Looks very plain. Trying to be too sleek and stylish imo.

Re: Robocop Returns

That suit looks horrible, he's not a superhero. Robocop is a classic combination of science fiction and black humour and should not even be attempted to be remade. I assume this movie will be like the Totall Recall remake lacking any humour and just as an excuse to have a CGI orgy. Why are they even wasting their time doing this? Its gonna crash and burn like Totall Recall critically and commercially since it will be compared to one of the best movies from the 80's. No win situation for them.

Re: Robocop Returns

Ugh, that just looks like a guy in body armor.

Why change something as iconic as Robocop? I could understand some minor tweaks, but what they've done is unrecognizable as Robocop. This looks like Prometheus Batman.

When I first saw it it reminded me of Guts from Sword of the Berserk..

I'm usually not a fan of remakes in general, but I think Robocop is one of those movies that could be done decently...I'll be keeping tabs on this.

Re: Robocop Returns

Um...That's supposed to be a man+robot? Hmm maybe they're going with the cyborg approach.

I'm fine with this is Aronofsky plays up the psychological aspect of the character like the first movie did rather than going all action movie on us. Knowing his track record it'll hew more to the former.

Uhh, Aronofsky isn't directing this anymore.

"slaps myself" that's what I get for not looking at the time stamp LOL

"blah"

Having just looked this up, it's interesting to see they've gone with a foreign director making his American debut.

Reminds me of the anime MD Geist

Re: Robocop Returns

Robocop's dark humor, over the top violence, and social commentary on corporate greed is what made that movie a classic. It was a lot smarter film than most action movies tended to be back then. Hope they do it justice as the Totall Recall remake was a Totall Failure outside of the cinematography and some special effects.

The original film is STILL a lot smarter than most action movies today as well.

That's kinda depressing.

Re: Robocop Returns

I don't hate the new suit that much but I don't get why they couldn't have kept it silver instead of going with black.

Re: Robocop Returns

I'd buy that for a dollar.
