I for one can't understand why a trailer would present a movie about a Robot Cop as a generic action movie instead of focusing on any deeper themes. This is the same asinine "Not my Robocop" whining that's been happening since the first pictures leaked.

Except that post is doing the exact same thing, whining about how it's not True To Robocop based on some pictures and ninety seconds of scenes that are arranged in a different order adn context from the final movie. Glad that's all it takes to deem a movie "soulless" these days.

DeclaredYuppie posted:I'm pretty sure the movies they've made are 100% actually real things. Like they exist in the world, and are not mere illusions an evil demon has inflicted upon our senses. That sounds like a pretty accurate description of RLM actually.

I too am angered by unrealistic firearms in a movie about a cyborg police officer. Are you serious?

Jefferoo posted:Ah yes, I too am condescendingly smug and dismissive of anyone who isn't instantly excited for a heavy CG remake void of distinctive art direction This isn't even true quote:or making any attempt to get the viewer to care about the world there-in. Glad you can tell this from 90 seconds of clips. quote:It's not like the character design is entirely reminiscent of every other generic videogame space marine design in existence. Perhaps a modern Robocop looking like the popular media conception of a Cool Soldier Guy Woo Hoo is the point? Seriously dude you started off by complaining about how unrealistic something is in a movie about a cyborg cop who stores his gun in his leg and then followed it up with a bunch of sound and fury signifying that you're mad about a remake. That's what I was making fun of you for, nothing else, but since you brought it up edit: Michael Shannon isn't even in this movie. BENGHAZI 2 fucked around with this message at 03:06 on Sep 8, 2013 |

He is literally presented as an action figure in this shot. Not that this is a startling piece of information, I just love that the "Look at these sexy KILLING MACHINES" thing isn't, apparently, just a fluke. BENGHAZI 2 fucked around with this message at 14:19 on Sep 8, 2013 |

Swiftboat Rookie posted:Knowing that the remake is eschewing that in favor of the vaguely plot-related wanderings of modern blockbusters is the biggest offense to me. Can we knock it off with this bullshit "Well the movie is OBVIOUSLY not going to do this because it wasn't in the sixty seconds of trailer" garbage? For gently caress's sake, people.

Efexeye posted:\The entire character arc changes when it's a car bomb and his wife (apparently) gets a say in what's done with the body instead of the embodiment of the big bad actually murdering Murphy. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Perhaps we should wait and see how it is actually handled before dismissing it as a bad thing!

PaganGoatPants posted:His voice is so human. Ugh. Once again, the new Robocop is OCP trying to humanize drones. They don't want him to sound like a robot. Him sounding human is kinda the point. Could we all stop doing this "Ugh it's not like the original, that makes it automatically bad" poo poo? Please? BENGHAZI 2 fucked around with this message at 15:22 on Jan 25, 2014 |

Slasherfan posted:Appear toy there was a screening for Robocop. SErious post: Some blowjob with a blog is like the least reputable source and the most likely to have his mind made up that the movie is poo poo and not like the original at all to begin with. I'd give a gently caress if there was anybody left writing reviews who I actually trusted besides the CR guys.

WarLocke posted:This 'rebuttal' that gets dragged out whenever someone actually has reservations about this flick is getting real old, honestly. So is everyone saying "Ugh this doesn't have the passion or the wit of the original" and making up their minds before they even see the loving thing.

LeJackal posted:Seems like your issue is an inability to perceive passion juxtaposed against souless corporate formulation. That's not what he's saying at all though, he's saying that most people don't bother looking for that subtext. Look how many people think Starship Troopers isn't a satire, for gently caress's sake. Jesus Christ let's all stop blowing Robert Cop.

LeJackal posted:Its origin is from laziness with the CG, not a deliberate stylistic choice. I'm glad you can evaluate this from a combined fifteen minutes of footage. AdmiralViscen posted:I don't know how anyone older than 15 could miss the satire, especially if they were watching it at the time of it's original release. People think Starship Troopers isn't a satire. Don't ever underestimate people's insistence tht poo poo is straight-faced.

LeJackal posted:So your argument is basically that the 15 minutes of trailer footage we have seen are not at representative of the movie at large? (Also that I'm a chode.) Flat out dismissal of any possibility of anything good because of theoretical laziness isn't speculating. It's making up your mind based on marketing. ANd you come off like a chode because your whole schtick seems to be that these hacks aren't putting love and passion into it like the original and seriously dude come the gently caress on edit: quote:This is a PG-13 focus-group tested slickified 'safe bet' remake of a popular franchise from the past loaded with nostalgia that pretty much ensures the exclusion of: Are you loving kidding me?
