After seeing the trailer, I won't be going to the cinema to watch this one.:shifty:

One good positive aspect of this thread and posts after the trailer come out is, I want to see Robocop and Robocop 2 again! Lets see were the DVD is and relax during the afternoon with good movies! :woot:

Fun Robocop fact, a friend of a friend of mine had Peter Weller as a teacher in Syracuse.

Peter Weller is actually a brilliant man.

The biggest mistake they made was replacing him. Robocop 3 sucked.

It's like Micheal Ironside not playing Sam Fisher in Splinter cell games (grunts at Blacklist)

Considering the state of remakes lately, Uhh, wow, oh boy...

I am sure the call of duty generation will enjoy it. But in the grand scheme of things it will be a fart in the wind, crappy remake, because remaking, and reinventing a franchise is easier and cheaper in Hollywood, than an original idea.

Disgusting, the re- make mania has taken over.

Get Netflix, watch the originals. Yechhhh remakes are money grabs, and disrespectful.

that is the same recycled suits they used in the GI-Joe movie

cant they just come up with something original for a change?

They tried but it just didn't look right.

Something is screwy here. In the original there was the struggle between man and machine as one. Directive, etc. This remake seems to have that as noted in the trailer. However, as you pointed out, Murphy's wife is told he has died in the line of duty in the original. Murphy started having flashbacks. Reconnecting with his wife in the original never occurred that I recall. This movie he does? Speaks with his son? I don't know, perhaps this is how they wish to finish the story. It does lose that tragic life aspect IMO.

From what I can tell, it looks like the theme has shifted to "bad corporation controls man in the robot", (boring) instead of the original's "fight crime with Robocop and get revenge".

This guy's history is a little shaky, too :haha:

Say you look at a controversial war thing, like the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. At the end of the day, somebody ordered the bomb, in that case Eisenhower. So you can judge Eisenhower.

But, with Michael Keaton, I'm all in. Still looks like it will be pretty entertaining.

Looks very similar to Iron Man.

I think I will wait until it comes out on DvD and not rent it. :nope:

Doesn't that mean you'll have to make a purchase?

actually I think with that kind of guys on board, this movie might not be what the original Robocop was, but it might be one hell of a movie. I'm actually looking forward to this.

I agree because let's face it, the original Robocop was pretty bad lol. I watch it as an adult and I laugh a bit.

If that thing has a gag, I might invest in one for my wife!

Christ, I hope she doesn't read this or it's :dead: for me.
