While it's far better than it could have been, José Padilha's RoboCop remake fails to offer a significant improvement over the original. Read critic reviews

Apr 25, 2016This remake and reboot of the Paul Verhoeven 1987 film "RoboCop" does not compare to the original. It expands and adds ideas that weren't explored in the original and maybe that would seem like a good idea, but ultimately it's not. Murphy's memories were erased in the original but in this one he is able to keep them until he has an emotional breakdown and is then erased. He then goes rogue and tries to solve his own murder. The doctor is portrayed as having a larger role in his development. And the president of Omnicorp just seems like he's not working in the public interest but working for the almighty American dollar. Samuel L. Jackson plays what I guess is a cable news pundit and I feel that's extremely unnecessary. Like most reboots or remakes, there isn't much that would satisfy fans of the original film, I doubt they are fans of the sequels. It doesn't have the bite or satire of the original.Joseph B Super Reviewer

Mar 13, 2016The question of the necessity of a reboot aside, this isn't a bad attempt. The cast is great, the pace really fast and the effects pretty decent. The action is not particularly spectacular, and the bad guys die surprisingly bloodless, but the film is neither more shallow nor dumber than the original. Only the final scene leaves a bit of a stale taste in your mouth.Jens S Super Reviewer

May 06, 2015In the olden days nobody gave too much of a hoot for sci-fi and so you had cheesy movies with 3 or 4 no-name actors carrying the whole thing, reciting the whole script. Nowadays, sci-fi is big money and so you have the opposite, and in this film you've got it in spades: practically the entire cast is a name talent, meaning everybody gets a line or two, but that's all, "don't be so greedy". This in service of a story with the money and tech to be really big, but because of the diffusion of talent, ya get diffusion of intent, diffusion of purpose and so an "ehh" where you should've got a "rrrrah!" Nonetheless, Jackie Earle Haley nearly walks away with the whole thing.
