Now I've never seen the first original Robocop but by golly was it on my 'to watch' list. The raving about the original made me watch this revamp when it came out on Netflix in the same year of release.
I found this film to be a high budget movie with a script that doesn't really have as much depth as I'm sure the original has. As a newbie, I was somewhat confused why the doctor acted by Gary Oldman was so sympathetic, why they had to choose a 'disabled person' to enter the robot and the reasoning behind the anger portrayed toward the end of the film for Robocop. Yes, I understand there was some sort of dark behind the books work by the cops to get the character to be Robocop, but this storyline just falls a bit flat for me.
Overall, I was left somewhat confused by this film. The storyline was too much on a whim and didn't offer the depth I'd expect from such a big name. Entertaining none the less, the big budget Robocop gets a 7 from me.
