Just looking at that trailer after having watched it half a dozen times, I can say with quite some confidence that I feel the makers of this yet-another-reboot did not quite get RoboCop and are doing a piss poor job of 'updating' it.
Everything is off with this one, just as it was with Total Recall, Prometheus or The Thing. The general feel of the not-quite-dystopian, yet grimy and shoddy and angry near-future. No more Clarence Boddicker going nanananana before shooting Alex Murphy's hand off with a shotgun (yeah, you didn't see that bit on TV or that censored VHS/DVD - NOT THE SAME MOVIE WHEN IT'S CRIPPLED!), instead it looks like Murphy gets car bombed. Not quite the same, is it. No Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Dan O'Herlihy, Kurtwood Smith or Ronny Cox? They got Miguel Ferrer, and I'd only go pay to watch this movie to show him some support.
Instead, we get a rag tag band of nice-to-have actors paying off their boats, homes and golfing fees? Pretty meh, is it not.
The new RoboCop riding a motorbike looking like goddamn Kamen Rider 2013 US Edition doesn't help, either. All in all, this thing lacks respect and greatly pisses me off.
We still watch RoboCop (I'm partial to the BluRay one ever since I got that one), we still enjoy it. I love me some Verhoeven as foreplay and the basis of some less serious and more brainy human interaction. The new one looks instantly forgettable. Samuel L. Jackson is pissing me off without even trying and then there's the absolutely disgraceful misuse of Jackie Earle Haley.
You want a Verhoeven, you gotta go with Verhoeven. Accept no substitutes.
