The original was on TV last night and I was able to sit through about 30 minutes of it. I stand by my original assertion: The original ROBOCOP is actually a pretty bad movie. Peter Weller is great in it. Sadly, he's the only thing good in it. The rest of the movie (acting, dialogue, plot, effects) is really, really terrible.

So the reviews are starting to come out and I don't think anyone is going to be surprised.

I saw it today. Glad I didn't opt for IMAX, not necessary to spend the xtra $ .
intersting concept of just what we are (consciousness or physical being) ,good acting,(whoa, Michael Keaton has not aged well) Gary Oldman and the actor who plays Murphy were very good.
I was in a 'going to the movie mood' and this fit the bill, nothing else new I was interested in, this is drought time at theaters, but I didn't find it at all 'terrible' No oscar for this one but a good ,popcorn Saturday afternoon show. I found it entertaining not near as terrible as you all are expecting.

I guess they saved whatever of him was left? I dont think one should dissect a movie like this too much.
I didn't analyze, I just ate my popcorn

Robocop should have been what Deadpool was, with less poo poo humor and no X Men, I know the actor from Robocop is now in the Suicide Squad movie, does anyone know if there will be a sequal to this Robocop?

I missed this one, Though I loved the original. The original was a big success that spawned 2 (though inferior) sequels, A TV show and various toys. It was also known for the satirical commercials. Robocop even showed up on WCW wrestling to rescue String from a jail cell!

Never once have I seen the remake on cable though which is interesting.

I rented the remake through Netflix. What a forgettable, uninteresting remake.
Especially if you seen and like the original, skip this disappointing flick.

The TV show "Sledge Hammer!" did a good parody of "Robocop" in the episode "Hammeroid".


Here's my favorite scene:
