Holy shit, Robocop! They really have a thing for you. When I first heard that director, Jose Padilha (Elite Squad movies), was directing this back in Fantastic Fest 2011, I got excited. But, as time went on and I started seeing images, my interest dropped. I saw the original Robocop and part 2 several times during my childhood. Haven't seen them since. So I can't really compare this remake. Now, I had the chance to finally see it. It wasn't as bad as I thought. A lot of brutal stuff in the beginning. It did remind me a little bit of Elite Squad. Love Michael Keaton. He does what he does best: going nuts. Gary Oldman is cool as usual. The Robocop actor himself was okay. I don't know why but I didn't like Samuel L. Jackson's character. He kept ruining the mood for me. Other than that and the fact that they rushed the first act that I didn't really connect well with Murphy, everything else was fairly entertaining. Would've wanted a bigger payoff towards the end.
Not bad for a rental for a one night stand of entertainment.
