Theater Whore: RoboCop


RoboCop 6/10

When the director of your movie tells his friend “the worst experience of his life” and “for every ten ideas he has, nine are cut” followed by “It is hell here. The film will be good, but I have never suffered so much and I do not want to do it again” you know that you're in for one hell of an experience one way or another. I've been championing for this movie ever since the first images of the new RoboCop design came out and after seeing it I have to say it was...okay.


This is very different from the original movie in terms of everything except the names and the fact that it takes place in Detroit. Instead of being murdered by a gang of guys Murphy is killed by dirty cops. This film is about police corruption as much as its about evil companies doing what they need to to make sure they make as much money as possible. It gets kinda distracting with the back and forth between the company, the cops, and the family. OCP has robots in almost every country but in the U.S. They seem rather effective but scary as shit.


Murphy is blown up except for his hand, head, and lungs. He freaks right the fuck out when he sees himself. I mean, he asks to see what is left of himself and I would've had them stop once I saw that my dick was missing. His wife wants to see him and they keep putting it off and when he finally sees her she is way more understanding than I expected.
