I hope the phrase "you have 20 seconds to comply" is used somewhere. 😆

Despite all the big stars it's got 3 stars written all over it.

From the leaked images I've seen, it appears that the new... "outfit" is the wrong term but lets roll with it, the new outfit is a new version of the old one. Ie, the original look is in the movie too, and they redesign it within the plot.

Which, makes me happy. I'm not daft enough to dismiss it as a "ruined classic" until I've actually watched the film.

I'm not expecting anyone to match Kurtwood Smiths performance. He made the movie for me. I'll just take the new one for what it is and try to enjoy it as a stand alone movie. At least, if it's engaging, it'll enable the comparisons to wait until later.

Was he Clarence Brodicker? You're not wrong if so.

Too right. Why remake a classic.

Without this, it's nothing

PS. Robocop was one of the rare films I went to the cinema twice to see.

If its not Verhoeven (sp)...well...it won't be Verhoeven, will it?

I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised...

My money is on nobody being pleasently surprised, and it being as utterly gash as the trailer suggests. A complete travesty of pointless CGI nonsense, that surgically removes everything that was best about the original

I hope they follow the Verhoeven back catalog and remake Showgirls, with extra CGI.
This one stinks of mediocre unfortunately, the original, though not perfect, was at least original!

Hey. You saw some of the first one and you didn't like it. There's no reason to subject yourself needlessly to the remake. We all have different likes and dislikes. Fair comment.

The first film is a classic..

When I first heard about the re-make, especially a pg-13 remake I was very skeptical, however.. having watched the trailer it looks fun.. I can't see it having the satire of the original, however the director has done a couple of good films - so I'm going in open minded...

Certainly the pg13 classification for the remake is troubling. Clarence's use of profanity in every possible situation in the original was what made the dialog so entertaining and in a weird way more believable.
On another note...
What about the remake of Total Recall? Personally, I hated it. I'd have preferred, and possibly even liked it a tiny bit if they'd called it something like Déjà Vu. It was borderline insulting due to the fact they tried to act in it. Come on. Don't try to upstage Arnie. It's a fight you'll lose.

That was pretty bad - got distracted by some paint drying...

The Total Recall remake had Kate Beckinsale in ossum body mode so it wins.

Big time.

The original was only great because they turned a guy into a machine, and I was about 8.

Not for me, I avoided the Aliens thing, Total Recall and will avoid this too. It'll just be like a i-robot/look at me dropping references in to the old robocop. Abit like a tribute band. No ta.

I'm kinda looking forward to 300 Pt Deux but not holding up much hope.

Please make a Dredd II 🙁

Off topic but I watched half of the 'A Team' movie last night.

Seriously, what a crock of absolute and utter drivel.

Or "ladies leave" in the 'edited for TV version' I remember watching when I was a kid. I always remember thinking Clarence Boddicker was very polite for a psychopathic cop killer.
