RoboCop (2014)
8/10
Action packed, no satisfying protagonist, but a good movie
15 February 2014
Warning: Spoilers
You know what, it is a decent movie. It is worth seeing tell you that much. The movie drags at some parts, but that is bearable. The action is nice and the suit is cool(I wonder how the actor actually wore it all the time during the shooting of the film). Aside from the wardrobe the plot is where they lost some of the stars, in truth its a 7.5(I voted 8 to increase the rating) star movie, but if you subtract Samuel L. Jackson I think it would have been an 8. His facial expressions during his speeches reminded me of a frog.

Moving away from animals and on to robots and the robocop. The movie is different then the original which makes it good. The story is different, the villain is different. They did not stick to one main villain, they just threw a couple in the movie and it jumped from one to another. Robocop avenged his death in approximately 60 seconds. Coming in shooting all the bad guys and leaving, also they did not make the bad guy bad enough. He was just a gun dealer who paid off some cops, so what? The good of the movie is his training and becoming robocop, the virtual reality, the not so distant vision of the future made it look and real as we are in the not so far distant future. But why could the producers and the CGI crew make the background slightly more realistic in the office view.

They could have attempted to through a spin into the movie, revealing that the owner of omnicorp was a devious mastermind and was ruthless from the start planning to destroy robocop after the bill was passed, but unfortunately they did not. Maybe it would have been for the better or for the worse, but a more evil and twisted villain was needed in this movie to make it great. Otherwise, sorry you are honestly a 7.5 star movie. You were onto something, but lost it.

Elysium (I) (2013)
6/10
Interesting and entertaining, but the story falls apart
9 August 2013
I am a Bourne trilogy fan, and enjoy watching Matt Damon, but this movie had stale conversations didn't really bring the act to this. The action was decent though, the stand offs were very entertaining and overall it was a good movie. Except for one major part, the story comes out as him trying to save himself, then turns to saving the entire planet, and then him saving his girlfriends daughter. Even there is the problem the characters were not developed, the viewer seems random flashbacks of his life one I think was around 3 times. Never though do they explain the story of him and his girlfriend and where does she get the baby from.

Away from children, and back to reality another drawback of the movie is it's politics system. Seems as though Mexico took over USA in 130 years because everyone speaks Spanish, and all the French people took all the rich people and flew out in space.

Lastly, are the effects, some were cheap (first crash landing) and some were awesome (elysium itself and the gruesome splatter effects). There were neat ideas put into the movie of how it is going to be in 130 years. The scene with the parole officer was amusing. Also, I gotta admit the shield that the bad guy was using was wicked, and the whole reconstruction/healing was neat or at least as long as your brain works (go see the movie you know what I am talking about)

This is my first review, thought I will try to write and maybe was a bit harsh with my rating, but I think the idea has potential, but should have been worked on a little more. Oh, my girlfriend thought that the awfully accented bad guy was Chuck Norris.
