Wow! I guess I laughed a lot more than you did. by Jerry Whorebach 08/08/2014, 1:15am PDT
I assumed the core of this movie's satirical engine was the fact that the RoboCop project in the film was as pointless and ill-conceived as the RoboCop project I was watching on the screen. Like, why are we staging a gunfight with a million CGI mummies or whatever in an abandoned steel mill to no apparent purpose? Because that's what the guy putting up the money is demanding, because that's what it's going to take to get this sickening technological monstrosity a wide release in America today. I figured the reason why Gary Oldman's character got the most development was because he was the one the writer identified with. He just wanted to do good work, but that takes money... and, you know, he'd kind of like to be famous too... and there's nothing inherently wrong with the idea of a commercial robot with some actual HEART in it... and the next thing you know the transparently evil executive's got the smugly compassionate doctor compromising every principle he ever fooled himself into thinking he actually held dear (how little effort this takes on the executive's part - and especially how little effort he actually puts into it - was probably the funniest bit).

I don't know how it compares to Deus Ex because I haven't played any of them yet because I tend to tune out when people start talking seriously about violent cyborgs or thinking anything about them could possibly be considered cool instead of really horrible and tragic and I feel bad for them and the families who have to take care of them. Oh! That was another thing that worked for me in RemakeCop, the comically extreme body horror. Man this movie was firing on all cylinders.
