Robot Jox (1989)
3/10
Crappy sci-fi flick...Corny as it gets
2 April 2012
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.
