This movie is gonna do dredd numbers.
They are trying too hard to make robocop like Nolan's dark knight it ain't gonna work.

we haven't even seen a trailer yet so who knows what the tone is going to be.

They can fix all of this "guy in a suit" stuff by actually opening him up at various points, probably with some terminator style battle damage.
Not even sure what this means.
They should have made him look more robotic and gave him some gun metal coloring. Read the script to this that got leaked online. It was alright but really hope they changed some stuff.
Liked the whole showing what's left of him descriptions.
Don't think the movie will bomb, but it will not have any legs.

Robocop 2 might win the award for greatest gulf in quality between original and sequel. It's so so so bad.
Take out the kid, the whole robocop being a friendly robot cop, and you have a way better movie.
Now Robocop 3 was shit. smh saw that crap in the theater.

In theory, the cast should have produced the greatest movie of all time. Chris Lambert, Sean Connery, Michael Ironside.
You may be right, all I can remember from Robocop 2 is some dude named Cain (Cane? Kane?) and a drug of some sort? I've erased most of that shit-stain from my memory.
Edit: Yeah, I've never seen Highlander 2 due to being warned off it. TBF though, I love the original but it hasn't aged well at all.
Damn I like Highlander 2, it's not that bad
Why not pick 3 or the one with the dude from the tv show.

No, it is that bad. Just utterly terrible and completely divorced from the first one.

Think about what you're saying. Fucking aliens from Zeist, man.
Highlander 3: The Apology thankfully retcons that shite out, but tbh I'd never recommend anything other than the first.
I saw Highlander for the first time about two years ago. Really liked it, although it's very much a product of its time. One of the most 80's movies I've ever seen.

That helmet/visor looks like it belongs as an option for a halo multiplayer skin. Looks fucking terrible.

I think the suit looks fine.

Who are they getting to play Boddicker?
Is this real life

I don't like the new design. Sure it looks cool, but it looks more like a guy wearing some kind of power suit than a cyborg.

remake's got a cool ass supporting cast but fuck this shit. i think some directors should have their films untouched. verhoeven is one of them.
I am just realizing the amount of blood caps on the guy makes Sonny in Godfather look like an amateur

Is this going to be tongue-in-cheek, or is it going to be unintentionally hokey?

What are you talking about? They only MADE one Highlander film.

CGI blood ain't got nothing on this. Wish Dredd utilized practical effects more.

The Crow has had numerous sequels and a shitty tv-series, so a remake is the least if its problems.
Actually, so has Robocop.

Damn now that might be one of life's most difficult questions. Both movies were products of their time and modernizing either of them is going to take away a lot of what made them so special. The action and music for both are going to be dramatic downgrades, and both films were highly dependent on some incredible performances from their leads even though Weller doesn't typically get the credit he deserves.I'm going to say Robocop will probably be less shitty only because Michael Keaton is in it and I can't imagine the Crow remake doing anything right.
I still don't understand doing Draven's story again. The Crow lends itself to different protagonists and time periods that it just seems so unnecessary. They should have gone with a female victim and turned it into a borderline exploitation revenge film.
In theory, the cast should have produced the greatest movie of all time. Chris Lambert, Sean Connery, Michael Ironside.
Available on 8mm?
I don't know what that is, but it's not Robocop. This is Robocop.
Seeing this pic, it seems to me the new suit is basically like the old suit, sans silver armor, like an interior armor.
Maybe with this being "how does a man become a machine" story, the remake ends with them slapping the silver armor on - possibly as a result of unforeseen damage caused during the course of the film, where the engineers considered him able to withstand a ton a damage and being wrong.
So hopefully the remake is more "Robocop Begins".
The human hand looks so out of place. It makes him really look like a guy in a suit versus a full on cyborg. It also kind of gives the impression that they lost a glove during the shoot and just said fuck it. I don't mind the black suit, I just think the whole thing should be shiny like the helmet.

He may have a human arm that is just armored. In the original Robocop they do leave his arm attached but Bob says full artificial prosthesis so they take it off.
There's people who think the first movie wasn't as ridiculous?
Yeah, I know. I just think it looks off and winds up undermining the whole design.

I wonder if they leave his arm on for some sort of "fingerprint identification" in order to use the handgun.
Stupid, I know - especially in a movie about a robotic man with a hundred other different ways to allow positive identification between two objects. Hollywood finds a way.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Someone photoshopped the suit to be gun-metal colored, and I thought it looked pretty good.
I would have been fine with that. Black suit just bothers me immensely.
My main problem with this is I am completely opposed to a human hand pulling the trigger on the weapon... I think they severely lost the plot on that.

I didn't know there was so much hate for Robocop 2. I thought it was good fun and the kid didn't bother me.
It's Irvin Kershner yall

I didn't *hate* Robocop 2, but it's vastly inferior to the first. Robocop 3 on the other hand is the worst thing ever.
