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.

They tried but it just didn't look right.

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".

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.

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

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.

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