This trailer made it look a bit better, still hate the look though...really, really wanted his original look...I don't mind it being updated and his helmet coming on the way it does looks cool but the black is just eugh
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: We don't even get a screw up from ED-209 in this remake, In this one they've already made them and are deployed in a warzone
and OCP doesn't Murphy which the trailer seems to make out, He is actually killed by a car bomb planted by crooked cops under the payroll of local crime boss Antoine Vallon........Yeah no Clarence Boddicker this time. Also as for Vallon he wasn't as memorable like Boddicker
A buddy of mine saw this via torrent, and he told me that it's an unmitigated pile of dog shit disaster topped with whipped cream. "It destroys the legacy of Robocop" is what my friend told me.
I trust his word, so I won't be seeing this, at least not immediately.
I actually thought this was a really entertaining film. I want to watch it again in fact. The trick is not to compare it to the original, and then you'll enjoy it.
Much much better than any of the Robocop sequels they made. That's for sure.
The remake is pretty damn good and is better than the sequel. *Doesn't even count 3* Only real flaw was the PG rating IMHO Your friend is exaggerating and I wonder if he went with an open mind when he watched it.

saw this earlier. i didn't like it.. the story sucked... the acting wasn't great.. no violence at all and that was disappointing.. [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Keaton being bad I saw the moment he first appeared was stunt casting to say the least..
