If you removed all the bits featuring robots, cops and any combination of those two from the second trailer for 2014’s Robocop reboot, you’d still have a movie that looks like a blast. That’s great. Also not great.
It’s a problem that’s hard to avoid when you bring together a cast featuring Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Gary Oldman and Jackie Earle Haley. When Nick Fury, Batman, Commissioner Gordon and Rorschach get done eating up the scenery, there’s no room left for the CG robots and guys in silly-looking suits.
They can fix this. all they need to do is get those four into a room watching Robocop 2014, film that, and release it as Robocop 2014. No, it doesn’t make sense. I don’t care.
