Hollywood really is running out of ideas...

RoboCop (1987) with Peter Weller will always be my favorite.

#1 reason this movie will suck

Samuel L Jackson with a toupee.

What the f**k? This is a movie that didn't need to be remade. Ever.

thanks for the trailer,was wondering what happened to this .  It was in the works and then dropped off the radar for  some reason.

Uumm... No. Just no!

At least his wife has a terrific rack..

You know, it will never measure up . . . but I will probably watch it anyway.

Incidentally, Peter Weller's "death" scene in the original Robocop is one of the most brutal shootings ever staged on film.

And if you watch it, you're just encouraging crap like this. A car bomb does him in now. That's f**king lame.

nah, not really... remakes seem to be the dead cert moneyspinner these days. if a bunch of righteous movie lovers decided to shun them on principle, nothing would change. they'd still get made, and just as badly

that said, I agree Robocop original cannot be topped. no matter how many bucks they throw at this remake

Well, that doesn't look nearly as good as the original. 

I'm not going to say it's all bad.  There's a few good ideas I saw here and there, but it seems to lack the over the top brutal reality feel that made the first so good.  This one is just too clean, even during the riot attacks. 

I actually liked the update to the original suit and thought that worked, but they slim it down and make it into another generic black outfit. 

I might see this once it hits the dollar theater where I live, but no way am I wasting money seeing this when it first comes out. 

I find it better that some would shun this kind of garbage, even if nothing happens, rather than resort to apathy.

This is a forum for BAD movies.
This looks to be a bad movie.
Of course some of our members are going to see it!

He'll buy that for a dollar!

I can't belive nobody used that joke on this topic yet. :wink:

Got tons I could say that other probably will.

However, does anyone else think the human hand looks kinda lame? It kind sticks out and makes it look cheap.

IMO the human hand was a BAD idea... yes, it looks cheap.

I showed the trailer to my 10 year old, his response was "it looks OK, but they're kinda ripping off Iron Man." :bouncegiggle:

Antonowsky: Rgggrrr! Heeeelppp!... blaaaaaaaa..................

Nash: AHhhhhhhh! GET THE HELL OFF ME!.........

 I know they thought it was a good idea; somebody said "Hey that movie's got a cool story but the special effects are really bad, we can improve on that so much!"
 
But there is no improving on this:

Except that Robocop's special effects are really good.

The human hands look *really* tacky. And more importantly, I've got a strong feeling this POS will have none of the intelligence of the original.

Rule #1 of remakes: If the original was already well done, you should probably leave well enough alone.

Is that a new rule?  Because it doesn't seem to have applied to any of the remakes from the last 20 or so years.

Please stop this movie!  You have twenty seconds to comply!

My first encounter with Robocop was in the cinema, during the original theatrical release in Australia.  It was fairly edited, with the 'important' parts cut out of the shooting, and the ED-209 malfunction, and even then it was quite harsh for a young teenager to see.  When I saw the orginal version later, I was shocked at how brutal it was.

My favourite part of the whole movie, however, is ED-209 in the boardroom.  Best scene ever.

If it isn't, then it is now.

Low hopes on this one, from the looks of the trailer a lot of the sub-text will be gone and they're smoothing out all the interesting creative choices, making it into a bland corporate product.  Almost clever, really, if it were deliberate.

That said, the one thing that might make it watchable is the director.  It's Jose Padilha, who did the quite solid Brazilian cop flicks, Elite Squad and its sequel.  I suspect the producers are heavily controlling the creative decisions though.  Shame.

Well the original was wild I didn't mind part 2 either.  I will watch this one only because of Michael Keaton and the effects.  Maybe I will like it I don't know it's way too soon to tell yet. i don know I don't like him keeping the real hand .

Wrote me a blog about the forthcoming Robo-Remake this week. Am I lookin' forward to it? Mmmm.... nah, not really.  :teddyr:

Yep, they tried their damnedest to cross him over into more kid-friendly media but none of it truly caught on....
