"Let's make him look like batman with laser eyes"

I like how Michael Keaton's character basically says that right in the trailer.

Of the thousands of things fundamentally wrong with this reboot, the fact that they're refocusing the story on Robocop's wife and kids (perhaps the single shittiest element of the original) seems the most morbidly promising:



Dare we hope?

The design looks ok. It's the trailer quotes that are making me groan now.

If they had any balls, they'd set it in modern-day Detroit.

The problem with trailers is that they always have the BUZZIEST of buzzword quotes in them constantly. Its a game at work to see which trailer has the most one-liners strung together in a row before someone makes an actual statement, and the somewhat cringe worthy fact is the vast majority of trailers for non-animated movies are COMPLETELY made up of one-liners.

I enjoy the fact that Robocop's new gun looks like a dressed up tec-9.

God Robocop's gun is basically the entire reason I love guns. It pains me in ways you can't comprehend that they're changing it.

He still has something that looks like his old gun, its just that he also has an SMG that it looks like he uses primarily.

Looks like Robocop got upgraded from slow zombie to fast zombie.

I think where they're missing the point somewhat is that the old movies weren't really about Robocop per se, they were really about the moderately exaggerated universe which happened to produce him.  This new one is like, well, it's modern-day Canada USA, and there are really big drones for some reason and there's an ED-209 walkin' around, aaaaand here's the new Motorola Droid Razr Cop.

I suppose it's hard to parody the current state of the world but... what's the point if you're not even going to try?

(Also there really needs to be a law against letting people who do reboots show the original main character's design and then be all like HA HA THAT IS SO STUPID ENJOY THIS NEW BULLSHIT WITH MORE BLACK.)

"Let's make him look like batman with laser eyes"

"Let's also remove anything that makes him flawed and tragic. People don't go to the movies to see a downer of a character, even if he is a killing machine almost as invincible as Steven Segal."

The original Robocop basically predicted the future enough that the new Robocop is set like 20 years in the future and everything looks exactly the same as it does now to balance things out.

I saw the trailer in front of Riddick, and the collective response of the audience (a late night halfway sober college student granfalloon) when they said MORE TACTICOOL and then Robocop was black was a huge cheer.

So.

Yeah.

Also, the joke is Detroit now more closely resembles the Detroit from the original movie than it does itself from 20 years ago.

Also PG-13, because an R rating is a death sentence.

Ever notice that the only time people ever cheer at movies is when it's at something really dumb? It's because only tasteless people cheer at the fucking movies.
