http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/02/05/robocop-review THE VERDICT So while Padilha and his team are to be admired for bringing the concept up-to-date and addressing very real concerns about drones, robotics, and automated warfare, they’ve taken much of the fun out of the concept, making for a po-faced and ultimately somewhat forgettable Robocop movie. 6.9=OKAY While not a patch on the original, there's still much to like in the Robocop remake. RT +Interesting approach to the material +Solid performances +Great special effects – Not enough action – Tame in comparison to the original
They shat on everything the first one was supposed to stand for. Could have been a fantastic remake with what's going on in the world lately, but they fucked it up to try to make more money. As soon as I saw that it was PG-13 I knew it would be shit.
Yeah, it was brutal even then. We won't see that in a movie now when most of them are being made for the PG-13 crowd.
