RoboCop (2013)

So i've just came back from cinema, and it a really good movie.

But don't treat it like a remake. They kept the original theme which is great but, the actor who plays Alex's partner is Irish from BF4 and i hate that guys cause, during the whole movie in every scene he poped out i was thinking damn BF4 lol
Anyways worth to watch

I didn't like it.

I thought the script was pretty bad, they removed every single edge to the movie (like 90% of action movies nowadays), and stripped pretty much everything that made the first one a good movie.

Detroit's grubby dirty streets are replaced by some generic skyscrapers and residential areas. Violence is just not depicted in a satirical way like it used to, the humour is almost non existant and there are a couple of pretty big plot holes.

Samuel L Jackson part was borderline cringeworthy and served no purpose (yeah I get it, they tried to replace the old movie ads by that pseudo Fox newscast but it completely lacked any subtlety). I'm not a die-hard feminist, but they even replaced Lewis, a strong woman character, by Omar (The Wire) and the only women are assistants and the lovely stay-at-home-crying wife.

Kinnaman was good (as usual) but overall it's very very far from Verhoeven grimy satirical dystopia. That being said, there's a fairly good focus on the human-machine struggle and it looks really pretty.

I didn't think it was a horrible movie and I wasn't expecting anything else than what I saw but I can't help feeling sad to see movies so soulless, so PC, so smooth...and it really makes me miss the 80-90s' bite and badassery...

Way to keep supporting shitty remakes guys But its ok...just hope you have a bad day tomorrow.

I don't care if it wins 15 Oscars (not that it will), I simply refuse to watch unnecessary remakes of classics. But, I have to admit, because of all this Robocop news I watched the original (got the special edition BR with more violence) two times this week. A perfect reminder that some things will always stand the test of time. Awesome movie (the original).

Let's remember the good times. Still one of my favourite themes of all time...

Da theme song !
