i'm the only one that's been consistent here!

no robo dat ass
Still shit. Helmet was always the best part, depending on how the translucence works on screen.
I still don't like it but we'll see where it goes from here.

Amazing.
20 some years later and his ass still looks awkward as hell in the Robo Suit.
I guess it's something wardrobe could never fix.

God hates robot ass!
have you ever seen the original movies and how Robo looks from behind when he moves? The ass part is almost never on right and it looks awkward and it breaks the illusion of him being a robot.
That's funny because in the original they kept his arm until Bob Morton told the surgeons to remove it.Something to do with OCP public relations. His right arm was intentionally left intact.
lots of pics

As for the suit, the helmet looks good the suit still looks bland.
I whole heartedly agree, unfortunately.
I think it looks dumb this way, one human hand, and the rest of the body is in the suit. It's just not right.
They manage to save the arm just like in the original, but decide to lop it off after when they care less and less about making him appear human
anyone?
That is very interesting ... specialy if they go that with the rumors and
end up taking out his arm in the less humanized versions of the suit
¬¬
A green or blue glove would only be needed if they shoot the movie against a more yellow background ... but considering his suit is black and robocop is a mostly urban movie (gray everywhere) than the hand will already provide enogh contrast on their own in most cases.

CG isn't just green screen.
Curiously this Robocop has kept the same hand that was blown away in the original. I bet he loses it at some point during the movie.
What if they replace it with a machine gun arm?

Why is this movie being remade again?
Don't see why it's such a terrible decision. You kind of have to look back and ask why he still even had a face in the original. They never really explained it and there is virtually no use to use. At least here, it seems, they are trying to explain it by saying it helps to humanize Robocop and make him more relatable to the public.
Shaaat aaap.
Maybe. I really don't care either way. I just like the fact that they are attempting to give it some context.
He uses an iPhone instead of a Nokia Lumia so he'd need the hand to be able to use itWhat's with the hand?
I am warming up to the suit design. In fact the design always have been just fine, I just wish it wasn't all black. Robocop is associated with silver body armor.

The visor really brings it all together. I'm liking it now.
Ok ... the protest images made any doubt I might have on this movie goes away

Huh? The practical suit and the CG suit look nearly identical. Even the director couldn't tell the two apart in one test scene.

It looks out of place. that's my main issue with it. he was already humanized with the lower half of his face showing, having one hand is just out of place.
Yep. GAF is a monolithic entity.
That alone would make it much better.

Is there a reason he has a non mechanical hand?

Okay, based on a few different rumors, relatively minor spoiler I guess:
OCP goes through up to four revisions of the suit based on focus group feedback. The suit in these photos may be the 2nd or 3rd suit, where his human hand is preserved so that he can shake hands and look a bit more friendly. Then they say fuck it and chop his remaining arm off, if one plot point is correct. One rumor also claims that the outer shell of his armor reconfigures somewhat depending threat level, making him increasingly robot like and threatening.

I love it. My only change would to make the chest a little bulkier. Maybe a little less black.

Would saying "the general consensus on GAF" be alright, or is at still too much of an exaggeration for you?
Stop being difficult. "But GAF told me..." is used in jest more often than not, even if there's an element of truth to it.
No, but people who make sweeping generalizations based on bad set photos are.

-We were able to save the left arm.
-What? I thought we agreed on total
body prosthesis. Lose the arm, OK?
-Jesus, Morton.
- Can he understand me?
- Doesn't matter. We'll blank his memory.
-I think we should lose the arm.
What do you think, Johnson?
-He signed release forms when
he joined the force. He's legally dead.
-We can do pretty much what we want to.
-Lose the arm.
Wonder how they will play it out in the remake.

Not gonna lie... kind of love that.
Yeah that scene really fucked me up as a kid...it's the only time in my life I felt physically sick from watching a film...it was just so brutal.

As freaky as that scene was, I always felt that it was one of the better moments in the movie. It was a nice contrast to the "reconstruction of Murphy" scene in the original Robocop where we see him being built from Murphy's point of view. On part two we see him getting deconstructed from his own point of view.
Yeah, his gun sounded so badass in the original film:

The movie had pretty good sound design for a film from 1987. Also had the best looking blood squibs on film, at that period too.
But I can kinda see where they are going with the human arm here, but couldn't they at least give him a black glove or something? I still think the red and black colour scheme looks a little cheesy. But script leaks claim that his suit will change during the course of the movie... maybe he will lose his human arm later on and they will build him fully made out of machine parts?
I'm sorry but that Robocop design looks utterly, utterly forgettable.
They took everything that made the original suit so iconic and instead of incorporating that into the new design they threw it out and went for something generic as fuck.
I fear that this will just about sum up tis entire venture.
Depending on who you speak to (and someone I know said) it's too light and self referential but with a solid action heavy third act.
Eh. Could go either way.
