Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

juneebuggy I went into thins thinking I'm not sure we need this remake to begin with as the original 80's movie stands up fine and is still such a classic...and I was right New Robocop is just another soulless CGI fest with way too many shoot-um-up scenes, giant robots, video game style action and missing all the emotion and campiness of the original. Joel Kinnaman, I like him but he is lost here as Murphy -a cop resurrected as a crime fighting cyborg whose past life makes him question his corrupt corporate overlords, as he also seeks justice against the criminals that attacked him.Even during his horrifying physical transformation, which leaves him mostly cyborg, I didn't get the feels. I also didn't like how they changed the storyline and had him getting injured in an explosion and then his wife signing him over to Omnicorp In the original the scene that has always stayed with me is Peter Weller getting shot multiple times, getting his arm blown off and his heartache after he is "robocoped" that his wife thinks he's dead and he knows he can't go back to her, ever. This also has me bored with too many endless shoot um up scenes that just went on and on.Ultimately I was disappointed but no more than I expected. Even if I try to take this reboot on its own merits and forget about the original its just not a great movie.

Gavin Purtell I went into the 'RoboCop' reboot with fond, but not very vivid, memories of the original, seeing as it came out when I was 2! I do remember having a RoboCop figurine that I used to play with as a kid. And this new film does a good job of making him look both new and futuristic, but also similar enough to the original that old fans won't be disappointed - he's silver for about a third of the film and black for the rest.In terms of story, it's pretty straight forward - Detective Alex Murphy (Kinnaman) is almost killed, is turned into a cyborg and then tracks down the bad guys in Detroit. Sure, there's a little more to it than that - is he more man, or machine? Does he still have a conscience/soul? And does it matter if he's good at his job?There's some decent action, but a lot of shaky/fast camera work that doesn't always help the action scenes. It feels longer than it should and doesn't have the best ending. Oldman and Keaton are good, but it's hard to feel any real connection to Murphy and his wife (Cornish), as you never spend any real time with them.

The Couchpotatoes For the older generation, the generation wherein I belong, we will prefer Paul Verhoeven's Robocop. At that time his movie was innovating and fresh. This version isn't bad though and for the generation that never saw the original one they will probably rate it a bit higher than I do. I'm just not a big fan of remakes unless they're done way better. And that's rarely the case. Joel Kinnaman as Robocop is okay though. The movie has the right amount of action and drama to keep you entertained. It's a good sci-fi story. A story that you hope will never come through because the last thing we need is robots taking over the already decreasing job market. And robots deciding what's right or wrong isn't a future I want to live in. So this Robocop is okay to watch once but if I had to chose I would watch the original instead.

Eddie Cantillo Robocop(2014) Starring:Joel,Killnman,Gary Oldman,Michael Keaton,Abbie Cornish,and Jay Burchael. Directed By: José Padilha Review Movie dead or alive your coming with me,but I prefer dead. So Robocop a movie that was utterly remade for absolutely no reason other then to make a couple hundred bucks. I have never seen the original but just the name of the character Robocop sounds fascinating. So basically you've got detective Alex Murphy who is this honest cop in this normal cliché area that doesn't like honest cops for some reason.What grinds my gutters the most is when scifi films like this use to have atmosphere and other-worldly sense to them,none of this now tiring and annoying trend of realism. Realism isn't a bad thing but when your reintroducing a nostalgic icon like Robocop,batman,or even the freaking ninja turtles you have to step up your game and get creative with the worlds they inhabit. Cause I do not want to see a character named Robocop in freaking suburbia! This is not atmosphere,this is not an environment people see Robocop inhabit,this is pure laziness! This is lame,this is a freaking Joke! Have some dang passion! Anyway being the honest cop that he is Alex Murphy is blown by a car bomb. But lucky for him Dr.Norton and Raymond Sellars are developing a procedure that could potentially save his life.Later Alex Murphy becomes Robocop and after forty five minutes actually starts to do things relevant the plot. Now let's talk about the good even though there isn't much. Joel KIllnman is a stellar choice for Robocop, Keaton is incredible good in some scenes but in others he can become incredibly generic because the script really doesn't know what to do with him half the time.Gary Oldman does a good job as playing Dr.Norton who creates the Robocop suit to bring Murphy back from the dead and the scnes with him Killnman and Keaton he has chemistry between them drawing the line between him being a protagonist or antagonist even though you can already guess he's going to be a protagonist, which takes away the mystery. And the pacing feels a little nice. Now let's get on the bad side,I did like the idea of his family being in the movie but they come as plot devices instead of characters.It was like they said hey let's add a family for this character so we can act like we have an emotional attachment to this character when in reality we have no idea what were going to do with them.They weren't bad they were just really cheap.The action scenes are completely hit and miss,this film has action scenes are action scenes that bring nothing new to the table,it's every generic action scene you have seen a million times before. Nothing of it stands out. For example there is a scene that is completely shot in the dark so we can't see a dang thing. Kind of like that scene in Alone in the dark where the monsters are coming to attack and everyone comes in shooting in the dark and we can't tell what there shooting at. It could have worked for this film but just doesn't if you factor in that Murphy's suit is entirely black! I don't hate this movie but I don't like it that much either and trust me you won't either.It has a decent pace,good performances and some entertaining although unimaginative action scenes. I'm giving this new Robocop a two and a half out of five.
