Robocop 2014

You'd be surprised. A few years back, I recommended The Terminator to a friend in his early twenties and he came back to me with the verdict that "It's crap".
I think it had to do with it not quite being up to today's visual standards or something...

It took quite an effort to not slap him, I'll admit.

And he doesn't like B&W films either I suspect because they're all "cr@p" too?
 
Probably.
I wouldn't know since I was forced to part company with him due to his ever escalating, aggressive stupidity. One of those people who won't listen to anything except the voices in their head that tell them they're right about absolutely everything and everyone else is an idiot.

The Terminator thing was just an extremely minor example ;)
 
I've been avoiding all of the recent Hollywood remakes and cash ins (Stallone etc).

I saw some fan made parody of Robocop a bit back and some of the scenes were really well made and hilarious.

I was just thinking exactly this godzilla was a major let down the entire film was just a tease to see godzilla even, replacing it with 'humans' was just budget saving to the point of defeat. Even those old skool channel 4 godzilla japanese original films that aired 20 years ago with godzilla jr were better and more fun !

You would think the directors/producers had watched the last fantastic four film and understood the word tease but not actually show up !

This robocop was indeed terrible wrong cast in characters. This robocop forgot to be different or innovate and pales in comparison to Paul Verhoevens robocop, even the humour was missing and made robocop the film it is ie a classic same transpired with starship troopers (same director/producer) with the cheesy comedy :)

You can't beat a classic sadly same applies with total recall remake although due to kate the film was more then watchable.
 
Yeah, Kate and the FX were the only saving graces in TR. Another remake of a Verhoeven classic that missed the tongue in cheek charm of the original...
She could never replace Michael Ironside though :D
