Has anybody seen the robocop remake? Is it worth watching. I was thinking about seeing  this movie today. Any thoughts?


It's an 'okay' movie in it's own right, but as a reboot to one of the classic over-the-top violent action movies of the late 80's it falls short. Peter Weller played it with much more tortured soul and inner conflict of "am I man or machine" that the current actor does. Much of the violence is also waaay turned down due to PG-13 (USA) rating.

As others have stated here, last year's Judge Dredd reboot was done much better. A big improvement of the Stallone cheese-fest (entertaining as it was...)

 

Oh I know, even though from pretty much every angle the original Dredd was abhorrent, it basically made it absolutely hilarious.  Not to mention the 'Who can overact the most' competition between Stallone and Assante hah.  The new one was far better in all categories, and even gets bonus marks in the 'No Rob Schneider' category.

But, Robocop really didn't have those issues, from the first time I heard of the reboot, I simply didn't view it as having the same kinds of holes as Judge Dredd.
