I had a choice, particularly with actors, of going with older actors who weren't
really stars because I
really couldn't afford them, or go with
young actors who were unknown because I thought they would
appeal to the
audience.
Whilst that I can acknowledge that it did take the film in a slightly different direction, and tried
to do something a little different than the original (for example letting Murphy retain his memory whereas in the original Murphy was wiped or delving more into the family life of Murphy both as a human and as RoboCop), but for me it missed out on having the main villain, it cashed in on using the original them tune (which
to be honest I did kinda like), the shoe - horning in of some of the original one liners that
really felt out of place, there was tonnes of CGI which unfortunately is
to be expected these days and I felt it was considerably toned down
to appeal more
to the
younger audience, losing the over gratuitous violence and blood that the original had which in my opinion gave it some of the charm that it still has today.
Animations are great though and the cutscenes holding the story together are done
really well with good voice acting across all characters, mainly
appealing to the
younger audiences with it being similar in style
to the Sonic Boom animated series.
