This movie has the signs of a Paycheck remake
1) Ensemble cast 2) Big budget 3) Milder rating 4) More Emotions
Filmmakers and studios have an certain ideas about what is going to sell in todays market and after that its only about assembling a team that will do it.
The original was darker, bloodier, relied lesser on special effects, and if i were to discuss concepts and scenes where it was superior i would run out of words.
So I'm going to tell you where this movie did it better...
1) The fast robocop ...as faster lighter , leaner robocop makes a lot of sense in the future and in a remake.
2)Michael Keaton...he brings a vibe to the screen that the original "old man" just could not.
This movie makes you realise that even the best special effects are no substitute for a good animatronics, a brilliant director and a good script.......even for a sci-fi film.
Once again i would like to register my protest against crying heroes....i know you want to appeal everyone....but seriously does nothing else turn women on??
As a remake this is another victim of greed with watered down version of cult classic and even though i enjoyed the film by constantly reminding myself that i have paid good money to enjoy myself and not continuously thinking about reviews and comparisons,i was tempted to rate the movie lower in the delusion that it may direct movie makers away from such unnecessary remakes.
BUT The fact is this movie couldn't have received a higher rating even as a standalone film with a merely decent cast (exclude Keaton and wasted oldman), very good but now run of the mill special effects, non epic action scenes, and one too many emotional scenes.
