Did anyone like the recent Total Recall and Robocop remakes?

 

[ThePhantasm]

I found them to be entertaining. Not spectacular, but worth a watch.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Total Recall sucked. It looked pretty good but the story made no sense at all.

I liked the Robocop remake though. It could have used some better action sequences, but I thought all the stuff with Murphy, his family, Norton and Sellars was great. And the ED-209s were awesome. I just wish we saw more of them.

 

[chamber-music]

No.

The Robocop remake was boring and unmemorable.

Total Recall was ok but not as good as the original.

 

[henzINNIT]

Total Recall remake was ass. Didn't bother with Robocop.

Both remakes made me go back and buy the originals though, so I guess that's a positive.

 

[Jochimus]

Never saw the new Total Recall, but I did like the new Robocop.

 

[Symbiotic]

Total Recall was ok, but I dug RoboCop.

 

[Wheels]

Robocop was decent.

 

[MadVillainy]

Both were pretty boring but far from terrible

 

[DeadPresident]

We're in for a metric ****ton of 80s and 90s remakes for probably the next few years. None will have the charm or impact of whatever it is they're copying.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Nope.

 

[AnneFan]

I liked Robocop well enough, but still haven't seen Total Recall. That didn't interest me.

 

[Panthro]

Haven't seen the Total Recall remake beyond a few clips when someone played it in the break room at work.

I liked the remake of Robocop and felt it took more flak than it deserved, mostly because of its PG-13 rating.

 

[I'm Old Greg]

NO
and shame on them.

 

[Mr.T]

The Total Recall remake was below average. Didn't like it all.

Robocop 2014 was just ok. The story was meh and the big villain wasn't there. I watched Robocop 1987 last weekend and it's such a great movie, it's not even close. Clarence Boddicker takes that film to a level the remake just can't sniff....

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Neither one was awful but both were pretty forgettable.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

I didn't see either of them but they both looked like trash

 

[DA_Champion]

I approvd of Robocop but not Total Recall.

 

[flickchick85]

Robocop was definitely a better movie than Total Recall. I'll admit I found them both pleasantly diverting enough, but I'd actually like to see a sequel to Robocop.

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

Both remakes were OK but easily forgettable.

 

[StarLord]

I thought both movies were okay. Nothing special.

 

[SymbioteKal-El]

Liked both, not a patch on the originals but both brought new things to the table and were entertaining. Would like a sequel to Robocop I think a new franchise has potential.

 

[Octoberist]

I actually kinda enjoyed the Robocop remake. It's forgettable but it was handled with enough integrity that it felt like they wanted to make it special.
