Noooooo leave it alone, Robocop is perfect as it is.
Yes. It's just the right blend of threat, horror, cheesiness and humour. The effects are not overdone and the acting and direction are nicely pitched.
I can just imagine a modern version:eek:
the suit sucks balls big time
and whats the point of remaking Robocop anyway??! the original is a black comedy sympolising the greedy 80s - that won't be captured in this new movie. which no doubt will involve a load of crap cgi.
How can a modern film manage to produce a less-realistic-looking suit than a film from the 80s? I'm not even referring to it being generic and less interesting than the original design. I simply mean that the original Robocop looked more convincing as a cyborg than this. This just looks like a man in a rubber suit wearing a motorcycle helmet.
All involved in its design and build should be fired for incompetence. Absolutely terrible.
Eurgh! that suit looks awful...give us back the classic look!! he even has one human hand! Bob Morton needs to walk on set and say "I thought we agreed on total body prosthesis, now lose the hand okay!"
Let's face it this was always going to end up with the high possibility of being crap.
If the rumours are true it's got studio interference all over it which never bodes well (Happened to the Thing remake/prequel)
On top of that the script has had a bad review...none of it is looking good.
Will end up on the ever growing pile of remakes that have sucked.......
But the people in charge won't care because it's Robocop and it's bound to make a few quid and we'll always have "the original" as they say...so bleh!

The original suit still looks better
The only thing this movie has going for it is some good casting.

Robocop-out.

In your opinion, which ones have worked?
I personally don't like the new Batman franchise, but based on the reviews it has been getting, i'd say it worked.
The new Judge Dredd movie is also getting good reviews as did the Startrek reboot and the latest Bond movies.
Some others for your perusal:

This robocop looks much worse -- bordering on a farce -- maybe they will overlay this with cgi or something , hopefully.
Perhaps what we are seeing is simply his "undergarments" so to speak. The silver parts of the original suit may be removable armour in this version.
If you look at the black suit he is wearing:

It does look reminiscent of the black parts of the original Robocop armour

US release date moved from August 9th to Febuary 7th 2014.
Make of this what you will.
Massive mistake, but not a surprise
That's not so bad, movies such as Taken, Red Dawn, The Dark Knight and Aliens vs Preditor all got a PG-13 raitings.
Red Dawn and AVP suffered for it. They should have had blood galore to show the extremity and gruesomeness of their stories.
