Robocop is totally watchable.

It's missing the biting satire of the original.

And you can tell that through all the script re-writes that there were some interesting ideas thrown about but were ultimately dropped.

But it wasn't insulting like I thought it'd be and my whole family enjoyed themselves.

Faint praise, I know. But you could do worse.

Which was the whole point of the first film, So now it's just another action film.

Yes. Thus, the faint praise.

Only Kurt Russell can play Snake Plissken. Anyone else will be a cheap imitation.

Starship Troopers

If you were one of those who didn't care at all for last year's new take on Total Recall (which, to be fair, we thought had its moments), then you might want to take solace in the fact that it may have had an unexpected side effect. Because up until that point, plans were afoot for a new take on Starship Troopers, with less violence to it. At the end of last year, original director Paul Verhoeven told The Playlist that he didn't know if "they're going to do Starship Troopers after the failure of Total Recall". It remains somewhere in development, but things have certainly gone quiet...

thankfully, Time Bandits remains unsullied.

Has anyone watched the new Time Bandits series on Apple TV+? Any good?
