Robocop 2014

So i just caught the new robocop movie in a mostly empty cinema (thank goodness), and i'm pleased to say that i was thoroughly entertained!

The new movie takes cues from the classic movie and adapts it to todays technology and thinking, with enough subtle homages to the original without it been a remake of the classic. This is definately a strong standalone movie, with a good cast, why, even comissioner gordon is in it! Haha, and you know who murphy's partner is? The black dood from bf4 haha!

This version focuses a bit more on the 'software' behind robo, with a kinda shocking scene which i didn't expect during his awakening. It's also less violent and gory than the originals, which is a non issue to me. Sure, there are a few loopholes in the movie, but what movie doesn't.

I still prefer the silver suit in the movie over the black one, and man, i wish HT would make a fig of it! Overall, a worthwhile watch, 4/5! :)
