The trailers made it look awfully generic and I didn't expect any better after the Total Recall remake sucked so much ass. I gave it a watch on Netflix a couple of years after release and was pleasantly surprised. The violence is gone but it goes deeper into the hard sci-fi transhumanist/corporate control concepts and for what it's worth the action is serviceable. I honestly had no interest in this movie since the original was very entertaining but since seeing it they're now almost tied for me for different reasons. But since I'm a fan of cyberpunk as opposed to a hardcore action junkie I may just even prefer this one because it elaborates more on those futuristic themes. Overall, not just boring shallow eye candy like Total Recall 2012. There's some actual substance in RoboCop 2014, would recommend it to anyone who skipped it's initial release.

I watched it till the end and it was alright, but I would be very shocked if the director of Tropa de Elite made a bad movie, even with Sony's retarded meddling.

The pacing was too slow for the first half; it could work in the comfort of your own tv but it was boring as hell to sit through the first half in a cinema.

I remember the director stating something along the lines of "I'll deliver a good movie but I'm never doing another big movie like this again". I guess working for Sony was a pain in the ass.

I just liked how they got the revenge plot out of the way almost immediately. It didn't rehash the original's story. Instead they did something new with the corporate guy grabbing the dude's family and breaking free from the programming to save them. That's usually what I don't like about remakes, when it's shot for shot the same thing. So when this went somewhere different with it it actually got my attention for once, where usually I'd be daydreaming already (dozed off for the majority of Total Recall).

He's done the first two episodes of Narcos and is now developing a new show about some Brazilian politics scandal for Netlfix so he's turning into a tv guy, I guess.

The scene in Robocop 2 where they take all those "suggestions" on the Prime Directives, comes to mind.
