?

I mean, it has to be better than we got, right?

I liked the Cyborg Ninja

I'd be down with them making an original robocop 3 game wise, get rid of the dumb ninja bots and put something more robocop like in it.

Hell do what the series did and have him fight an evil robocop.

No.
Robocop 3 is perfectly fine, and this game actually leads up to it explaining OCP CEO change and the whole Rehabilitation project set up, as well as other small things, like why AI Robocops are not a thing, while AI Ninjas are.
If you don't like the 3rd film, it's "a you" problem.
Arm cannon and jet pack are cool as ♥♥♥♥.

Sadly, this is basically Robocop 2.5. They should have made this a sequel to replace Robocop 3.

Best to ignore Robocop 3, frankly - basically the Ewok version of Robocop, and not anything to take seriously.

RoboCop 3 is brilliant if the viewer is adult enough to look past the studio-mandated cartoon crap and appreciate all the cynicism, dark humor and satire on screen...
It's a wonderful sequel, where RoboCop ascends to become the champion of the people, and take down his oppressive mega-corporate masters.

It took liberties it shouldn't have -- but it never devolved into self-parody, and stands a great cap to the trilogy, regardless of its production problems.

But that is all that it is, studio-mandated cartoon crap that was deliberately sanitized and reduced for PG-13 crowds - anything beyond is what you yourself are projecting, and frankly your words are truer for either of the previous Robocop movies, and NOT Robocop 3.

Robocop 3 had good stuff in it. It was mostly the PG-13 rating that ruined it. Storywise it's not that bad movie. Lewis died, that sucked, but otherwise I find it to be quite OK movie.
With better director and better budget, and everything made better, it would be awesome movie.

I don't consider Rogue City canon, as I REALLY, REALLY DISLIKED the final boss. It was my "WTF were they thinking?!" - moment. I would've rather seen Kain resurrected, or Boddicker, or even Frank Fredrikson from the first movie.

Nah, you just are discrediting what's in the film for hyperbole.
This is pure, unadulterated 'RoboCop':

The film is full of this content. Trim out 10 minutes of an annoying kid's antics & a dancing gun -- and you have a great RoboCop film and amazing sequel.

I loved Robocop 3 when I saw it first time in my early teen years. Cyborg ninjas, yes. Robocop upgrading himself with a jetpack and flying to the rescue of the cops, hell yes. I also found it fascinating how he analyzed the three women in his life with their faces morphing one into the other. Stiil vividly remember the fun of seeing some other scenes for the first time like the ninja guy's jaw.

Only later when I learned to "appreciate the art" of moviemaking, after seeing Godfather, The Pianist etc, I understood the difference between the Paul Verhoeven's masterpiece and the rest of the Robocop franchise.

But I still consider it a fun movie. I rewatch it everytime I do a Roboco binge.

My experience is inverse of yours.
I loved 'RoboCop' and enjoyed the sequel.
I actually hated 'Robo3' when I saw it in theaters -- because I was too young to see past the schlock. They had sullied my RoboCop!!

It wasn't until I was full grown -- with my own acumen of art appreciation -- that I found value in the film for its many merits and brand-appropriateness.

'RoboCop' is a rare, perfect film.
'RoboCop 2' is a satirical mess cobbled together by the best sequel-maker of the era.
And 'RoboCop 3', despite its missteps, is objectively better-structured than 'RoboCop 2'.
