Old Men in hot tubs and brains with eyes are only some of the fun things to see in Robocop 2

I'm curious to see the remake mainly because of seeing these trailers. I wonder if the producers understood that the absurdity of mega-corps, military hardware being tested in Detroit, and the general comic book quality is what made them fun to watch.

sosage - 2013-08-24 ...and by currently living, I mean that we have robots battling each other in a monster movie style climax. Not so much corporations owning everything. That is just fantasy.

I think RoboCop is one of the truly perfect movies that speaks to me on every level, evidenced by the fact that I hate cops... except RoboCop.
I thought RoboCop2 was a more than worthy sequel, with some of the best moments. Kaine was a great character, and the giant robot claw junkie twitch scene is triumphant.

I thought this movie was fucking great. It was just this blast of offensive, ludicrously violent bullshit spat into your face for 2 hours and it was wonderful. I remember how the idea of a super-violent, 13-year old drug dealer was pretty much the moral panic/end of civilization at the time and the violence alone put this movie on so many lists about how horrifically immoral Hollywood was becoming.
I thought this was a brilliant sequel...not quite on the same level as if it had been Verhoeven, probably, but still...great movie.
3.....not so much.

A robocop remake might not be that bad. The Dredd reboot was one of the best films I'd seen all year.

Hey the Robocop remake might not be so bad. After all take a look at the recent Total Recall....
OH NO!

infinite zest - 2013-08-25 I feel like my generation had the best movies that you either had to sneak into or have a cool enough mom or dad to take you to (I'm of the Robocop/Total Recall/Terminator 2 generation of teens.) My dad took me to Robocop 2 and he's laughing the entire movie and I'm like "DAD STOP! THIS IS SERIOUS!!!!!!!"

infinite zest - 2013-08-25 wait.. I was 9 when this one came out. Dang.

sosage - 2013-08-25 I was 12. Unfortunately, what I think happened is that people the same age as IZ and I grew up to wind up in a position to remake these movies...and never grew out of the "DAD STOP! THIS IS SERIOUS!!!!!!!" phase. I have a feeling these are also the kids that would say, "I'd totally make an (fill in blank) movie...but my version would be, like, totally dark..." all the way into their late 20's.
