I love the sharpness and political tone of RoboCop and I think that such a film is now urgently needed.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I liked 'Robocop' because of the director, and it was an intelligent, big-action studio movie.
RoboCop the first movie was fantastic. But even if there was no movie, the concept of RoboCop is brilliant, first because it lends itself to a lot of social criticism, but also because it poses a question, 'When do you lose your humanity?'
'RoboCop' was maybe the best summer of my entire life.
The original 'RoboCop' was X-rated, and then they had to cut it down so it became R-rated, and Verhoeven claimed that actually made the movie more violent, because it's what you don't see that actually scares you.
What we did wrong on 'RoboCop,' we just did something new and didn't really take into account what the fans really loved about the original.
Film is a medium of clear lines and broad strikes - which can be fantastic - but compared to the subtleties and nuances of a novel, it doesn't even get close.
I think I've seen the first 'RoboCop' like 15 or 20 times. I'm like a kid that way.
I feel that film is inevitably the medium of the future. It has been for years, decades, but more so now than ever.
Film is the toughest one for me, as there are many fingers in the pot, so it can be disappointing. However, to have your work seen on such a large scale, that's a very exciting prospect.
When I first heard 'Robocop' was going to be remade. I said, 'Yeah, that's interesting. I'll probably watch that at some point, but I'm not interested at all to be in it.'
