Trailer for Robocop remake
 

The trailer for the remake of Robocop has been released, Check it out.

I'm not a big fan of the older movies, but Robocop is a fun concept. Don't know what I think about ol' Murphy's alternate (I guess?) black coating, however.

I think this could be pretty good. But I like the black suit waaaay less than the grey/metallic one( did they seriously need to make it black to appeal to this generation?). And Im not sure im sold on his robotic voice. That being said, im looking forward to it.

Meh...looks like a fun popcorn flick

though tough luck from what I hear about from the director of the movie

Looks like something I'll see. But it also looks like it might walk that Karate Kid line, where I think, "This is so similar to the original, I'm not sure why it was remade..."

But a trailer isn't much to judge on, and it's been years since I watched the original.

Man Im a big fan of RoboCop. The first one had this over the top, ultra-violent, zainy, Mad Magazine feel of how bad the future was. Like kinda comical. This one looks cool but seems to be lacking in the charm the original had.

Never seen any of the previous movies, but that suit looks insanely awesome. His suit in the old movies looks better, though. it had a certain charm about the way it looks.

The whole movie looks awesome. might go see this.

I posted the trailer to my FB wall last night.
Overall it's missing that charm the original had.

What I like is that the action looks good. It also has Sam Jackson and Michael Keaton.

What I dont like is that, the trailer for the over didn't make me want to see the movie. Visually the movie looks like others before it, like the Total Recall remake and even Dredd. And I really liked the Extended Director's Cut of the new Total Recall.
The black armor... I dont know about it but I feel it's this movies attempt to move itself from the original. The metallic looked fine. Also the actor already i getting a bit of face time as Robo in the trailer, which didn't happen until the end of the original when the character started to "wake up".

What I would hope from this movie is real character development and hero's struggle in being human.
I miss a good cyberpunk movie and I was hoping this would deliver on some level... but there's still time before it's release.

In reference to missing charm, it should be noted that the remake is PG-13. :ohwell:

God damnit. :lol:

Yeah, a PG-13 Robocop remake. Count me out.

HAHAHAHA I didn't even notice that!

I'm looking forward to it, The original Robocop when you look at it now, Is a relic of the time it was made, the 1980s. The remake is not trying to be like the original by any means, Even though there are some references to the original. But this remake is made for a broader audience.

Are there any fans of the Robocop cartoons or live action TV shows?

I watched 'em but can't say I remember much about 'em.

The original movie is one of my favorites of all time, so I'll probably see this new one, but I doubt it will have the cutting satire or social commentary the original had. "Cop gets killed, becomes robot" was like, not even HALF of what that movie was about. Without the satire, it's just another action movie, which is where 2 and 3 went wrong.

And I don't think the PG-13 rating necessarily has to mean it's going to be bad, all by itself. Although the violence in the original was over-the-top by necessity, in order to illustrate how desensitized to violence society has become, but again, I don't think the remake will be including any of the original's social commentary, so it could still do alright if it's a little less violent. They're trying to reach a wider audience, after all; PG-13 is the rating that sells the most tickets.

So...4th degree burns? What?

what?

There are six degrees of burns, 5 and 6th usually means an autopsy

I thought there were only 3....but that's "that you can survive."

Supposedly Murphy suffers 4th, according to the trailer.

I couldn't get audio on the computer I was watching it on. :ohwell:

I agree. The original movie was going to be rated X due to the violence until they toned it down.
