ROBOCOP 2014 - Worst Or Best Movie Ever?

Definitely not the best, definitely not the worst. It was a good movie. That is all.

good movie, not very good, but very enternaining

Is it as bad as The Avengers or The Dark Knight?

@Repoman, fair point. I liked that they spent time developing Murphy. Unfortunately that meant he override his directives very quickly and the baddies went down easily. But over all I thought it was quite fun. I was really against this remake but I was pleasantly surprised by it.

Children's version of the 80s classic

Knew it wouldn't be above average

Still waiting for a Dredd sequel

Like I just want to hear people's opinions

Just came back from seeing this on an IMAX screening and it was better than I thought it would be. Its not as good as the original, but still decent.

Had this been an original film i.e. no 80's version, I think I'd have liked it a lot more, however you can't help but compare with the original which doesn't do it any favours due to its PG rating.

There's no point doing a remake if its going to be the same movie shot-for-shot, as the original and since this is not an adaptation from a book or comic, it has no business trying to mimic the style of Paul Vehoeven's original. That's basically what most of the reviews are moaning about instead of judging the movie on its own merit.

Thankfully this is a very good retelling of the original in its own style that's a lot more evenly paced, character driven and political production while still having some well delivered humor and good (not overly spectacular) action scenes. While the original is a masterpiece of gung-ho satire and gore, this is much more grounded film with some excellent performances form born again Michael Keaton and the ever reliable Gary Oldman. The original was inspired by the Judge Dredd comics and this is another prominent feature of this version, especially on the impressive gun-play while on the bike sequences. Even Sam Jackson's satirical sequences shine while punctuating the movie each major change of events and some genuine laugh out loud moments. The well charted progression of main character ends with a baton to be picked up by the next film in the franchise.

Makes a change from the spectacle obsessed regular Hollywood flicks, its actually a very decent scifi tale designed to spearhead a franchise unlike the original that was an outstanding budget flick that spawned inferior make-it-up-as-you-go sequels that failed to mimic its style successfully instead of finding their own strengths. No way as entertaining as the original because its not designed to be an adult satire but that does not mean it fails to deliver a good movie, which it does. 7/10

One thing for sure, this reboot will be a million times better than Robocop 2, 3, The Series, Prime Directive, The Animated Series, and Alpha Commando.

People, as seen in just this comments section and in general, were going to hate this movie no matter what. It didn't matter if it was good, they would bash it continuously because it's touching something from their "sacred" childhood. Robocop is one of the biggest byproduct of the 80's, a glorified action film that because most saw it here at a young age is considered holy and should never be tampered with. It's Hollywood, nothing is sacred because it shouldn't be sacred. This is the problem with nostalgia with movies, we only accept our idea, our version of a character or a franchise as the only version. Our version being the one we grew up with. And damn all those who want to do a new version or "reboot" the series, how dare they try to PG-13 this film that had over the top gore for no [frick]ing reason! How dare the studio, a money-making corporation, try to make more money!
Meh, I'm done needlessly ranting. I need a drink, happy Friday!

Watched it last night & thought it was ok but needed to be more like Dredd in atmosphere & tone, it was alright tho, wasn't expecting it to blow me away with a rating of 12a

@DatNerdyKid

The Avengers was complete shit?!? Yeah, you hath spoken (poorly) and we recognize poor trolling when we see it. Nice try.

Good to see some people here with an open mind, and JamesMan, your DEAD ON. Listen to that man. Everyone is being positively surprised by this reboot, and I'm glad for it, it's what's best for the characters t the moment. Otherwise, robocop is dead and buried and will never live on as Batman has for 75+ years. Robocop deserves a 75+ year legacy of different interpretation long after we are gone!
