Apparently a Robocop Remake has been announced as in development over the weekend. After six not so good sequels, along with a television show, I think it is about time. I loved Robocop, and there is some good stuff in the sequels. Honestly I think there’s only two things in the movie sequels that were good (when Robocop tells his widow that they made him to honor her husband, and the death of his partner, Lewis). As for the made for TV movies, they were all right but half way through it turned into another movie all together, featuring Robocop and his new Robo buddy. A reboot might just be what the series needs, but if they decide to do sequels to it hopefully they won’t be as bad as the previous ones.
