Don't know. I think it looks OK.

I want to like this so much, I really do but they aren't making it easy for me. I remember sitting down and watching Robocop 1 and 2 on VHS when I was like, 8. I loved those films so much (1 more than 2) so when I first heard about the remake, I was worried, but then I heard that Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman and Samuel L Jackson was in it and I was excited again... But that suit... looks like they bought it for a dollar (yep, that pun didn't work did it. for shame) it's way too much like the Batman suit and although that was perfect for Batman, it's not for Robocop. Oh, I have this horrible feeling as well that they're gonna make this a PG-13, just because they can. Should I give up hope now or wait for a trailer? There's just something about this that isn't sitting right with me

the suit on the whole doesnt bug me, all techs sleeker now, as long as he moves more machine like than man thats cool, but the helmet change on the visor seems a bit pointless. that and marvels xman cyclops gets a new costume soon thats eerily similar. thats just wierd timing.

I hope this new suit doesn't allow robocop to go all kung fu during the action scenes. To me part of the appeal of the old design was that it looked so unwieldy. Robocop moving very slowly and mechanically towards his targets was part of what made the character special. I also expect lotsa CGI shenanigans. I like the Tropa de Elite films but remain sceptical about this remake. Just read an interview with Belgian actor Matthias Schoenaerts which you guys should definitely check out in 'Bullhead'. He was offered the main role at some point but refused because he felt 'it wouldn't help his carreer much'. Make of that what you will. Seems like a polite way to say the script is perhaps a bit shitty?

I hate to tell you this but I've already seen martial arts mentioned somewhere.

I hate to tell you this but I've already seen martial arts mentioned somewhere. No way! No no no!

[MoonSylver]

Maybe they can just CGI the whole damn character & have him run & jump & climb walls & ceilings & shit like all of those crazy ass robots in "I, Robot"

[Danny]

I hate to tell you this but I've already seen martial arts mentioned somewhere. Do be honest that doesnt bother me. i know it does some because they felt his mechanical movements made him feel more like an unstoppable tank but for me the mechanical stuff was more important to his mannerisms and his loss of humanity yknow?

It will be dog shit. My new cinemagoing manifesto: Don't watch sequels to films released within the last three years. Don't watch remakes of films which were made within, or have cinematic sequels that were made within, the last 25 years. Don't watch "reboots", ever. Don't watch nostalgic "grown-up" adaptations of children's cartoons, ever. Don't support Hollywood laziness!

What about the Star Trek reboot? That was kick ass. I see no need to remake Robocop, but damn from the sound of it I just walked into an elderly home with a bunch of easily aggrivated gentlemen shaking their cane's at the television.
