RoboCop Reboot - Part 2

[jmc]

I'm really not keen on the suit for this reboot.

 

[AnneFan]

I agree that the first suit is very good and hard to beat. But like John Williams' Superman theme, it's not a heaven sent deity. I like the new suit with helmet and red visor quite a lot. It does evoke the original in ways but also has its own identity.

Joel Kinnaman:
"There’s a lot of neuroscience now raising the question, ‘Is all the intelligence in the human body in the brain?’ and they’re finding out that, no, it’s not like that. The body has intelligence itself, and we’re much more of an organic creature in that way. It’s not a control tower that does everything."

This might explain why the suit appears more human in proportion and less robotic than before. This might be a more nuanced integration of man and machine and less of a full body prothesis/human-brain-in-a-robot-body.

That's my feeling, that while it's drastically different from the old suit it is instantly recognizable as Robocop 2.0.

I like the helmet, but the actual suit looks like just that, a man in a rubber suit.

Most armored costumes look like a rubber suit on set until you see it on film. You know, movie magic and all...

True. Also in these pics with a bit more daylight the armor plates appear to be like a stiffer material but with a matte, rubberized finish, not necessarily actual rubber.

Why is one of his hands exposed?

 

[TheVileOne]

It's part of the look apparently. Maybe to make him "appear" more human and make it look like there's a human underneath the armor.

I think it's also a reference to the original when he was being built and the "saved" his arm that wasn't blown off and then the OCP guy said to lose the arm and make it total body prosthesis.

Hey why is that guy wearing that suit in those pics? Are they filming a movie or something? lol

yeah,it looks like the Nano-suit from Crysis...theres nothing Robotic about it.

 

[DyeLorean]

RubberCop?

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

Good one

 

[culver3vlr22]

I think if the first pictures we seen were the original suit ppl would still be like " it looks stupid" "it's not Peter Weller" "I wanted a new better suit". Some ppl just look to hate on remakes no matter what it is.

 

[DyeLorean]

People are allowed to hate things, as long as they have arguments to back them up. I've read bad arguments for the Total Recall remake, but what I'm reading about Robocop makes perfect sense so far.

The thing is, people that actually LIKE what they see, can't understand why there's people who don't like it. And that's what arguments are for.

Oh yes, and another little thing called "opinions".

Yes and I guess I just really don't understand the whole "rubber" thing it's not a smart reason to dislike what I've read about this movie

Well, for me -comparisons with the original movie aside, which are inevitable- if the character is part machine (like 80%) and part man, what we've seen so far about the suit makes it look like a regular man in a prosthetic, swat-like suit. And it just doesn't make complete sense with the essence of the character -if they are, indeed, keeping it like in the original-.

I'm waiting to see finished footage, with post-production sounds, the actor's movements, etc, to give a formal opinion.

Edit: oh, by the way, I'm always talking about the suit. I have no idea about the rest of the movie, haven't read a single thing about it.

Well for me it's the amount of it looks like rubber, it looks like a guy in a suit not a robot talk cause at the end of the day the pics we've seen are just that a guy in a suit. If the Internet saw Peter Weller pants less driving the cop car I the first the Internet would go crazy. All I know is this is the first thing EVER I can say I think a reboot works for. Robocop is awesome and it's a reason I have him tattooed on me. I thick the first one is just perfect in its own way. And this cast this director just all this movie can work and god I hope it does but until at least a teaser is shown lets move on from the rubber in the suit . This is the same Internet that hated Heath ledgers first joker picture

I just wanna drop by and say to 'rubber haters' that: Would you spend potentially tons of money just to put your main actor in a hard, metal, uncomfortable suit that could potentially take hours to put on and have limitations, or would you put them in a more cheaper, flexible material that can easily fit them, and can easily enhance in post-production?

 

[Rodrigo90]

Yeah, I get sick of hearing that **** about Batman's costume as well

it doesnt take hours to put on a suit. make up and prosthetics? yes. but putting on a suit not. its a marketing trick to make it more interesting.

uncomfortable? so this is the only suit that he could have where its comfortable? i thought that the iron man suit was praised for 4 years?

hopefully in future Batman films, we see a Batcycle in this same sort of mold
