Better than I expected, as I expected an abortion. But not very good at all. The pacing was shit, the action for the most part dull and a drive-by at best on being a social momentary like the original.
Pros:
-Silver form Robocop looked good
-Gary Oldman is in it
-Robocop's wife is pretty hot
-Modern CGI for ED209 was nice to see
-Sam Jackson was Sam Jackson
Considering that, I highly doubt this will get a sequel, not that I would look forward to it.
I quite liked it, not as good as the original of course but it had it's qualitities like being able to [SPOILER - highlight to read]: see what was under the armour and all that, the effects were that were stunning and obviosuly something they couldn't have done back in the original for obvious reasons. Wasn't expecting that, everyone there was like 'wtf!?!'. But why keep his right hand? They cut off his leg that coulda still been used, they cut off his right arm but keep that one hand...it looked really stupid with the part I just mentioned that I liked cause it's like [SPOILER - highlight to read]: everything is gone apart from the important parts such as your lungs, your brain...oh and your right hand. Although it was useful at the end I guess when he had to remove his left arm after it got stuck under an ED 209. And at the end it was nice to see them get rid of the black armour.
Well there are people like me and Zack saying it's a great movie.
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: the trick is to let go of the Original when watching it. My brother's making comparison's with the original which is why he's not fond of it either, even though me and him usually have similar taste in films.
Pretty poor. Good acting from Gary Oldman. Some pretty good action set pieces but that's about all the positives. Keaton has a passing grade but just. Aside from looking good I have no idea how Abbie Cornish keeps getting work. She plays the same confused idiotic role in every film.
The pacing is by miles the worst thing about it. It's a far more insular story than the original. There's no sense that crime is particularly out of control. I'd say Detroit looked less rundown in this than it does in real life. It gives a whole 2 minutes to showing robocop tackling normal crimes before going back to his own attempted murder.
