Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

felipemndza What an awesome film I just saw, I'm not hardcore fan of the original Robocop, so I don't have any prejudice on this film. I heard it was awful and believe it and did not watch it until now 2018, I regret taking so long. It is amazing story, well executed, pretty solid movie, flawless. Even the black color has its purpose, he looks cooler, and he wore black while he was being manipulated by omnicorp, that represents the black, in the beginning and in the end he switched back to silver, the color he was meant to be how he meant to be, but Omnicorp prevent that from happening. The story of him as a father is magnificent. In the 80s people used to think the future will be more aggressive, well, guess what? We are in the future and the future is not agresive, so yeah he uses a teaser that's the world we actually live in, face it. Pretty awesome movie.

Gavin Purtell I went into the 'RoboCop' reboot with fond, but not very vivid, memories of the original, seeing as it came out when I was 2! I do remember having a RoboCop figurine that I used to play with as a kid. And this new film does a good job of making him look both new and futuristic, but also similar enough to the original that old fans won't be disappointed - he's silver for about a third of the film and black for the rest.In terms of story, it's pretty straight forward - Detective Alex Murphy (Kinnaman) is almost killed, is turned into a cyborg and then tracks down the bad guys in Detroit. Sure, there's a little more to it than that - is he more man, or machine? Does he still have a conscience/soul? And does it matter if he's good at his job?There's some decent action, but a lot of shaky/fast camera work that doesn't always help the action scenes. It feels longer than it should and doesn't have the best ending. Oldman and Keaton are good, but it's hard to feel any real connection to Murphy and his wife (Cornish), as you never spend any real time with them.

tstudstrup I'm watching "Robocop", witch is not Robocop for the second time. Just to see if it is really as bad as I recall it, watching it the first time.And I still don't like it.Despite better effects and a more robot-like Robocop, the original still prevails.Here is why.First of all Joel Kinnaman is no Peter Weller. In the original, despite only 15 minutes or so as a human, Weller created a very likable Alex Murphy. Kinnaman can't create a likable Murphy. He comes off too much like a tough guy and a smart-ass. Murphys death in the real Robocop movie is to the date still a very hard scene to watch. And the evil sadistic Clarence Boddicker (brilliantly played by Kurtwood Smith) and his ditto gang are to this date still awesome bad-guys. And when Robocop remembers its an absolute delight to watch him kill every member of the gang one by one.In this "Robocop" movie Murphy is almost killed by a car-bomb. A pg13 death that don't hold the impact from the brutal R-rated slaying in the original movie. And I still don't like the new Murphy, nor do I care what happens to him either. That is a clear sign that the movie isn't working at all.And of course because "Robocop" is PG13, there is no blood whenever someone dies, no Boddicker, no Dick Jones (awesome Ronny Cox) no Bob Morton(awesome Miguel Ferrer) or any other bad-guys, just a Fallon whats his face and a Dennet Norton (Bob Morton get it?) "Robocop" has no drive or motivation to go on living as a machine. In the real Robocop movie he had revenge that pushed him forward. The CGI version of ED-209 that, like OCP has a different name, moves exactly like the much more menacing stop-motion-robot in the original. So what's the point? Much like the rest of the movie.They spend a lot of time letting "Robocop" go through the motions with his new robot-body and showing how he is made. And running simulation programs where he fights other robots. Again probably the rating. Had it been rated R, he would have been send out on the streets right away killing bad-guys, because that's what the real Robocop does.And what's with all that crap with his wife and son? Who cares? Like he could ever have a life with them again after his transformation. In the real Robocop movie they wiped his memory and he barely remembered them and that worked really well. There was not a single scene with Murphy together with his wife and son. And yet we felt Robocops pain (now that is good acting from Peter Weller) Seeing the new "Robocop" cry as he talks to his wife on a Skype like connection made me wanna puke.And all the satire and humor of the real Robocop movie is gone here. Instead we have a movie that takes it self way too seriously and the action-scenes feels like they were shot and directed by a teenager.Avoid this crap. Even if you've never seen the real Robocop movie from 1987 and you were born later and it seems outdated I guarantee that you will still prefer that to this crap.

Parker Lewis I really wanted to like RoboCop (2014), but maybe I was unfairly comparing it to the original which was entertaining, prescient and insightful. I know this reboot wanted to do things differently, and fair enough, but for instance RoboCop still keeping in contact with his wife and son (unlike the original) somehow took away the poignancy of Murphy.Maybe the reboot will appeal to people who haven't seen the original, and that's fine, that's okay. But the reboot seemed to be by the numbers, and it would have been better off as a TV mini-series or something like that.
