Firstly, the film has a great cast and good performances. Not a terrible film in technical or performance terms, but certainly another pointless remake/reboot/re-imagining of a classic franchise. What is the point of doing this? I know it's for money and just in hopes that people recognize the name, but this movie may as well have NOT been about the Robocop we know.
But even without comparing it to the original...WHERE IS THE HEART or SUBSTANCE in this movie? Name it. It's nothing different than the other 100 drama/action/comedy films that have some basic evil vs. bad story. Nothing original.
Anyways: It is The same old by-the-numbers cliché garbage. Laughable script and unoriginal but worst of all: Just boring.
How many times are we going to see the same plot devices and laughable cliché characters in a movie? And even preaching to us, how about giving us something to actually think about or discuss.
Hollywood has only one move these days: Making 1-dimensional characters (innocent good guy, evil for no reason bad guy)-- Wash, rinse, repeat.
