Flawed but basically interesting
Robot Jox tries hard, but is fundamentally a series of fight scenes strung together — robot against robot, man against man, man against woman. The premise had potential, but it seems the script wasn’t really given the couple of more drafts it needed. Still, it was fairly good, for a science fiction action movie. Part of it was because the script was by Joe Haldeman. For those who aren’t familiar with the name, Haldeman wrote the award-winning science fiction novel “The Forever War.” It’s considered one of the very best powered battle armor novels, right up there with Robert Heinlein’s “Starship Troopers” and John Steakley’s “Armor.” And this movie is really more like a giant powered battle armor movie, rather than giant robots. It’s closer to what fans would have wanted instead of the travesty that was Paul Verhoeven’s “Starship Troopers,” which bore only a passing resemblance to the novel it was based on.

Despite some assumptions, this really isn’t based on Homer’s “Iliad.” A couple of names are all they had in common. Achilles having his robot’s foot blown off had no parallel in the Iliad, which didn’t include Achilles’ death. Nor was the ancient Achilles a noble warrior. He was the mightiest, but also vengeful and petty. Even the robot jock killed off in the first scene doesn’t fit. He was named Hercules, while the Greek Iliad would have had Herakles.

The effects were fairly good for the time and the budget. True, it wasn’t comparable to “Terminator 2” a year later, but that movie cost ten times as much. The stop motion was almost as good as the robotic walkers in “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi.” Better, in fact, than a lot of Ray Harryhausen animation, which is highly regarded, but quite dated.

Don’t bring high expectations into this and you probably won’t be disappointed. It’s better than a lot of other low-budget flicks and even some big-budget blockbuster wannabes that have better effects but far worse scripts.

Crappy sci-fi flick…Corny as it gets
I don’t see how anyone that is an adult can find this movie to be entertaining. It might have worked as a comedy, but it goes in a serious direction but it’s super lame and comedic. And the acting is just plain atrocious and laughable. On the bright side though this movie is only a hour and 24 minutes. There is just so many obvious plot-holes in this movie and the premise is just ridiculous, well at least how this movie executed it all. This movie can get more corny than the Power Rangers and the special effects is even worse. You can literally tell it’s robot action figures on screen that duke it out. Even the fight sequences is so cheesy and super choreographed to the point it almost unbearable to watch. This is one of those movies you pop in and nit pick it to death and constantly bash on it while watching, at least than you can get some amusement out of it. Cause sometimes this movie is so bad it can get slightly funny. One of the female character and another male character looks so similar it can get distracting, I don’t know I guess I really didn’t like that female character in this movie for some reason. I am doing a lousy job of reviewing this movie to some degree cause this movie was lousy and was a waste of time. For a movie that came out in the early 90’s this one could have done better in almost every way. The story is basically about robots fighting in a tournament in the future like gladiators except the fighters use robots to fight each other. Anyways during one of the fight Achilles gets in a fight with a cliché villain and by accident ends up hurting 300 spectators while trying to protect them and he goes on a guilt trip. The cowboy sidekick in this is annoying and the dialogue is just corny…Plain and simple. So yeah I give this movie a 3/10 which is being super generous, cause it’s unintentionally funny sometimes and might get a few chuckles out of it. Watch this movie with movie friends and bash this movie while watching and you might get something out of it. I try to be open-minded but I really can’t understand how anyone can give this movie above a 7. I don’t know if they are trying to stand out or something cause this is obviously a terrible movie. And it isn’t so bad it’s good either, it’s just plain crap.

3/10
