RoboCop Remake vs. Total Recall Remake

Please spare us! Remakes suck in general and this one is no exception. The original version was no brainy philosophical exercise, but this one is all that plus a boring lack of action! At least, if I devote 2 hours of my life to watching either one of these two movies, Id like to see action, rather than politically correct pondering of what is better: shooting suspects with, or without conscience. At least the Original movie was unequivocal. This lukewarm *beep* is a reflection of how far down the slippery slope of political correctness our society has progressed in 30 years.

How about we all stop referring to Total Recall a remake. This latest adaptation (yes, it's based on a novella) is actually closer to "We Can Remember It For You, Wholesale" than the first adaptation, which was tooled about with so much, and so badly, to accommodate Arnie. Now, when you mention Total Recall you immediately think of the classic Schwarzenegger ham-fest instead of this wannabe sci-fi masterpiece (which I agree it is not). Giving the film a different name may have helped it, but then the same dumb audience that calls it a remake would have been then calling it a rip-off.

What many are missing is the point to this adaptation. With the new Total Recall, the aim was to try and make it as a bridge between Minority Report and BladeRunner, and try and create a singular universe, and a mass franchise around the works of Phillip K. Dick. So sad that it failed, and all parties pulled away. Now, all we have to look forward to is some half-baked retread of BladeRunner, and a dull continuation TV series of Minority Report.

Robocop obviosly.

Avengers Assemble!

Not even close. Total Recall was more faithful to the book. RoboCop remake did everything possible to become a worse film than Robocop 3!

Robocop was watchable with some interesting aspects, Total Recall was utter and total crap. Robocop 6 or 7/10, Total Recall maybe 3 or 4/10.
