the warehouse scene was actually cool
Nothing
Teflon Man.
Robocop.
Teflon Man.
Teflon Man.
stay mad
The scene where he is revealed to himself is interesting
Absolutely fricking nothing.
It’s a hamstrung attempt that by all rights had the potential for something solid. But for whatever reason, the studio saw fit to sabotage things from the outset and the result was a homogenous dross starring a scrap of scando driftwood.
Woah calm down. You're like a maiden on her period.
he wasnt wrong though
Go frick yourself, you simpering loser
stfu. let him speak his mind
Nope the warehouse scene was epic
and so is the black suit, makes him look cool
he should have had ninja powers too
The scene where they show what's left of his body was cool. The premise that the computer inside his head could make him do things without him realizing it was cool and probably 100% accurate to what such a thing in your brain could do, and the way the lawmakers responded to having a robot doing policework via the workaround of having it control a human like a puppet was the same.
Very little else was interesting. The plot was boring to the point where you don't give a frick at all. The villain was only there because the movie needed a villain, they made no effort to do anything with him at all; original villains all had entertaining personalities and were well-acted, all the original movie cast did, in the remake everyone's so mellow you barely believe THEY care about what's going on. Even Jackston's overacting seems phoned in. The family plot in the original took up like one scene, here it was a central focus point and you still cared less about it than in the original. Just from "can you do that, dad?" the son had more personality than the entire plot in the remake combined.
Honestly, it's hard to find anything good to say about it except that "it wasn't terrible". But it wasn't good. It was just... meh.
okay but it would have way cooler if he had ninja powers and fought cyborg ninjas and also techno guns and swords like Gantz
So you're saying that the movie would've been better if they made a Jiraya movie instead?
Because I'm right there with you
yes that would be epic
With all the "Shin" movies coming out, and the modern reboots of classic series like Kamen Rider Black Sun, there's hope for a Jiraya revival yet.
That scene is so lifeless they couldn’t even give the man a line resembling something human. He just mumbles “Jesus Christ” over and over. You could practically hear the censor board tapping their feet to it. On top of it,
it’s shot like he’s living in an Apple store. No dramatic lighting, no hint of the body horror in the camera angles. Just flat staging straight out of a comedy.
This movie is absolutely toothless even when it is “trying.”
>This movie is absolutely toothless even when it is “trying.”
It's PG-13, so the main bad guys he shoots are human shaped robots or bipedal mechs. Then when anyone human gets hurt it's typically a flash and then they fall over looking like they're taking a nap.
>epic
You are an easily pleased rodent
project much?
No, actually. You don’t seem to even understand what that word means in this context, you idiot.
keep projecting
I just know what is cool and what is not
>he should have had ninja powers too
put, and that "black suit" was shit
Christ that is moronic.
>How do we stop him?!
>50cal and above
>everyone running around with way below 50cal rifles, even an mp5
>turning out the lights when you know he can see in the dark...
Not just tv movie levels of awfulness, but CANADIAN tv movie levels.
>Not just tv movie levels of awfulness, but CANADIAN tv movie levels.
100 million dollar canadian tv movie is a good description actually.
>starring a scrap of scando driftwood.
breddy accurade
not much.
my favorite was the black guy officer lewis. observing the dynamics of the kosher quota systems always make me laugh.
I remember more of Robocop 3 than the remake
black armor looked like rubber
The new suit. The black prototype look. Some of the action. Jackie Earle Haley.
I sorta like it but I remember the shit 3rd act.
Also Sam Jackson is cool but the it's missing the charm of the borderline satire news segments of the '87.
>borderline satire news
'Borderline'?
They are actual two real world newscasters, and they play it completely straight. A modern film would probably have them ham it up to really sell the "joke".
The originals weren't even that good
Except the villain I remember him
The first was actually a great movie
First is great, second is still solid enough. Third is crap.
>second is still solid enough.
People's nostalgia and the third film being so lame mean people give 2 too much of a pass. It's clearly a mess of a script, combining several drafts into one. That's why some storylines like Murphy's wife arise and then are dispelled immediately. It rehashes plot elements but doesn't give enough focus to them. It goes too far into goofy with kid and women gangsters. It's oddly even more ultra-violent and silly at the same time, which doesn't work.
It's not without merit, as it has some nice stop motion work, and a nice ending climatic fight.
This. I always found the movie a total mess, especially tonally. Like at timed it was as dark as the first and then as cartoon satire like the third movie
>Like at timed it was as dark as the first
It's even darker, edgier, and scarier at times. There's some serious gore with RoboCop 2's creation, and the wholesale slaughter of regular people is more terrifying than anything in 1. Plus there's some memorable shootouts and the sniper getting shot through the scope is pretty memorable.
Then you have a kid-gangster which is goofier than anything in 3. Like we're supposed to both take this kid seriously and feel sorry for him?! A lot of the humor and jokes feel out of place too.
Tonally all over the place because of multiple script drafts hastily jammed into one, and multiple writers.
It's baffling they didn't go with this design the entire film. You need the contrast of grey and black to sell the design. Otherwise he just looks like batman or iron man.
The movie is one of the most Canadian looking films ever. The entire thing is shot in Toronto, featuring locations I've walked past every day. I can't take "Detroit" seriously when it's obviously Toronto. They even show off street car rail lines and Detroit doesn't have any street cars!
The scene where Robo is revealed to the crowd and finds the criminal in the crowd is the UoG Engineering building.
Not much. Worse part is that they even fricked up his suit. Silver grey armor is much better.
I never watched the whole movie just seen clips from it, from what ive seen its like with the remake of total recall all that effort cant recapture what the originals had.
There wasnt any scene that was emotional in it like the parking garage scene in the original, just high polish soulless modern movie making.
I cant stand samuel l. jackson.
>I cant stand samuel l. jackson.
The original had actual satire, since it was mocking current events or tv news. It's not satire to mock Fox News, since it's just pure propaganda. You either like it or don't. There's nothing deep in criticizing it. Satire is only smart or interesting if it makes you think about something in a new way. Sammy L Jackson saying motherfricker as a parody of O'Reilly is not interesting.
how the frick does that arm look like a cheap halloween costume
Kinnaman and this scene
keeping that hand was fricking moronic.
I assume it was probably a loophole to get around some in universe law or for PR reasons so that everyone can see that it's a human hand firing the gun.
That or it was just a reference to how in the original one of the doctors said they could save his hand but was told to get rid of it.
Honestly, the 2014 Robocop movie feels more like a Metal Heroes movie. If they called it Metal Heroes instead, I bet audiences would like it more.
The original Robocop also directly influenced tokusatsu.
RX looks so cool. Is the show any good? Used to love it as a kid, but I don't remember a thing.
it's good, but the orginal Black is better, I don't know if you know this, but Black RX is a direct sequel to Kamen Rider Black, which is superior in everyway, and is getting a reboot.
I suspect I watched a bit of Black, but RX stuck with my 6 year old-ish self. I'll check Black out.
Don't forget about Metal Hero Jiban, who was directly inspired by Robocop
The end credits music
>non r rated robocop
even the trash should be kept clean of this cancer
>RoboCop remake
>PG-13
From what I recall, the big names put in some decent work, especially Oldman. But I've never felt like seeing it a second time.
It's shit.
It took a potentially interesting new take on the theme that they absolutely fricked on the execution.
OG Robocop was about Murphy regaining his humanity while the remake was about Murphy losing slowly losing it.
the Robocop reboot was pretty fricking good idk what anyone says
>the action scenes were great
>the body revel scene was haunting
>Joel Kinnaman is underrated actor
it's only bad if you actively compare it to the original Robocop movies as some sort of braindead elitist moron
Or you could realize it wasn’t very good and just move on
You cant compare a remake to the original its based on.
Seriously?
yeah I'm thinking it's kino
>that tump when Robocop steps
pretty much nothing
I prefer the film RoboCop ripped off
literally nothing
I can't even remember who the bad guy was
>I can't even remember who the bad guy was
There's a few and I'm really straining to remember.
1. The corrupt cops.
2. The criminal guy.
3. Steve Jobs.
Jobs becomes uncharistically evil because the plot needs a villain and the rest of them are dead at taht point. Nothing hinted that he would become evil out of nowhere.
