Robocop REBOOT, because Why Not?

Robocop was re-done and promptly shit all over. It's on Netflix, so we took a flyer on it (T.R. & myself). The cast boasted an impressive bunch in Michael Keaton, Jackie Earle Haley, Michael K. Willams (OH SHIT, OMAR'S COMIN')Gary Oldman, Sammy Jackson, and Abby Cornish, who I only listed because I find her VERY attractive. All are in secondary roles are loaded with star power, but the rest of the money was spent on CGI and the writers and other actors were paid in food and a warm place to sleep apparently. Bad: The script is pretty atrocious, Joel Kinnaman is pretty underwhelming, and it's PG-13. Good: The real actors, Abby Cornish, and CGI. The story is similar, but really drags a lot more of his human side in to everything, which sucks. Keaton is especially awesome because he can do NO WRONG lately. Oldman is excellent as a scientist at the heart of the Robocop project. Just because you're a fan of the first Robocop, don't see this thing. Bottom Line: 4.1 out of 10. It really isn't worth seeing this movie. It's that simple.
