I think Robocop 2 totally fucking rules and anybody who disagrees I'll fight them backyard Kimbo Slice bare knuckle style. I think it's just as good if not a little better than the original.
When I was a kid I always enjoyed RC2 more than RC1, but I rewatched them both recently after not watching them for ~20 years and IMO the first one is definitely better. I think the difference was the second one lost a lot of the satire and in exchange gained some goofy parts. It's still a decent movie, I just think it lost a lot of its bite.I think Robocop 2 totally fucking rules and anybody who disagrees I'll fight them backyard Kimbo Slice bare knuckle style.

This fucking sucks. I want a new predator. A new aliens. And a new Robocop. And Friday the 13th
But we can't have them cuz of whining bitching fans of the 1980 movies. This is why we can't fucking have nice things.
The new Friday the 13th wasn't even that bad.
Instead we get nothing but prissy shit like moonlight, la la land and captain marvel
Didn't we get a short scene of their planet in...AvP:R? Can't remember which film, they all sucked so much they run together. But I remember that being a highlight of an otherwise shit film.2.) Predator homeworld shit. I have always told my brother it would be cool to see Predator homeworld shit. I wanna see Predator society, I wanna see Predator hierarchy, I wanna see Predator Bloodlines wars. Make a movie that is ONLY Predators. Predator has language so just subtitle that shit. Predator society is WAYYYYY more advanced than Humans and I wanna see that shit. Predators have like warp speed in order to get to Earth all the time. WARP SPEED SOCIETY!
A sequel to the original has potential (unless they pull a Terminator Dark Fate), but a sequel to the 2014 remake is definitely not wanted. The 2014 remake wasn't horrible, but it was lacking some key elements from the original, and simply wasn't as good as the original.DISTRICT 9's Neill Blomkamp to Direct ROBOCOP RETURNS for MGM
RoboCop, the cyborg police officer who patrols the streets of Detroit, is returning to the big screen.
Neill Blomkamp, who directed such tech-heavy movies such as District 9 and Chappie, has been set by MGM to direct what is being titled RoboCop Returns, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Justin Rhodes, who co-wrote the Terminator reboot that Tim Miller is directing, is rewriting a script that was written by Ed Neumeier and Michael Miner, the duo who wrote the original 1987 movie, considered a sci-fi and action classic.
The original movie, directed by Paul Verhoeven, told of a police officer who, on death’s doorstep, is used as an experiment to create new type of patrolman, one that is half man, half machine (but all cop! as the poster said). The new creation then struggled with resurfacing memories and corrupt city officials.
The movie struck chords viscerally – the action elements went deep R – as well as thematically, with the movie serving up satirical commentary on Reaganomics, the GoGo 80s and media.
Two sequels followed, one even co-written by Frank Miller, but they are largely forgotten.
MGM already tried to resuscitate the franchise with a remake in 2014. That movie was directed by Jose Padilha, the director of Brazil’s acclaimed crime movies Elite Squad, and starred Joel Kinnaman. The movie was met with tepid response and shows how hard it can be to manage and update classic titles.
Neumeier and Miner wrote the script for the sequel years ago with Rhodes now rewriting it. Neumeier will act as a producer on RoboCop Returns with Miner acting as an exec producer.

Honestly, I don't even remember Samuel L. Jackson's part in the film.The Samuel L. Jackson stuff was atrocious. It should have simply all been cut. Ending the movie with it was ridiculous.
Kinnaman had the charisma of a comatose Jai Courtney in that movie.

He was the TV guy they kept cutting back to for no reason that had nothing to do with the story. The Novak Element or something like that. Then the movie ends on him just going on a rant when he had nothing to do with anything in the movie.
And let’s not forget, the greatest toy ever created:
If it isn’t set in a pseudo 80s future then it should be.
A sequel to the original Robocop’s instead of a shitty remake, I’d buy that for a dollar!
