RoboCop Reboot - Part 5

[Travesty]

Why did they redo this movie? I'm going to "rewrite" "Gone with the wind" and call it mine!

As long as you "ground" it and make it "realistic", people would love that remake.

Because Jose, a really gifted director, said hey I have an idea about a Robocop movie. And it turned the idea was pretty awesome. Boom, end of story

Too bad we're not seeing his vision

Please, we are to, the studio didn't interfere or do crap like the people were saying

If this is his vision, it's a pretty sucky one compared to everything he said about why he wanted to make it in the first place. The whole movie wreaks of by the numbers studio tentpole

 

[Poni_Boy]

We are.

Sure. Just like SM3 was Raimi's vision.

You're freakin' scaring me man. I remember you reviewing and loving the Wolverine, and I loved it too when I watched it. So Im scared to share your opinion on RoboCop 2014 when I watch it a few hours from now. Im a big fan of RoboCop 87, 8.5/10 from me. Hope this one gets at least an 8/10. I'll post a short review later.

Everyone is different lol. You can like the movie even if someone else hates it.

If poni boy hates it then so be it, that is cool, at least he's SEEN it lol. Unlike most people who just blindly hate on it. I just dislike that people tend to follow reviews and ratings, rather than make up their own mind, but I hate it even more when people don't see the film, and rag in it for just existing.

Go see it, hope you have fun. If you don't hold the original so highly then you just might enjoy yourself! Going in with low expectations doesn't hurt either lol.

I sincerely hope I don't hate it, but I might, there's things I already know about, (like the music) that I don't like. but after this summer... Anything is possible. I hated iron man 3 yet adore Man of Steel. Hmm. Movies are hit and miss for me lately haha

Hopefully this is sarcasm, lol. If you mean it then there's no hope for you girl(or weird 45 year old man lol)

Sorry for the triple post, but I don't see what's wrong with a by the numbers studio tent pole. They are honestly...usually pretty good lol.

We shall see!

And yes this is a remake. Not really sure what the difference is.

 

[Travesty]

And yes this is a remake. Not really sure what the difference is.

A remake is when you take an older story, and redo the entire thing with little changes, kinda like The Time Machine. A reboot is when you take existing characters, but place them in a new continuity and a new plot line. Kinda like TASM.

The definitions run together. You can't really legitimately say there's a big difference.

Remake means to make again, differently. That could be applied to TASM. It has existing characters, and the same basic origin story. The spider man character is being remade into something different lol.

Robocop could be considered a reboot since it's a brand new continuity with a new plot line, new characters, that is meant to launch a new franchise of films. Robocop 2,3 etc.

TASM can be considered a reboot since it's launched a new franchise, Robocop could be considered a remake. You can't really say it's one or the other, but you can say it's both.

So basically...the exact same thing.

Just google it. They mainly say the exact same thing. I don't feel like getting into this, cause the answers are easy to find.

 

[TheVileOne]

Which makes this movie a remake.

 

[Travesty]

This feels like those debates where people can't figure out the difference between sci if and fantasy.

I don't need to Google it. I know the difference because I

feel it in my bones and stuff.

It feels more like one of those debates that people defending the RoboCop remake think of the remake as a dirty word so they are trying to say, "reboot, not remake."

Well no, it is technically both, I clearly explained this in my earlier posts.

People can say it's a remake, if they insist, since the character originated in film. but this is a "remake" that launches a new franchise with nothing to do with the original. Which makes it a reboot aswell. Re-whatever, it's a movie with no connection to the original, very LITTLE in common with the original, and is meant to launch a new franchise and a new string of movies with new characters. Throw in re-imagining too, it can be applied.

Call it whatever the **** you want, but I'm not defending it, I'm defending the idea of it. I have no idea if I will even like the film or not. But RoboCop is one of my favorite characters.

Same with Spidey, I didn't like ASM, but I sure as hell support it, and will defend the idea behind it, especially when it was first announced and people **** BRICKS.

As an artist I support and understand different interpretations and visions for characters. If I hate it I'll hate it, but I won't put something down for trying!

Just a little fun - the cast of RoboCock

Sure. Just like SM3 was Raimi's vision.

Padilha said in more than one interview for brazilian midia how he managed to do the film he wanted, even if it wasn't an easy ride.

 

[TheBeastWithin]

Just splitting hairs over remake, reboot, re-imagining. To me "remake" implies you are taking an existing film and using the same script/story and the same characters and only changing the actors and director. Robocop 2014 has a completely different story, all different dialogue, with only ONE shared character between '87 and '14. ONE.

New Robocop featurette - Man and Machine Parts 1 and 2. So much new footage. Notice the badge etched into the silver/black suit used as background behind Oldman.
