Wow. This is a toughie. Two of my fave sci-fi flicks. Having just watched the new T2 Blu-ray, it reignited my love for the movie. T2 it is then!

These movies are in different leagues. Robo's good, but....

Terminator 2, hands down.

Good matchup...Terminator 2: Judgment Day resonates a bit more with me, so it's my pick here. RoboCop is also quite good, though.

Terminator 2 lacks Robocop's campy, over-the-top violence, and the plot is Philip K. Dick for 5 year olds. Robocop is over 100 films above T2 for me, glancing at my list.

Revisited RoboCop today for the first time since I was a little kid and it made me feel like a little kid again while watching it. T2 is a great action film but feels a little too drawn out at times. RoboCop is an almost perfectly paced film that goes by in a flash. It wins for me.

Gotta go T2 as of now...but this will always be a close one.

RoboCop is the winner for now, but it's close.

Man, I love RoboCop, but I enjoyed Terminator 2 just a tiny bit more.

Going with T2

RoboCop was surprisingly savvy and, where it needed to be, emotionally resonant. That said, Terminator 2 still did everything that RoboCop did better, and then some.

Damn, this could really change depending on the day. T2 is an absolute classic. They both are, but I'm feeling Robocop in this moment. (I need to watch both of them back to back and see.)
