I wouldn't disagree with you pal  :wub:

You said an actor "of note" - I pointed out Ewan was, certainly after stuff like BHD and Trainspotting.  He's no George Clooney I concede.

I wasn't comparing Robo to Blade Runner - 99% of films will suffer in that comparison.  I just think it's a really good film that has many layers to it and bears several viewings (much like ST - plus Dina Meyer in the shower and the first outing for Den Richards  :dribble:  )

Now there's one to add to our list with Cameron and Salma for making an entrance  :dribble:

2 wait for dvd
3 watch on dvd cause non of the above is happening

It's more like:

1)Good looking girl(s)
2)Good looking girl(s)
3)Some action (with girls)
etc.......

Robocop is always a good watch. I just think that if Verhoven went back and did it again he'd do a much better job. Now he has the clout to pull in some top actors for his main players (especially the role of Clarence Boddicker), have the script tightened up and do a better job of the special effects.

On the other hand Robocop was a film of it's time. Back in 1987 Wall street was booming, everyone wore red braces, earnt a packet and were slaves materialism and the search for the next big score. The world has changed in the last 17 years and Robocop looks a little dated. While it was set in the near future it has the 80's written all over it. We're in that near future now. So the film needs a new feel to reflect the fears and concerns of 2004 not of 1987. It would be nice to see it redone and modernised but I can't see it happening. Ahhh such pipe dreams.

ST2 and AvP both have the potential to be great films regardless of their straight to vidoe route and questionable cast and crew.

ST2 is DVD only so there's no chance to choose to see it at the cinema. Personally I'm going to wait for AvP to hit DVD too before I see it. I think it's worth £3.75 and a trip to Blockbusters but not £7.00 and an evening at the flicks

i think i will wait for it to come out on dvd as well.....

loads of extras n stuff on it  :narnar:

Totally agree - It does key in on the whole Gordon Gecko thing.  Although I disagree 'bout Kurtwood Smith - when he snarls at the beginning "Can you fly Bobby" before chucking that guy out the van, and during the ensuing slaying of Murphy I think he shows a really sadistic, albeit somewhat ott, streak.

Can't wait for AVP - just pray to god it doesn't turn into another Resident Evil  <_<

Got me thinking ...

The latest Hollywood genre appears to be Zombies. Surely Jesus was the first Zombie  :huh:  

[Gh0st Face Killah]

Hence the release of The Passion of Christ, describing Jesus's life before he became a Zombie.

I too am looking forward to the release of AvP. Although I have to say Preadator 2 why? The Aliens and Predator are some of my fav movie baddies.
