RoboCop

                 Alright, this was an AWESOME movie, but before I get to reviewin', I wanna mention a few things. Okay, Thing 1: On a scale of 1-10 for family friendliness, I'd give this a 3, or maybe a 3.5.

                In the movie, it gets graphic, and there's blood flying all over the place. There's a brief sensuality scene in the beginning, and all throughout, there's swearing. So, don't even take your 8 or 9 year old to see this... in fact, any kid under 13 shouldn't see this movie; hence the PG-13 Rating.
               It seems like the movie-makers really took advantage of that rating, and *just* got off the hook with it. Any more of the crap, and it would've made it to R.

               BUT, for epic awesomeness (excluding the sensuality scene and all that) I'd give this an 8 out of 10 EM-208s. Why? Well, RoboCop, like I said, is awesome. But, it doesn't give you that feel that you had when you watched The Avengers for example. You felt that adrenaline rush, and you were on the edge of your seat, right?

               Well, in RoboCop, you sorta get that feeling at some points throughout the movie, but it's not constant, if you catch my drift. The movie has a great story-line and EVERYTHING essential to an action hero type of movie, but it doesn't *quite* deliver, ya know?

              While those parts are satisfying, you're left wanting more, but not receiving it until later on... MUCH later. Alright, to the review part.

                                                                        RoboCop

              Okay, we all saw the trailer, right? So, you know what happens to make him become the robot he is. He's blown up. Well, the reason he's blown up is because he's on a case that involves an extremely dangerous gun-dealer. And he's got cops on the inside of the force.

              This dealer realizes that Officer Alex Murphy (aka RoboCop) is hot on his trail. So in order to get rid of his threat, he tells one of his goons to do something; anything to get rid of Alex Murphy. And that's where you get the explosion. The attempted murder obviously fails as we see in the trailer.

             Now as a half-cop, half-robot, Alex is given the opportunity to prove himself as the new guy on the block in his robo-body. As he's going to be revealed for the first time in the public, the scientist (Gary Oldman- The Dark Knight Trilogy ) that gave him his robotic body attempts to give Alex ALL police records and uploads to video cameras and all that cool stuff by uploading it to his

 system.

            Does it work? Yep. But with a bummer. As it's uploading, Alex's emotional level goes up with the overload in his brain, which he still has. He still has a human brain, he's just inserted into a robotic body. So what the scientist has to do is take away his emotions...huh?

            Now RoboCop is just a robot with a human face, nothing else. With the stripping of his ability to feel emotion, he loses the care he once had for his family. All he cares about is ridding the streets of the punks that commit crime all over the place. But, he's not on the case that he once was as a man anymore. Instead, he's stopping petty crimes now.

           Here's where some violence comes in... with one drug-dealer RoboCop is going to capture, he tazes him to immobilize him. The man drops to the floor with a live grenade in his hand, and RoboCop just lets him explode. That's cold.
          Everything RoboCop does is done with no feeling, no nothing. He just does his "duties." I won't spoil anything else, but I will tell you that after this, there's a whole lot more blood, violence, and swearing.
          Then, RoboCop overrides the system, and goes after the one who wanted all this to happen, the character played by Michael Keaton. Alongside him, we got Gary Oldman (already mentioned) and Samuel L. Jackson (NICK FURY!!- The Avengers)

          So, with this cast, and story-line, RoboCop turned out to be a great film... but it coulda done better.
