[6.50/10] RoboCop (2014)

RoboCop (2014)

Quick Review: RoboCop himself looks million bucks, indeed, in his new, super-stylish black costume, the special effects are flawless to the point of being truly realistic, and the action bits, while very few and far between, are superbly-executed, however, this made-for-grown ups remake lacks the satirical edge and wit of the original, due to Padilha's totally different approach at telling a story that is probably a bit too deep and personal for this type of sci-fi movie, and not enough fun.

Fun is what made the first one so good.

Alex, I know right? :)
This remake feels very different to the original... and I'm not sure I mean that in a good way. Ah, I'm confused...it was great-looking, yet way too serious.
