It missed virtually everything. Original robocop, alex murphy was a murdered cop, he woke up as a soulless machine, he lost everything, his sense of self, humanity, his family.
Rubbercop remake, alex gets a bit injured. And although a bit gruesome, he.gets a replacement iron man body. His memory isn't wiped, and he still has his family, although from watching the kid, i kinda wished he didn't. He never has to regain his sense of self, humanity, etc.
And there's the rest, no proper villain, sellers is a crap dick jones substitute, the violence just wasn't, none of the black.comedy of the.original, and when it tried hard to.be funny it failed. And i think it has the only.appearance on film of samuel l jackson that i didn't want to see.
I've seen this turd maybe 2 and a half times.I've watched the original upwards of 100 times, and.at least more than the remake since it came out. The only positive thing to say about rubbercop is that it's been mostly forgotten, the only reason i dredge this up is i find it an insult to the original, my favourite film. And people will still be watching that in another 30 years. :-)
