Sorry, this movie sucks

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I just came across a collection of past and present pop culture characters on a social media site and thought to myself "Wow, there was a Robocob reboot? In 2014? How could I have missed this?" The thing is, I didn't miss it. When I watched the trailer just now on imdb, I vaguely recalled some of the scenes about two thirds in. And isn't that really all you need to know about this remake?

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 am a huge fan of the first Robocop movie and this reboot did a decent job. The action is good, the Computer-generated imagery (CGI) is great. The relationship between detective Murphy and his family feels real and there is good acting involved between the wife, son and Robocop. Now that I am a dad, I can empathize with the situation of a family being torn apart. The man vs machine aspect is thought provoking if you think beyond the movie, especially with AI being a big topic lately. Morality, ethics and science and little we know about the human brain and soul comes into place in this action movie. Corporate greed (Omnicorp) is a perfect example of what we see today.I think this is a great action movie, good cast and I can't believe I missed this in 2014.I hope you enjoy it.Cheers, M

For the older generation, the generation wherein I belong, we will prefer Paul Verhoeven's Robocop. At that time his movie was innovating and fresh. This version isn't bad though and for the generation that never saw the original one they will probably rate it a bit higher than I do. I'm just not a big fan of remakes unless they're done way better. And that's rarely the case. Joel Kinnaman as Robocop is okay though. The movie has the right amount of action and drama to keep you entertained. It's a good sci-fi story. A story that you hope will never come through because the last thing we need is robots taking over the already decreasing job market. And robots deciding what's right or wrong isn't a future I want to live in. So this Robocop is okay to watch once but if I had to chose I would watch the original instead.
