A lot of old timers here should remember the old favorite. Well, a remake is here:

I don't get the hate for this reboot, the Robocop franchise suffered with Robocop 2, worse movie of the series heck I thought Robocop 3 was slightly better than 2. This new movie just cannot be worse than 2.

Looks pretty cool.

It's PG-13

WTF.

The director is José Padilha (from Elite Squad), I trust in that guy, and I expect some violence in it.
I guess most of the complaints comes from the PG-13 (apart from that black Robocop).

I wasn't really hoping much from this one...

Seems like another bland 'Teen Friendly' action movie.

Gash!

Hey that didn't look.... Nevermind

Yep, it's going to suck as a result :(

Damn! This doesn't look like RoboCop at all! (>_<)
It looks too soft, too sterile... like a movie made for TV!

Where's the Frank Miller's vibe & touch...?! (>_<)

Well it's a watered down remake of an already excellent film, which is completely unnecessary. The gritty, over the top levels of violence, which represent not only the worst qualities of all people but is also symbolic of the internal struggle of the hero as he tries to sort out what he is within the chaos and confusion of his re-awakening and reprogramming, have been replaced by a teenagers immature idea of existential humanism. Instead of a once living man turned into a machine endeavoring to relearn it's own humanity, we now have a cop who gets badly hurt and needs a prosthetic.

Plus the new suit look like a cross between the costume in The Dark Knight and the one in The Dark Knight Rises.

This new movie is, in a word; superfluous.

I saw no cyborg ninjas and giant mechs with chain guns so meh...

Better safe superfluous generic action flick, than that violent, disgusting piece of shit thats Robocop 2,The butchery of the protaginist himself, and the most bummer, downer, just sad ending ever where OCP is not held accountable after all the blood they have on their hands.

Also you seemed suprised its PG 13 after Robocop 3 was?

Wait, so the movie will suck just because of the PG-13 rating? Yes, the original had a lot of violence and everything, but i really can't blame them for trying to go for a bigger audience. Also, José Padilha is a pretty good director. His previous movies (Elite Squad 1 and 2) were awesome. Elite Squad 2 was by far the best movie i watched in 2010.

I agree that Robocop 2 was an inferior movie in every way, but using that as some sort of justification for a remake would be like saying there should be a remake of Jaws because of how bad Jaws 3 was. If the studio wanted to make money off the Robocop name I would have been more than happy with a digitally restored, possibly 3D re-release in the theaters. Well, as long as they didn't do something real stupid like Kinney shoots first.

Actually I think I'm one of the few people here who isn't complaining about the rating. Then again I also watched the Prime Directives series and thought the story and ideas were not that awful, just the production value. The only time I think Robocop was ruined by a rating was on the TV show, not the 2 cartoon series but the actual live action series. He was not allowed to actually shoot anyone, instead he threw smoke pellets and then shot the chain on a chandelier so that it fell on the bad guys. Utterly lame.
