RoboCop 2014 trailer
So it looks like instead of a RoboCop that is mostly a robot with a human brain, the new one is a built up prosthetic cyborg with an organic right hand.
He is blown up by a car bomb. They should have done it like the original but 2013 style.
Oj and they changed the gun. Should have kept the gun.
I like the look where he looks like a streamlined version of the original. I do not like the all black version. It appearars though the two are different too.

Speaking of which I got the toy Ed209 for Christmas when I was 8 or 9. Cool toy. It lasted as long as me eating breakfast before the demon dog got to it.

THe new one looks pretty cool, but the old one still looks cool too. I'll take either.

Re: Robocop 2014
I recently re-watched the original. It's clear the remake won't have as much gore (or profanity, according to a review I read) - it is a PG-13 this time around. Soon we'll see how well it's generally received but I'm rather curious to see this.

Re: Robocop 2014
A review I read the other day made me cringe; changing his design is one thing, but changing the whole setting and premise...

Re: Robocop 2014
About to see it.
From what I understand it is a suit not a complete body like the original was. In the original the face and brain was all that remained. In this new one Robocop is basically a suit with added prostheses for missing limbs.

Re: Robocop 2014
Have seen it, and 99% of all complaints about it (from before it was out) were wrong.
Its pretty decent,

And this is to cover the Spoiler tag for Tsu.

Re: Robocop 2014
Why is Lewis being male considered a spoiler? Looking at a cast list, or watching the previews will show you that. He actually has one of the best lines in the movie when he tells the "tactical black" Robocop that at least now he is the right color.
The female partner becomes male, and the male captain becomes female. The wife plays a much bigger role in this version and she doesn't take guff from anyone.
I liked the point where the one tech guy was showing different versions of the ... armor and said that this one tested VERY high, and when they showed the picture it was the original armor from the first movie.

Re: Robocop 2014
That was a nice tie to the original.

Re: Robocop 2014
A cleaner, somewhat sanitized spin on the original. The original was a bit cartoonish in some respects, here the violence is a bit more restrained and there's a lot less gore and profanity. Similar themes are brought up to date politically (and technologically, as befits a 2014 feature film). There were a few nods to the original. Generally I enjoyed it well enough. The plot is similar but not at all a clone and offers a couple of twists on the original. The cast is pretty good with Michael Keaton, Gary Oldman and Samuel L Jackson lending star power, though the role of Alex Murphy/RoboCop once again goes to a relative newcomer in his first major feature film.

Re: Robocop 2014
I don't think the original was cartoonish in the violence. Remember real violence is in fact more violent than what is normally shown. For example when the ED-209 shot up that guy who pulled a gun on it in that board meeting. It was cut short but in the director's cut he was shot up even more because they couldn't get the Ed-209 to stop.
Maybe when Murphy was shot up it would have been cartoonish. His hand then arm wree blown off and then shot up (though it looked like the bullets never went through the bullet proof vest.

Re: Robocop 2014
The thing that I loved about that scene was the fact that one bullet from those guns would kill ANYBODY the ED209 UNLOADED on that dude... total overkill. +1
