It felt as if they should have developed their ideas better but instead, they rushed it, and gave us a weak product that while entertaining on the shoot 'em up part, didn't have much else going for it.[sblock=Respose]Gary Oldman's character had potential, but he wasn't developed enough. The transformation from carring doctor to company man, to redeemed scientist was far too quick, and there really was't much conflict. He just did things because he wanted to. [/sblock][sblock=Response]I've read these studies. The basic idea is that your brain has made the choice before you are aware of that choice. I liked that the movie took this part on. The doctor made changes to Robocop's brain chips, and he explained that the program made the choices and then sent these signals to Robocop's brain to make him think that this was a choice that he had made. This had great potential, but I really think they screwed it up by making him rewrite the programing with his "emotions." That just killed it.[/sblock][sblock=Response]First, I have to admit I was very disappointed with the new ED209s. They seemed so easily destroyed, and underused. They didn't appear as a competing product, as the originals did. I know, the new humanoid robots were supposed to be the competing product, but they weren't. The ls in the movie took them out. They were only really used at the start of the movie, and in the training scenes. The original ED209s played the role of the competing, yet flawed product, much better. As for Sam Jackson, and his show, I did like that, but again, underdeveloped. It was a funny parody of a Fox News style show, and a decent way to comment on the media' ability to influence the public, but they just didn't do much with it. I mean, who was Sam Jackson's character? Was he in collusion with Keaton's character? Why was he so interested in drones being on U.S. street? He just seems like an extra that has a few lines. He had amazing potential, but they just didn't bother to do much with it.[/sblock]</blockquote>
