I just watched the 1980's reboot RoboCop, and I can honestly tell you...it was way better than I was expecting. The reboot has nothing on the original, don't get me wrong, the first one was bloody, violence full of all the destruction we love from our 80's action movies. But the reboot is a fantastic new take on the franchise, he's as bad ass as the first, but without all the gore so your teens can also enjoy the film. I really enjoyed the human elements added to the story and the character, plus the humans vs robots type of approach it took. After Detective Alex gets caught in a car bombing his wife, desperate to save him, signs him up for a experiment to salvage him as much as possible. Going from someone that was virtually destroyed and left for a dead, a second chance at life becoming RoboCop. The original story from the 80's is still very much present in terms of making him more machine than man, and having to find himself again, which is something I enjoyed. I over heard some people saying the movie seemed to drag in the middle a little but with a 2 hour movie...a slower pace to catch up with everything was a great touch. So I give RoboCop a solid 7.5/10 for great action, nice human elements and a great reboot that is for more than just adults. GO SEE IT!! And let me know your thoughts.
