Probably the best and most underrated reboot movie of all time.

They should have kept him in the silver suit throughout the movie. The black suit looked like shit and probably turned people away from going to see it.
>>
Best reboot of our times is the Planet of the Apes series
>>
>>68115021
The total recall reboot was better and less offensive than this shit-show.
>>
>>68115021
Movie sucked dick.
>>
Watched an hour of the new Robocop. I couldn't tell you a single thing about it.
>>
>>68115021

it's better than it has any right to be, i'll give you that

this.

it had zero charm of the original robocop.

This, both were damn good.

>black suit .. turned people away from going to see it.

Odly this is true for me, this is the first I've seen him in the original silver suit
>>
>>68115066
This.
>>
>>68115021
this was actually the worst movies I' ve ever seen
horrible script
no pacing
every little detail is retarded, like instead of getting blown to shreds by a shotgun firing squad, he gets seemingly nonfatal injuries from a car bomb, then when we see his body after they made him robocop it's literally just his head. The doctors took him apart?
Or the scene where they "drain his dopamine" to make him unemotional, which led to this intelligently written line
>His dopamine levels are coming back to normal!
>how is that even possible?
>I have no idea...
How any human finds this movie good or "smart" is beyond me
>>
>>68115021

It was a generic sci-fi action movie. I would've liked it better if it wasn't called Robocop.
>>
>>68115407
only because they failed once and tried again.
>>
>>68115021
I thought it was ok until the "thing" happened.

>we have to be real careful, no one's ever did something like this
>OH SHIT WE HAVE A PRESS CONFERENCE IN A MINUTE BETTER ACT LIKE FUCKING RETARDS

everything after was just unnecessary
>>
>>68115705
>RoboCop suddenly is responding to his robotics because they "drained his dopamine"
>WE PRESENT TO YOU: ROBOCOP
>scans crowd at a POLICE press conference
>identifies wanted fugitive
>a wanted fugitive is at a police press conference
How does this have a 50% rt? It deserves 0
>>
This could have been such a brilliant movie.
It could have been an incredible satire, like the original. They could have lampooned so much going on IRL:

>muh police shootings
>muh Detroit is a wasteland
>muh militarization of police force
>muh commercialism
>muh etc

Instead they squandered the movie's potential on shit. I feel like they needed to make a shitty movie just to keep the movie rights to Robocop for a few years longer.
>>
>>68115021
he gets destroyed in the black suit, they put him back in the original silver suit in the end, implying that's his look for the sequels. rip
>>
>>68115342
you now realize you're a shallow idiot with boring opinions.

does /tv/ like joel kinnaman?

well, he was awful in RoboCop

This was a great film desu, better than the original RoboCop
>>
>>68115021

>underrated

No I think it was properly rated. Movie sucked dick. Should have kept the silver instead of going black as well.

I even rewatched the original Robocop so it was fresh on my mind before watching the remake and god damn it dont hold up a candle to it.
>>
>>68115021

Boring ass film that is a glib facimile of the original. 2nd Act is taken up by training scenes with no drama that no one cares about. Film has a decent budget but looks incredibly cheap. Every shot looks like Toronto.
>>
I walked out of the theater.
Not because it was bad, it was just bland.
The organs in a jar thing was the best part of the movie.
>>
There was no way that someone would remake this film without being a PG-13 shitfest. Padilha is very capable at portraying violence, but he was obviously restricted by the studio jews.

As >>68116171 pointed out, it feels like a cashgrab that only exists to maintain their movie rights for the franchise.

>tfw we will never see Robocop beating the shit out of potheads in IMAX

>>68116690
the tiny minority of people who saw the killing think he's amazing.

Garbage fucking thread

The way they tried to give weight to the samuel l jackson was so mediocre

>>68116690
I liked him in this and he's very good on house of cards

Apes is perfect But Roboocop was good too

Im part of that tiny group and think hes pretty ok

You're a straight up moron, it was pure trash and just as pointless as every other reboot.
>>
>>68117504
Le le le
>>
>>68116171
I've been saying the last 2 years that it had to either be set long after the original Robocop in the same universe or in modern day Detroit.

Instead they made the most generic Hollywood shit they possibly could.
>>
I liked it since it had it's own story. Would like to see another one.

Oh for fuck's sake, now the contrarian internet defense force is defending this? What's next, Catwoman was actually an underrated masterpiece?

Robocop 2014 was boring. It was a completely uninspired reboot that should have never been made. Most reboots are like that nowadays, like Total Recall, new Planet of the Apes, etc. Not terrible, but dull lackluster wastes of time.

Things like Dredd, or The Thing reboot, are pretty good though; movies where it is obvious that the producers and the people involved seemed to have cared even though just a little.

One of the most forgettable, bland movies I've ever seen. Really offered nothing over the original. The only thing it tried to do a little different was to explore the psychological aspect of being turned into a robot a little more than the original, but even that wasn't really that interesting beyond the scene of him and his lungs just hanging there.

Joel Kinnaman seems like an okay actor otherwise, but he was really uninteresting in this. Not sure how much of that is his fault. SLJ was terrible. Michael Keaton was pretty forgettable. Gary Oldman was fine.

For some reason they traded Lewis for a black dude. It's like they just thought they had to automatic diversify it for the modern era, but no one told them Lewis was already a woman.
>>
>>68119314

Pretty much this. It was unoffensive but offered nothing of real interest. It's commentary on drones and surveillance was less biting than the originals anti-consumerism.
>>
>>68119314
This desu. People who saw the original gain nothing from watching it. People who didn't, well, they should watch the original instead.

>>68120402
I think I read that's the reason they kept his right hand, so that at no point it was a robot/drone shooting, but a human. Not sure if that was the case with Robocop, but it's known that other movies get extra money or props or facilitations from the military if they help paint them in good light. Drones/robots killing people is a bit of a touchy subject, and I guess Robocop filmmakers didn't want to, or were asked not to go there.
>>
>>68120575

The opening scene has military robots and drones killing tons of people.
>>
>>68115021
>most underrated reboot movie of all time
That's not the remake of frightnight anon
>>
Had the most unnecessary body horror scene ever. Absolutely pointless and added nothing to the movie.

WTF was his human hand attached to as well?! It it was severed, why did they keep it? Shits and gigs?
>>
>>68116171
it did try to be satirical in the same vein ("make it black"), that was the problem, it had no teeth and simply did a lukewarm liberalism about drones and robots in the middle east and how corporations and the state see their own population as enemies. Even the violence is child-proof.

But in the age of "Cmon it's the current year and a 42 years old black child was killed by the white racist Tyrone Jackson Hernandez in the racist act of not letting himself be killed" that sort of liberal satire sounds like a woman placating her rapist.
>>
>>68120402
I was offended by it, very offended at how terrible it was. I hate RoboCop 2014, I hate it. I hate it forever. A thousand deaths are not enough for Padilha!
>>
>>68121293

You're being a little melodramatic.
>>
None of the reboots mentioned at the beginning of this thread are any good.
>>
>>68115021
If it's so good then why the director disowned it and said Sony Pictures didn't let him put any of his ideas to tone down the movie for a PG 13 audience? It was trash and missed completely the point of the original which was a trap movie for convervative retards.

You can say thing about the Total Recall reboot.

It was basically another Bourne Identity clone.
>>

>>
>>68120760
why did they even bother making a robocop in the first place?
it makes sense in the original its supposed to be an alternative to robots but theyve got straight up robots in new robocop and they work fine theres no reason to revive him at all
