HMM.. I actually agree with that.

You can take that to the bank!

Awesome film. I was initially hesitant about reboots but am coming around to this wave of new versions, more worryingly I'm half way through Total Recall and enjoying it.

Doesn't look bad - it'll have to be damn good to top the original though.

Is that Gary Oldman?!

Yes it is tut

I think I liked the original concept better, with him not knowing he was human from the get-go, not remembering he was Murphy once...

But this looks cool as hell too

"I'd buy that for a dollar!" - no really! I wouldn't spend more than 66p on seeing this.

Looks like a shallow effects-driven reboot, rather than the dark social commentary of the 1988 original, about corporate mismanagement, greed, corruption and loss of individual freedoms - all themes applicable today.

Too many reboots, made for the sake of making them, shallow as a teaspoon and failing dismally to understand WHAT made the original films good in the first place.

Fright Night is a prime example. The original was a tongue in cheek horror, where the main character finds a vampire living next door and with nobody to believe him goes to the actor who plays "Van Helsing" on TV and begs him to help slay the vampire. In the reboot, the main character is told (at the start of the film - so no suspense) that his neighbour IS a vampire and is then taken to stage magician who also (co-incidentally) believes in vampires but won't help slay them. All the suspense, irony and humour is totally sucked out, leaving a horror-comedy that isn't scary or funny. If you want to see something better with Anton Yelchin in it, watch "Odd Thomas" - that was true to the spirit of the source material.

As a Paul Verhoven fan (Robocop, Basic Instinct, Flesh+Blood, Total Recall, Starship Troopers) and a big fan of the original film, I have very low hopes of this film being any better than Robocop 2, or the car-crash-bad Robocop TV series....

It looks ok although the story line might be a bit weak.

My biggest criticism would be why make him look like a Cylon.....
