It only hit UK cinemas today (7th) and is due in the US on the 14th (or the 12th).

Only a 12A rating? Mustn't be as violent as the original so.

Not many films are. Robocop revelled in it's Over The Top™ violence.

I saw it today, it was absolutely awful! Needless to say I'll be giving the home release a wide berth.

This is directed by the man who directed Elite Squad, i might give it a chance now.

Saw it today in my OCP t-shirt with the 4k remaster disc fresh in my head, and loved it! I was shocked but took an open mind with me and was rewarded

They get away with a TON for a 12a the rumours of humans only getting tased is rubbish he kills a lot of people

Nice one. Ordered Steelbook. Blind buy but I love the original (& no.2) also enjoy a lot of remakes/reboots, sure this will be no different.

The trailer looks absolutely dreadful but I'll watch it anyway out of respect for the original. I mean, just one example: the scene in the original when Murphy 'dies' is really cruel and violent, that scene still sticks in my head since I first saw twenty years, or whatever, ago. In the new one he gets blown up. I'm not sure it's gonna have the same effect.

not horrible just not brilliant either, mildly entertaining for myself, would pick it up maybe if it drops to £3-4 quid in a year or so.
