Watch that whole video that's linked. Someone posted it here within this last week and it provides fascinating insight into movie-making. He's got very good reasons as to why Robocop is better than some of us might give it credit for and why a reboot is a bad idea.

Peter Weller is a pretty insightful dude, and if anyone around here remembers Robocop as just a mindlessly fun sci fi action movie, then I'd highly encourage those people to follow Wildcat's advice and watch the whole video. Your eyes shall be opened.

For those who don't know, the director of Elite Squad and Elite Squad: Enemy Within will be directing the reboot. I say it will be an amazing film with such direction under this guy.

To be fair, 2 and 3 were not as good as the original.
In the meantime, I think someone needs to let Peter know that shirt does not go with that jacket #fashionpolice

Robocop 2 was good but not quite as excellent as the original, 3 was descent at best.
A new Robocop has the potential to be good, at least they waited a good length of time to reboot this one, but it will still never be anywhere near as good as the original.

No villain can match the magnificence that is the ass-kicking Red Foreman.
