Robocop 2014 Review | Entertainment Buddha
Entertainment Buddha's Matt Heywood writes, "José Padilha’s RoboCop reboot was put under the microscope the moment it was announced. Fans and critics of the original RoboCop didn’t want any part of it, and considered the project to be a sacrilegious endeavor. The jeers from longtime RoboCop fans only intensified when the first round of leaked set videos and images featured RoboCop in a non-traditional black suit. It’s safe to say that RoboCop 2014 was behind the 8-ball before it even released, and I too had concerns about it, namely it’s PG-13 rating, because we all know you can’t have a RoboCop movie without some over-the-top violence.
Regardless of the bad press and low hype factor, I still did my duty as a geek and watched the new RoboCop. I’m glad I did give this movie a chance, because it’s actually really entertaining, and the new approach to the character works quite well."
