In RoboCop, the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Overseas, their drones have been used by the military for years, but have been forbidden for law enforcement in America. Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the home front, and they see a golden opportunity to do it. When Alex Murphy – a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit – is critically injured, OmniCorp sees their chance to build a part-man, part-robot police officer. OmniCorp envisions a RoboCop in every city and even more billions for their shareholders, but they never counted on one thing: there is still a man inside the machine.

SUIT #1: Hey guys... let's take an adrenaline-soaked cartoony slice of high octane, wryly satirical and funny ultraviolent 80s action, and re-imagine it as a slick, soulless, irony- free, pretentious, odiously self important emo fest that goes on for too long. Great idea yes?SUIT #2: You sir, are a genius.
*MAJOR SPOILERS* Before you read my review there will be a lot of spoilers for this movie and they are really a lot of honestly from a fan of RoboCop like me. RoboCop (2014) is a peace of s**t wasted unnecessary reboot! RoboCop is rated Page-13 and it has nothing to see in here at all. This and Terminator Genisys are the worst reboot movies ever! This is the worst movie I have ever saw! It doesn't have a heart, soul, adrenaline it doesn't have any humanity left, I can't feel for this character here at all! This movie sucks ass it is time waster, boring, lame useless, dumb underwhelming, uneven, poorly-paced, and insincerely melodramatic peace of s**t! Stop remaking and rebooting the classics already! I hate this movie I hate, "hate" it! Joel Kinnaman is a STINKER cop in this movie and I will tell you why. So basically Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) get's blown away in car by bomb so he wakes up and suddenly he is a cyborg who supposed to be a Robocop. So his suit is black now not gray why? he has a human hand left on him self why? Not a titan like the original RoboCop had. His helmet has a red laser, Trough in tier movie STINKER cop doesn't do anything. Has an exercises and he runs from his problems like a whinny bitch he is. He has a wife who loves him the way he is and he doesn't lose his family like the original RoboCop did. I don't mourn for him and I don't feel sad for this brainless moron at all. So Alex on a parade shots a guy in front of a kid in front of his own son shots an unarmed criminal "disgrace"! Lewis is now a black dude not a women and trough in tier movie he doesn't do anything. The character Lewis has nothing to do in here at all and he isn't in a movie much at all. He is missing he doesn't even support his partner at all! Murphy should have been called Robocop trough inter movie he wasn't called Robocop but Murphy. He wasn't part of machine or part of a human he wasn't. He was just a selfish dickhead in the movie who cared only for him self and his stupid ugly wife and his kid. Chief Karen Dean is now a black women instead of Sergeant Warren Reed (Robert DoQui) what really made me angry is that Chief is a corrupt cop in this movie and she set up Alex Murphy they ruined the characters! They ruined Murphy, Lewis and Warren Reed! Where are the bad guys? Where is some memorable bad guy in this movie? Where are some memorable lines in this movie at all? Robocock kills cyborgs like in a video game and drives like a Speedy Gonzales. He doesn't drive a car and he transports him self like a Transformer he is. Cyborgs ED-209 don't do much of a thing they are wasted and they don't do trough inter movie jack of sh**t. The music is terrible from Pedro Bromfman they don't use the original soundtrack from Basil Poledouris and song I Fought the Law is wasted peace of sh**t of a song!Gary Oldman as Dr. Dennett Norton sucks he is wasted, his character is terrible and he has no heart. Miguel Ferrer in the original RoboCop was better actor and better human being character than a wasted Gary Oldman is. I hate Alex Murphy's wife and his stupid son I wish he would lost them so we could morn for him but no! I wish he would be bad ass but Joel Kinnaman was a pussy in this movie he didn't do jack sh**t in here. Peter Weller the original RoboCop prevented two armed robberies, a rape which he shoot the rapist in the dick, he bust a drug factory on by him self, he stopped and punched a terrorist and saved the hostages in the mayor office, he stopped a violent gang by himself and he stopped a corrupt business man. This Robocop Joel Kinnaman didn't do anything trough whole movie. Michael Keaton I am sorry I love you in Batman and Batman Returns but in here I don't like you at all and I don't like your character because he is a terrible villain I have ever saw! You can not play a bad guy well believable enough in here at all. Where is the action in this movie the cast and the director promise us? There isn't any. I am very disappointed with this movie!The ORIGINAL is Miles way better movie than this STINKER is! The original has everything good characters, good script, good action, heart, soul, humanity, adrenaline, sadness it is Hard rated-R that's how you do a Robocop movie. Not a PG-13 movie like is RoboCrap 3 who got his ass kicked and this movie! What is Samuel L. Jackson doing in here at all? Jesus he is terrible. This futuristic world in this movie is terrible.And yes I am comparing this movie with the original, why shouldn't I? It is based on the original movie. José Padilha has no clue how to direct a good action movie and in my opinion I don't see this movie been a good action film at all, not just because it is different that is just not the case, but because it is RoboCock (2014).If you like this film "fantastic" your opinion but I hate it to death!I am rating it 1/10 I don't want to type anymore and Jackie Earle Haley please retire! You made a remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street which was a abomination and you remake this movie that was a disgrace retire!
I watched Paul Verhoeven's film as soon as it was released and I was impressed by the violence but also by the script's intelligence. I confess that I was anxious to watch the new version of Verhoeven's film, even because director José Padilha is my compatriot (Brazilian). However, I was disappointed by the weak script, the superficiality of the characters and the drastic changes of the original film. You may accuse me of being old fashioned, but overcoming a classic lately has been an impossible mission. Another example is the classic Total Recall, also by Verhoeven.
This must be the worst RoboCop movie in my opinion, and it has nothing to do with nostalgia because I am not even from that time.The movie starts with a little shooting, which is fine because I don't want to start the movie with a lot of shooting and violence or gore. The story has to build itself up a little.What I did not like is that it took so long that it had some action in it again. After Alex Murphy survives the explosion the next 30 minutes is about how they are building him and him learning to accept it.After this it goes into some boring shooting simulation against another robot, and Alex fails. Then they again go into enhancing him.He now has "Battle Mode". When he is not fighting crime he is Alex Murphy and acts like a human, but when he is engaged in battle the machine takes over and now he RoboCop.Now I did like that he was not slow and so robot like when he moves like the original RoboCop. This one can run, jump and move more freely all together. However when he is just walking he does not feel natural but like a robot just like the original RoboCop. Because he can do all those other things it is bugging me that he walks like that.Since I am already referring to the original RoboCop I will also say that I do not like the new design. The original looked so good and it was much more simple than the new one, the new one looks to advanced for my taste. And he color black was unappealing to me. In RoboCop 3 Alex had that machine-gun arm and his standard gun hidden inside his leg. That machine-gun arm was awesome and it felt like an upgrade exclusive to him. The new RoboCop also has the standard gun but next to that hes uses normal weapons the humans would also be able to use.However, despite all what I have said the movie gets very interesting in the last 20 minutes. Although it is short I will give it a chance.Him finding out who is behind everything and the shooting and the driving is all interesting. He also defied the protocol and what was called "Directive 4:Do not oppose OCP officers" at the end.There are also reasons why the action is stupid. RoboCop just walks in the middle and when he screws up he gets showered with bullets. Because he acts like this he kills the last man but also gets destroyed as he was already damaged. Then we see him being repaired AGAIN.Lets talk about references to the original RoboCop. I wont be talking about things like his gun because this movie is of course a reboot (remake) of the original movie. The only thing that made me think of the original is when someone said "I wouldn't buy that for a dollar" referring to one of the many commercials that the original first 3 movies had. That is what this movie also lacks, the humor that the originals had. The commercials were a funny comedic relief, in this movie it is not only that the commercials are not there, I didn't laugh a single time during this movie.Now to sum it up: According to me this movie is crap for the most part and the worst RoboCop movie yet
