The gun is "eh." Anyone notice the new suit makes him look like he has a beer gut. What's that about?
That's just foul, cant beat the Auto-9 original. Hell I have a resin cast of the original, maybe this will inspire me to finish painting it!
Why the hell would you give a half robot guy one of his human hands when you could better equip him with a robot hand like his other one? It would have to have nerves to function so it'd feel or sense pain thus making it susceptible to damage.. And since its flesh its not like he could hit anyone or grab anyone with any extra amount of robot strength.. Its just so damn stupid. And his pistol looks like a damn space toy. Horrible, absolutely horrible. Leave it to hollywood to ruin yet another movie.
The original was too heroic, clean, good guy cop, no social engineering, can't have that. Actors who could actually ACT. They will never match the coke factory scene [video=youtube;KBccZfvPXFc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBccZfvPXFc[/video]
Not the kind of social engineering I am talking about.. it was more pure, fun entertainment I agree with your main premise, the militarization of civilian police.. fail
They did a good job with the Dredd remake, course the original was pretty bad. Robocop however, is a classic. Funny how in the 80s movies were more message less explosions, now movies are more explosions, barney style message.
