TorQue M The movie definitely pales in comparrison to the original, but that's to be expected considering how awesome the original was. I doubt even Verhoeven would be able to make a good follow up. With that out of the way, the 2014 remake is a decent movie. Is it amazing? No. It is however a decently fun film with some good acting and great supporting cast. I'd love to see what they could do with a new RoboCop movie now. Hopefully Amazon's version lives up to the original, but even if it doesn't, it's RoboCop so they'll have me watching day one. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/11/25 Full Review Paul S Compared to the original RoboCop, this one can't really compete. It lacks the intensity and action of the first one, which made this a real downgrade. Despite its flaws, this movie is really fun to watch. The story is compelling, and it has amazing visuals. I definitely recommend it for sci-fi and action fans! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review Paul Y Went in with bad expectations because of all the bad reviews, but was pleasantly surprised at how engaging and fun this movie was. Might not be the most faithful remake but was still a fun popcorn flick regardless. Definitely deserves a higher rating. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/19/25 Full Review Gabriel M The 2014 RoboCop remake offers a visually stunning, modern take on the 1987 classic, but ultimately falls short when compared to the original. Joel Kinnaman does a good job portraying Alex Murphy, and the film brings forward relevant themes like corporate greed, surveillance, and the ethics of technology. However, the pacing is slower, and while the movie explores deeper moral questions, it sacrifices the fast-paced action and satirical elements that made the original so iconic. The special effects are impressive, and the film does a great job in updating RoboCop's design to reflect today's technological landscape. But for a movie like this, it feels like there's an absence of the kind of thrilling, high-octane action that defined the original. The 1987 RoboCop had a perfect blend of social commentary, dark humor, and intense action that kept audiences hooked. This remake, while visually appealing and well-acted, doesn't quite capture the same balance. The remake leans heavily into the drama of RoboCop's transformation and the moral questions surrounding the integration of man and machine, which is fine, but it feels like it missed an opportunity to provide more of the adrenaline-pumping action that fans expect from an action movie like this. Overall, while I appreciate the film's attempt at exploring deeper themes and giving the original concept a modern update, it lacks the same spark and intensity that made the first film a genre-defining classic. If you're a fan of the original, this remake might feel like a bit of a letdown in terms of excitement and the overall impact. It's a decent watch for those who enjoy thoughtful science fiction, but for me, the original RoboCop remains the superior film. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/06/25 Full Review Mitch W This director took a perfect formula and made it unpalatable. He completely missed. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review Aaron D Better than it has every right to be, this reboot is much darker and with more teeth than the original franchise, with tighter parts overall, even if a few elements are loose and undercooked or poorly cast.
