RoboCop Reboot - Part 6

[SofNascimento]

About the remake thing, I believe a film cannot be judge for something it doesn't try to be. You can't criticize a comedy for not having enough scares or a drama for not having enough action. And just because this is a remake, it doesn't mean it's a copy of the original. Quite the opposite, as many have stated, this feels like a new film entirely.

For example, I read a lot of reviews complaining about the lack of the dry humor from the first one. But the new Rocobop doesn't try that, it doesn't try to have the same humor of the first one, so how can't it be a flaw? If it tried and failed, then yes, you could say about that, but not just because it has the same name.

So in the end I believe the critics were unfair. Not this film deserver only praise, but in my eyes it was considerable better than Elysium, for example. Yet the latter got more positive reviews.

^ I agree with this completely, this is my main problem with some of the criticizm and most of the trashing in this case too.
That's fine if someone thinks it's awful or mediocre or whatever on its own, I have no problem with such opinions at all. And of course that's also fine when someone personally likes the original version more because of what made it so popular and cultic. But what you said is completely unfair IMO too.
