Great Film overall

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

RoboCop doesn't even compare to the original 1987 classic, and the sad thing is that this film lacks the original's satirical edge and humor. It's a movie made in a 2010s Hollywood risk-free environment directed by Jose Padilla who had too much respect for Paul Verhoeven's original that he had to rephrase any and all criticism he had for THIS movie. RoboCop 2014 lacks RoboCop 1987's teeth; it almost feels like it has none at all.I love the updated look first of all: it truly is great how they sleeked everything up to speed with post-2012 technologies and such, though the characterization, the lack of over-the-top violence and thuggery is something the remake desperately needed in order to measure to RoboCop's original '80s brilliance. Sadly the remake fell short because Padilla couldn't experiment enough; he was a dog on the Hollywood-executive leash and couldn't bite back once. Joel Kinnamen does bring some depth to Alex Murphy's character, but the guy's like a bunny-rabbit compared to Peter Weller's hardened veteran-cop but caring family man look that made him such a paradoxically awesome character in the original.Overall, this is a nice visual redo that unfortunately lacks the substance of its source.

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.

I went into thins thinking I'm not sure we need this remake to begin with as the original 80's movie stands up fine and is still such a classic...and I was right New Robocop is just another soulless CGI fest with way too many shoot-um-up scenes, giant robots, video game style action and missing all the emotion and campiness of the original. Joel Kinnaman, I like him but he is lost here as Murphy -a cop resurrected as a crime fighting cyborg whose past life makes him question his corrupt corporate overlords, as he also seeks justice against the criminals that attacked him.Even during his horrifying physical transformation, which leaves him mostly cyborg, I didn't get the feels. I also didn't like how they changed the storyline and had him getting injured in an explosion and then his wife signing him over to Omnicorp In the original the scene that has always stayed with me is Peter Weller getting shot multiple times, getting his arm blown off and his heartache after he is "robocoped" that his wife thinks he's dead and he knows he can't go back to her, ever. This also has me bored with too many endless shoot um up scenes that just went on and on.Ultimately I was disappointed but no more than I expected. Even if I try to take this reboot on its own merits and forget about the original its just not a great movie.

This must be the worst RoboCop movie in my opinion, and it has nothing to do with nostalgia because I am not even from that time.The movie starts with a little shooting, which is fine because I don't want to start the movie with a lot of shooting and violence or gore. The story has to build itself up a little.What I did not like is that it took so long that it had some action in it again. After Alex Murphy survives the explosion the next 30 minutes is about how they are building him and him learning to accept it.After this it goes into some boring shooting simulation against another robot, and Alex fails. Then they again go into enhancing him.He now has "Battle Mode". When he is not fighting crime he is Alex Murphy and acts like a human, but when he is engaged in battle the machine takes over and now he RoboCop.Now I did like that he was not slow and so robot like when he moves like the original RoboCop. This one can run, jump and move more freely all together. However when he is just walking he does not feel natural but like a robot just like the original RoboCop. Because he can do all those other things it is bugging me that he walks like that.Since I am already referring to the original RoboCop I will also say that I do not like the new design. The original looked so good and it was much more simple than the new one, the new one looks to advanced for my taste. And he color black was unappealing to me. In RoboCop 3 Alex had that machine-gun arm and his standard gun hidden inside his leg. That machine-gun arm was awesome and it felt like an upgrade exclusive to him. The new RoboCop also has the standard gun but next to that hes uses normal weapons the humans would also be able to use.However, despite all what I have said the movie gets very interesting in the last 20 minutes. Although it is short I will give it a chance.Him finding out who is behind everything and the shooting and the driving is all interesting. He also defied the protocol and what was called "Directive 4:Do not oppose OCP officers" at the end.There are also reasons why the action is stupid. RoboCop just walks in the middle and when he screws up he gets showered with bullets. Because he acts like this he kills the last man but also gets destroyed as he was already damaged. Then we see him being repaired AGAIN.Lets talk about references to the original RoboCop. I wont be talking about things like his gun because this movie is of course a reboot (remake) of the original movie. The only thing that made me think of the original is when someone said "I wouldn't buy that for a dollar" referring to one of the many commercials that the original first 3 movies had. That is what this movie also lacks, the humor that the originals had. The commercials were a funny comedic relief, in this movie it is not only that the commercials are not there, I didn't laugh a single time during this movie.Now to sum it up: According to me this movie is crap for the most part and the worst RoboCop movie yet
