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.
By toning down the content for
young adults while
still sticking
to the story line, or by ramping up the explicit content for the new adult readers, authors can reach out
to an even wider
audience while giving readers the confidence that the book
appeals to the appropriate readers.
