In reply to CountOrlok. I agree. Without that it's just a movie about a guy in a suit. The whole depth of Robocop was what took it to a whole other level, taking it from a cheesy 80s action flick to a classic. It's like if they took total recall made a carbon copy but left out all the gore, violence and humor. Oh wait, they already did that.

I don’t “know” this film is going to be awful, in the same way I don’t “know” something is going to fall when it’s dropped. I just have a lot of evidence and preconceived knowledge to make a fairly educated guess.

So I feel like I come on this site and just bitch about how bad Pandora is, or the resident Evil Movie franchise or the how atrocious the Robocop remake will (likely wink) be, but that’s not the me you all should know! I saw VHS, it was fucking awesome.

Do an interview with Ti West, he is the definitive name in horror right now.

Verhoeven’s Robocop was actually a parody/satire of American culture but studio execs were probably too dumb to notice.

Anyone who’s watched Padilha’s movies know how good he is, but some of his ideas probably don’t fit the Hollywood standards. I really think he would do something very good with RoboCop if he had more freedom, but apparently that’s not the case, so I’m not expecting much.
