One Early RoboCop Reaction Calls The Remake Better Than The Original

Not a lot of effects rousing up emotions when you think about it.

Yup. Also, the drug dealer character didn't really seem to evoke any emotions, either. They should just not have had that character in the movie. Murphy could have been injured in some car accident, and it would have had more of an impact on the movie.

What I found really useless was taking away RoboCop's emotions, only to give them back like 5 minutes after.

Yah, and that's about as long as it takes for the Gary Oldman's character to go from company man to redeemed scientist with a conscience.

Pretty much. It felt as if writers were done with the script and then someone said: "Damn, we forgot about Forman's dad! Well, we could use another shootout and add another 20 minutes to the film."

Sargent D-Bag was enough as RoboCop's main physical antagonist that needs to be defeated. His motivations for hating RoboCop weren't clear. Maybe more screen time would have helped.

Emotions are powerful stuff. They can overright programming.
