The original was a biting satire..this looks like straight-ahead action. Like the cast and the suit looks cool, but I smell PG-13 blandness wafting off this puppy. RoboRemake also comes out in the cinematic graveyard of Jan.-Feb. Ominous signs, so many of them.

but how will Robocop identify with his wife and child!?!?!?! THE HUMAN ELEMENT CANNOT BE HELD BY A MACHINE!
Why does he have a human hand? I remember one of the parts of his construction in the first movie involved them deciding whether or not to keep his remaining good arm, and they don't. But now? They keep it. Why?

They should have given this to the director of Dredd, whoever that is and make it R-Rated.
I think Dredd was a better Robocop movie than this will be.
It's so he can shake people's hands, seriously.
Seriously? I think I'm going to cry. I normally don't get upset about remakes of the things I love, but Robocop... Robocop is a whole other thing for me. And this makes me sad.
I mean, as long as it still has the satirical aspect it could still be alright, I guess, but I don't like the tone this trailer sets at all. Robocop was kind of a simple movie and now they've got like 30 characters all talking a lot of dialogue just in the trailer. But I still can't get over the simple fact that they're trying to remake a Paul Verhoeven movie without getting the R rating. Then there's the fact that Murphy doesn't look like a weird monster man under the visor, but if I start going down this list it's going to turn into "I don't like anything about this that isn't like the original Robocop."
I know being reactionary to one trailer is a very "internet" thing to do but this looks fucking terrible and seems to feature nothing that actually makes RoboCop great.
Michael Keaton don't want no scrubs. "The Other Guys" ruined my ability to see him as any other character.
Pretty much sums up every problem I have with 'character' action movies, an over-reliance on cheap CGI and green screen sets, something just feels off when it looks more like a video game cutscene than a film.
I wouldn't even waste my bandwidth pirating the thing. That looks fucking TERRIBLE. Like there isn't even a word in the English language that can describe how bad this looks. I... urgh.
This actually makes me sad because RoboCop has always been one of my favourite movies. Now I have to make a distinction between the incredible one from the 80's and the clusterfuck that hits a theater near you next year. And this is just going to absolutely kill the franchise with how shit it's going to be. Bob Morton made a mistake...
What is this bullshit!? Why is he not walking like a robot? I hope Peter Weller fire bombs the premiere. A stupid car bombing is what fucks him up? I think I will just get a bottle of whiskey and watch the original when this gets released instead. Fucking remakes are horrible nowadays. Did they seriously replace Lewis with a guy and even change the name from Alex to Jack? They couldn't even keep the name? Fuck this. Fuck this. Fuck this.
Also though: guys, stop getting worked up about them making crappy new versions of shit you like. Turns out the old stuff is still there. And there's going to be a lot more of this going on so get used to it. Just pretend it didn't happen and enjoy your old media.
Still, the entire Robocop franchise besides the first movie is a bunch of rubbish. If anything this seems pretty on par with a lot of what Robocop has been known for churning out. Sucks why they'd then have to go and drudge the only good thing about the series through the mud, though >=/
As long as it has that red substance we 80´s children love it will be ok??? :( god I cant belive Im saying this but I kinda miss late 80´s-90´s action bloodfest ó-rama flicks....
Good, as most trailers these days this basically shows the whole movie except for the killing blow to the bad guy in the end. Saved me some time and money. Ka-ching!
Also, I like Jackson, Oldman and Kinnaman but I don't think the best actors in the world could save this. It's a pure cash grab. Ka-ching! again.
A great supporting cast, but I have a feeling this isn't going to be a very good movie. Although I have been wrong, since the trailer for Dredd was hilariously bad but the movie was surprising (dumb) fun.
Interesting trailer, seems like it can go either way. I think it good to explore other aspects of a character/franchise in a reboot but it's missing one of the biggest ideas in the original.
One of the best things from the original movie was that your protagonist gets brutally murdered by a gang only to come back and exact revenge on them, but it's done in a way that explores how he has to deal with losing his previous life that haunts him through memories. This is PG-13 so it couldn't get away with having your main character shot to pieces in the first half hour of the movie but having him injured in a car bomb explosion seems like kind of lame reasoning to force him into a robotic body.
A bare hand coupled with the rubber black suit looks like someone running around in cosplay but the helmet looks good. Some of that CG didn't look too great but there's a great cast so hopefully we don't have another Total Recall remake in our hands.
Nice casting choices, I must say. Jackson, Keaton, Oldman (?), Rorschach. The suit does look kinda weird, I get a Berserk-Griffith vibe from it when the visor is down. That said, Paul Verhoeven should do a live action Berserk movie! :P
