Missing drama and deviated sci-fi

Whether old or new, Robcop isn't just a sci-fi popcorn. Although the discussion of the human-machine proposition is not that thorough, it has to be admitted that it is the theme of this series - enough to distinguish it from most superhero films. The Robcop series in my childhood memory is dark and obscure without being contrived. The same style is more or less brought into this version of the sequel, dark mechanical design, too many indoor scenes, bitter relationship between characters, etc. And so on, so it can also add a little bit to the style. However, the dual-minded screenwriter not only wanted to highlight the continuous discussion of the master-slave relationship between man and machine on the road of productivity development, but also wanted to take into account the acerbic satire of the hegemonic, snobbish, and materialistic national character of the US imperialists. Both are unpleasant. To illustrate these two points, two clues are used separately in the film. Robcop, his wife and children, and the Ph.D. are in charge of the dialectical discussion of the machine; the arms dealer and his doglegs and the talk show host are in charge of national power.

I haven't seen the old version, but the stories and ideas of the new version are still not fresh, and can only be regarded as a well-established assembly line product. Compared with the new version of "Special Police Judge" with a similar theme, this film is indeed much more refined in special effects production. The all-black armor is modern, but unfortunately it is not very good-looking... But "The Judge" at least has absolute justice. The philosophical thinking is in it, and when it comes to this film, it is completely popcorn, and the rank is slightly lower...

The reborn new chapter sets the shape and story background in line with modern aesthetics. After lowering my expectations, I found that it wasn't too bad. Literary dramas basically made sense, but action dramas. The realism, which is widely praised in elite troops, is a hindrance here. Several major scenes have no imagination, lack of power and sense of speed. Also, I like the scrawny drug addict in Murder more than Officer Murphy.
