Holy fuck, its 04:38 in the morning and that was fantastic, lol
I thought maybe this was made because there was a trailer. 
I like the cast. I can conceive of there being a smart way to update this, but I'm not sure I have faith in that being what they want to do.
It can't be worse than the Total Recall redo... right?
Oh man, I'd never seen that. So good.

It's not the sleekness that bothers me, it is the fact that it looks like a guy in a suit. If they wanted to go sleek they should have used CGI to make it obvious that it wasn't just a guy in a suit, make the limbs be something that looked too slender, or jointed slightly differently or something.

The clunkiness of Robocop was his best feature. He wasn't human and it was apparent with everything he did. His movements, his pinpoint shooting accuracy, his rigid adherence to the law. It made Robocop finding his humanity that much sweeter.
To this day Robocop's ending is my favorite ending to any movie ever.

I'm giving this a chance, soley because the directors previous Elite Squad movies were great. I still the suit looks fine, though. I won't hate this until the first trailer rolls out at least. 
The appropriate response.

Exactly. The original was an actual good movie, not some trashy flick that's only good for nostalgia value. It even got a Criterion Collection release.
Is the new Robocop design supposed to resemble a dildo?

Youtube is a godsend then.
I like the size of that gun
it would be a cool airsoft piece.
I like the size of that gun
It really bothers me that he has a fleshy hand. Even Bob Morton knew better.
Which would make it a good candidate for a remake. We're talking movies here, not video games.
Ever since I heard this was getting a remake, I thought 'Why?'
Well, for $$$ obviously, but if ever a film doesn't need a reboot, it's Robocop. Same exact story with Total Recall. The best parts of that film were the bits they copied straight from the original. The stuff they added was mostly bad, and the film as a whole was highly forgettable.
Robocop was the film of my childhood, fuckin love that shit, and it holds up incredibly well.
The ED-209 reveal, Emil melting, that gun, and so many quotable lines. Even the TV version from the 90s is enjoyable for it's horrendous dub of all the cursing (that armed robber in the store screaming 'WHY ME? WHY ME? gets me every time).
Some films cry out for a remake. Clash of the Titans for example, even though that turned out to be utter dross, or Tron. Robocop is not one of them.
Calling it now -
I (will not) LIKE IT!!!!!!!

Why not make a whole face shield if the mouth area is going to look that stupid?

February release confirms all my worst fears about this movie.
I can deal with that, but the gun should be in his robotic hand.

This is basically a watered down looking iron man suit in black.
I really hope this doesn't bomb.

its now classified as a Documentary.

but I am a sheep
Design reminds me of...
whole Robocop showing its mouth thing was clearly inspired by Judge Dredd and I guess they just wanna keep that mood

Blah, was hoping for a trailer or something. I need to see this mess in motion.
Too bad it's a taser...
Yep, especially after Total Recall, they know they have a bomb on their hands.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Part of me hates it because it loses the tokusatsu reference found in old Robocop.

True. But back then things weren't horrible
My fondest Robocop memory is probably rewinding the locker scene multiple times to see the boobs. Pretty sure that was the first time I saw a breast.
Yes. Because a movie should bomb purely because you don't like the suit. God forbid it actually turns out good.

He didn't say it should bomb because of the suit. Just stated two random facts.
1. The suit is bad.
2. This movie is going to bomb.
But, this movie is not going to bomb because of the costume. It's going to bomb because it is a seemingly worthless remake with a shit script that is going to be pushed out in the dead of winter with no marketing.

It's such a triumphant moment. Finding the good in the bad, just fuck yea. Stand tall.
Wow, youtube comments pointed out two things i never noticed.
There's a random pair of legs (crew?) in the holster shot behind him, and that his voice does become more and more human throughout the movie as he rediscovers himself.

Damn you. Never noticed the legs. They had to know they were going to be in the shot. Must have just figured if they didn't move, nobody would notice the out of focus legs.

How do you figure that it will get CGI enhancements? If they we're going to make CGI enchancements he wouldn't be wearing a full suit, just take a look at RDJ set pics from Iron Man 2. I hate to break it to you but what you see in those pics is basically what you will see in the movie.

A big problem is that the exposed hand makes i feel even more like a suit rather than a robotic body.
