Still not sure about this remake. especially if it doesnt have the satire of the original.

A media mogul? Funny, when I first saw the thread title I thought he'd be the police captain.

RoboCop?! Hollywood must be running out of ideas with all these remakes. Creeps.

At least Oldman said he will push for the movie to be rated R, we'll see if they can get that done.

I rewatched RoboCop about a year ago. I had to question my parents for letting me watch that as a youngin'

Sad, but true.







Anyway, I'm going to keep an open mind. Like homie above said, if they can manage to keep the wit and satire intact, I expect a dope movie, esp with todays graphics.
