SDCC '13: Reactions To First ROBOCOP Footage

The ROBOCOP footage looked absolutely fantastic! The storyline exploring man & machine wrestling w/ his own soul & humanity sounds powerful.

RoboCop footage looked solid, not as bad as I was expecting but not amazing either. Solid action, looks good, but still not convinced. #SDCC

RoboCop reboot footage doesn't get an overly enthusiastic response but it looked ok. #SDCC #ComicCon2013 #HallH #RoboCop

I'll admit: first bit of finished RoboCop footage didn't look that bad at all. Actually looked quite good, but so did Total Recall at first.

Old ROBOCOP suit shown in Comic-Con trailer as first prototype.

Honestly, ROBOCOP footage isn't mindblowing but it's got potential. Definitely still has the satire feel, aiming at military drone usage.

In ROBOCOP, Alex Murphy doesn't die. He's merely dramatically, robotically enhanced after being fatally wounded.

The Middle East stuff was actually my favorite part, seeing the ED-209s in action securing the streets was interesting.

First footage from RoboCop borrows a whole lot from District 9 and Afghanistan Iron Man stuff in terms of visuals and tone.

The big clip that just played looks slick, but I get a sick feeling that it's going to just be a more boring version of Verhoeven's film.

I don't think RoboCop looks like the trainwreck I expected, but I'm really worried about it just being flat and mediocre.

ROBOCOP footage is interesting, ends with a horrible delivery of "Dead or alive, you're coming with me."

ROBOCOP looks very different from the original. That makes me hopeful.

Alex doesn't die in this version. That's a huge change, in my opinion. #SDCC

RoboCop 2014 looks like an exciting new TV show coming soon!! Blah.

'We're shooting this movie to be seen by as wide an audience as possible, which means PG13' don't expect excessive gore in Robocop #SDCC

Just saw the first full trailer for #Robocop. That suit looks amazing! #MichaelKeaton #SamuelLJackson #JoelKinnaman pic.twitter.com/jTvGp96KBw

RoboCop trailer makes it clear this is a different movie with an affinity for the original. Very distinct. Multiple suits. Gritty. #sdcc
