Robocop is one of my top 3 movies of all time. I'm not to excited about this, although I will see it opening weekend.

Could you imagine if a real RoboCop was manufactured in bankrupt Detroit what a piece of shit it would be. LOL

The New Robocop does look cool and great, ...in my opinion, diminishing fan support, Robocop sequels didn't do as well as the first movie, ...failure of the 2 tv series and a cartoon series, ...and the fading of the Super-cop era of movies (1980-2000).

Still, I think it'll do well, hopefully it'll grab the young generation (Not my generation) audience. Plus, this movie shouldn't have a super mega budget like the Lone Ranger, to be made, so it won't have that negative bit of gossip to hinder it.

General consensus seems to be okay not great. Still meh on this.

So its a Meh then? Rated R or bust

So the visuals are great and it homages the original but is its own unique story? Sounds good to me. I could care less about the rating as the over the top gore was an element that I still find pointless in the original. Plus you can get away with a lot nowadays with a pg13 rating...just look at Lone Ranger.

So basically, everyone thought THE IRON KNIGHT was meh.

PG-13? A damn outrage! Oh well, at least Elysium looks dope, and more in the spirit of the original film. Neil Blomkamp has more respect for the Sci-Fi genre than these money grubbing hacks do.

"The ROBOCOP footage looked absolutely fantastic! The storyline exploring man & machine wrestling w/ his own soul & humanity sounds powerful."

I guess somehow they haven't seen the original?

You know, and I don't mean to be disrespectful, Detroit going bankrupt would be the perfect way to bring in OCP to effectively take over the city.

People need to stop complaining about a PG-13 rating. Many great films have been PG-13. How come you people can enjoy movies like Avengers and Man Of Steel being at that same rating, but Heaven forbid if the new RoboCop movie is? BTW, do you any of you remember Poltergeist? Yeah, that was PG for crying out loud!

"In ROBOCOP, Alex Murphy doesn't die. He's merely dramatically, robotically enhanced after being fatally wounded."
Silly me....I always thought "fatally wounded" meant dead.

Why does everything have to be watered down PG 13? I'm sick of everything being made for 15 year olds. I Love the original Robocop, but F*ck this. I'll pass

What's with the all black get-up? Even his motorcycle is black! Look twice. Save a life my ass.

Yeah, PG-13...sounds like the studios are making everything PG-13 due to that rating being a money whore nowadays.
