The question on everyone's mind was what was the point of remaking this movie? Verhoeven's peace was a classic in it's own way and his movies are best left alone, as remake of Robocop confirmed as well.
If this movie was not a remake, it could be viewed as quite decent. Even as a remake, it is not bad, though there is way too much action and CGI for my taste and the story was not as developed as well as it could be, though the original movie was not that much better in that department either. The male major roles are decently acted, but two leading female roles are somewhat lacking, though they are not horrible by any means.
I did like the brushes with the original here and there, mentioning of Mars, a familiar lady at the police checkpoint, etc. And I also liked that in this movie it is suggested stronger that everything is fantasy, while in the original it was suggested that it was reality. I am talking about the director's cut, the original theater version was kind of crap and it had a slightly different ending.
