Looks like any generic futuristic suit from any movie / game from the past 15 or so years. I mean they have one of the coolest and most iconic suits of all time to work with and that's what they come up with? Pathetic.
 
It would be decent if they at least colored it silver.

But yeah screw this movie. Elite Squad films be damned, they were aiight but I have no faith in this.
 
really? because I (along with numerous people) fucking hate it and said nothing about it not looking like a cop, which is a dumb as hell reason regardless. But if you think a good way to make a point is to discount others with "wah wah" then good luck with that jr.



BUT IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE A COP !!!11!!! (near is correct)

Read the thread then.

this show is not Breaking Bad why is it not Breaking Bad? it should be Breaking Bad dammit Breaking Bad
Where's the metal shot?

Yeah, it does look like Batman poster above me, what the heck...
 
This is a remake not an original concept, and as a remake it doesn't do much in staying true to it's heritage, in fact far from it. It looks like shit and as a fan of the series, I'm offended. So I'll hate because I think I have a right to! :(

WTF overall the series is shit. The first movie is the only great film. The second is alright. Everything else including the comics are complete utter shit.

Also, when you remake or adapt something you're supposed to be more concerned with your vision than the original's. There is a whole (and very important) theory in film that says just this.
 
From the link in the OP..

In RoboCop, the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Their drones are winning American wars around the globe and now they want to bring this technology to the home front. Alex Murphy (Kinnaman) is a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit. After he is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp utilizes their remarkable science of robotics to save Alex's life. He returns to the streets of his beloved city with amazing new abilities, but with issues a regular man has never had to face before.

So he lives?
 
oh reread my post where I already proved you wrong.

the difference is Im only claiming what I along with some others have said, where you are saying everyone is making that silly complaint.

so obviously you have to be correct.

It doesn't look like a robot or a cop :p

doesn't seem very cop-like either

That's actually a good point, the old Robocop always reminded me of an old shiny cop car.


Ok, full member.

Ok, full member.

3 people equals everyone? you have a long, amazing career of posting ahead of you.

its pretty funny also trying to tell me what I posted when you quoted me saying it has nothing to do with it being a cop.

this "debate" is pointless as I'm assuming you aren't old enough to appreciate why people might not like this suit design.

and the original robocop looking nothing like a cop, and no one cared. the end.

I'll reserve judgement until I see it in action in a trailer. Ever since the leaks of the x-men costumes years ago that looked like shit in photo but fine in the film.

Point where I said that. You were the one that said no one was saying he didn't look like a cop. I proved you wrong.

Stop embarrassing yourself, member.

I'll spell it out for you. You were attempting to group all the criticisms into a stupid reason to justify your random "HAY ITS COOL GUYS", which I simply pointed out there were people with other reasons , such as myself (and 3 posts below) that you choose to ignore. Then you started junioring it up. If you think this is embarrassing and calling me a member is anything, then you have a nice learning experience ahead of you.

"really? because I (along with numerous people) fucking hate it and said nothing about it not looking like a cop, which is a dumb as hell reason regardless.""

Theres my quote genius. Put your words in someone elses mouth and stop derailing the thread with your shitty posts. thanks.

and thank you for giving me an outlet for my disappointment.

Welp, that suit sucks out all of the character from Robocop. Looks too much like an armored suit and not enough like a robot chassis. Won't write it off entirely yet though...

A lot of people think Transformers as a series is shit I'm a fan of that too. I don't care about the comics, never read them but I loved the movies as a kid. This is obviously subject to opinion so don't 'wtf' me. :p

It's a remake, it's still inspired by the original source material, the most important aspects of the film should remain intact otherwise you're better off making an entierely new film with a new title.

No one here can look at that suit and say this is the Robocop they should have made in the first place. If the remake fails to even give off the impression it's a successor it's not a remake, it's a product of money making peice of shit. Doubt anyone sat in there living room one day and said why haven't they remade Robocop, most people don't even remember the film.

Ok, member, thank you for the valuable lesson. I should go to bed and cry right now, because you really showed me how great you are by calling me "junior" for having a dissonant opinion. I'll from now on follow your great steps, since ou are a MEMBER, not a mere "junior member" like myself.

I think we all know whats going to happen haha.

Does this mean a shiny black and sleek ed209 is in our future?

Just doing my part to protect and serve (and show that coming into a topic and discounting everyones comments with WAH WAH is not the best way to add to the conversation). The only reason I pointed out your status is because its unusual to see a junior just randomly attempt to troll a bunch of people with actual valid criticisms. Now you can

Lolz. Stop derailing the thread, your humour has been a delight however, that's of course if you're not actually being serious.

The old suit doesn't hold up well nowadays. They should improve the new design and not go back to the shitty old one.

You and I share this unpopular opinion. Ideally we wouldn't even be talking about this stuff, but Hollywood went ahead anyways.

Well this is essentially what I was hoping for, I don't think it would be that reasonable to use the exact same design as the old one, but to completely replace it with something that looks like Batman's outfit takes a lot out of the essence of Robocop in my opinion. The only thing that might look similar here is the helmet, but that's not really worth mentioning.

Unless there are some special effects that are missing from that picture I think it needs work. I'll eat crow if this turns out to be special.

Aside from the obvious ugly-as-shit design choice they went with, the whole suit just looks ridiculously cheap. I know the same complaints were levied against Thor when production photos were leaking, but this looks like some shitty Halloween costume, especially the helmet. I hope they do some post-processing work to get it to at least look respectable, even if it's nothing like the original design.
