Robocop (2014)

[slipknotpredator]

So lame... I can´t believe this movie is called Robocop.

Just more cashing in on an old franchise, Hollywood garbage. It will make a boat load at the box office and in the toy line probably...

i'd be more interested with hobocop if they made it.

don't see why everyone is throwing it in the toilet already.

Cuz that looks like crap? We should throw it at Abraham's / Newman's / Zetumer's face.

his toy gun looks much better than *** hand jack's.

I had a lot of background noise while I played that clip but didn't Oldman say that the drones were firing some sort of EMP rounds that would "disable everything except his life support and put him in more pain than he's ever felt?" So he's not dodging regular bullets, he's evading something else.

REGARDLESS, I too have tried to be optimistic that this film will at the very least be a fun "cyborg cop" movie that I could completely disconnect from the original but ugh, that whole thing just reminded me of the idiotic training montage in the PIT from GI Joe: Rise of Cobra. All of it. Might as well have been Channing Tatum trying on his accelerator suit and cracking jokes while showing us how awesome he is. I think a huge part of RoboCop being engaging is how sympathetic and tragic he is. He seemed so cocky and casual and "human" in that clip.

Peter Weller sitting in a chair and looking at a *pencil* was a more badass display of his prowess than this!

**** yes to part in bold. How weird is that.

Because they think this movie is offensive to the 1987 Robocop movie. I understand that Robocop is a popular character that many people hold dear. I really like the original movie. However I don't agree with the popular view that this new movie disrespects the original in some way, as it's just trying to be its own movie and it's not trying to force itself as a 'better' version of the character at all. Just an alternative. You can argue whether or not a new version was neccessary (there are valid points for both arguments), but the fact remains nobody is forcing anybody to see this, it's just a new take on the character. The '87 version will always be there for you if you want it. This new movie doesn't take that away.

This is true and its pretty much how I've been looking at it but that clip still blew chunks and makes you wonder how good the rest of the film can be. The music alone was awful and IMO 'camp'

Where the hell did the "Robo" from "Robocop" go? Because there's none in that clip.

Exactly, as Khev said, he was so cocky and human. Everything that's ever been said, looks like what it is, a guy in a fake suit of armour. There's nothing robotic about him. Not how he looks, not how he acts.

It was weird hearing someone call him Alex.

Up and down visor is reason enough to skip this.

Jigsaw Batsuits and Virtual Boy visors are the new trend.

Reminds me of when I was a kid and everyone would pull down the mesh lining inside the front of a baseball cap to make a visor covering their eyes

We thought we looked so cool

They clearly thought that Batman's DK suit plus Iron Man's flip up mask was a combination that couldn't fail.

If we're lucky they'll go back to the original and replace the original suit with this masterpiece.

Hot Toys could certainly kill many birds with one stone with that thing.

Whenever it's flipped up, he looks like he's going to go snorkeling

I'd be more anxious to see this instead.

Looks like Robo Microphone or Robo Dildo.

If Robo Dildo talked:

"Come quietly or there will be... trouble."
