Cast alone is why I will see this. The original is timeless. Perfect as is...I don't know why we need a reboot..I mean, you guys know we'll probably get a Terminator Reboot sooner or later. It's just showing us Hollywood's true colors. They can't come up with anything fresh, just elaborate what has been done. Which is basically saying to the predecessor, "I can do this better than you did!" Even though, yes, Nolan did that and thank God he did hahah.

Don't get me wrong. I never wrote a thing in my life. And I am sure it's tough to come up with something fresh, hence we get crap like "Branded" in theaters...but I don't want my kids having a shelf of DVDs with 3 Supermans, Batmans, Robocops, etc etc...this is one flick I wish they didn't touch.

Maybe? No idea...the only thing they need to change about Robocop, is make him less clunkier...which is part of his charm in the original.

Some movies should never get re made, this is one of them.

With the success o Transformers and specially Iron Man of course they would want to make Robocop again with this new technology..

LMAO, I could definitely see why after what I watched yesterday. I forgot just how shitty it was after not seeing it for almost twenty years.

It's rally misleading using fan concepts for an article about the feature film without pointing it out.

Hope it gets violent and strong like padilha's movies and not watered down.

I loved the first Robocop and the second when I was a kid. After watching the first again recently, it doesn't hold up well. Cheesy dialog, bad acting, etc. Its staying power is the story behind it. But it really wasn't nearly as good as I remember. I have hopes that this will be a great update, but we'll see.

@Fogs, i'm with you!
Well, that is good news, i guess. Usually i hate reboots, but i'm cheering for my fellow countryman Padilha.

Not like the original film was a classic of any kind other than a cult favourite amongst fanboys. It was a budget film that made a decent profit but followed by two really bad sequels and pretty much forgotten by its peers having made no real major impact at the box office of any financial size.

If they can remake this as a decent scifi film like the new Total Recall adaptation and not cater for fanboys and their action film clichés then it may not be guaranteed to make a lot of money but it will be a far more superior film like Total Recall 2012 was to that ridiculous Verhoven version with the Austrian plank of wood.

@FlannelGuy26 Oh yes, because anything anyone does these days is original.

@IronFan93 - I guess we aren't supposed to offend the children these days. Having a PG13 Robocop would be complete grade A bullshit.


@Ceejay - Like Hell Robocop isn't a classic! It is an action movie classic. Cult films can be classics like Blade Runner.
