    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.

    Didn't the first one flirt with an x rating because of the violence?

    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.

    I knew this was going to happen as soon as I saw the preview.
