I'm tempted to give this movie a benefit of a doubt

I'm not. But I'll see it anyway, cause sci-fi+baggage.

I read an interview with the director of the new Robocop movie where he was talking about all the symbolism and meaning behind the original movie. I don't think he really paid attention to the original movie when he saw it. Either that, or he didn't really see it. He totally missed all the good stuff in the original.

And I really hate that they left him with a human hand. Of all the body parts to leave human, why the hand?

 

[Kramodlog]

Well, with the human hand he can [redacted].

It wouldn't be hard to be better than the original. The first two really annoy me as there was so much symbolism and emotional set up that was abandoned later in the film for mindless shoot-'em-up nonsense. Balancing those out would be a big improvement.

 

[Kramodlog]

Lol, in the new Robocop overwrites his programming with emotions. Just that is so lame it make me want to puke.

I'll reserve judgment until --or if-- i see the reboot. Frankly, Paul Verhooven --in full 'biting the hand that's feeding him' mode-- directing satiric, near-future, dystopian SF, starring Paul Weller is going to be hard to beat.

Very hard to beat.

I've seen several references to the orginal movie's ultra violence, but really, I don't remember it being any more violent than any other action movie. Plenty of violence, sure. But a notable increase? No.

Same number of bullets shot, esplosions and people killed that typical action flicks, but with more blood and gore. That was the big difference.
