Robocop

Robocop is a classic science fiction film that pretty much any body would have seen, I would be surprised if someone hadn't. The original film came to the screens in 1987. The inspiration for Robocop came form another classic science fiction film Blade Runner. RoboCop went onto inspire Judge Dredd the comic book series, the film was a winner to the audience. The visual effects was created by stop motion animation, the models were designed by Craig Davies and then they were animated by Phil Tippett. Chiodo Brothers production created and animated the dinosaur puppet in the 6000 Sux advertisement.




RoboCop has been remade and updated, I hadn't really thought much of what the remake would be like, if am honest I didn't think it would be good as I am one for the original classics. However I was pleasantly surprised with the reboot as it wasn't just a remake of the original, it also had a different story (not completely different though). It's the slight changes that I liked very much. They certainly improved from the original. They made the film appeal to the audience of now a days. Although the film it self has received mixed reviews, in my opinion people who have seen the original and have grown up with it shouldn't be used to measure the quality of the film as it clouds the judgement and compare the film to the original rather than judging it on a stand alone film.  There are parts of the film that relate back to the original that adds as a little bonus for the film. The visual effects have been updated for this generation which are an improvement to the original as it seems more realistic and appeals to the teen generation. Personally, both movies have there merits and downfalls but overall they are exceptional films.
