The Take
Robocop (2014) is not worth watching. Slop Score 51.
Joel Kinnaman holds the screen but the script plays everything straight, swapping the original's vicious satire for a safe PG-13 corporate thriller. CGI bloat replaces practical effects while the bite gets filed down to nothing.
The Verdict
Skip it. The 2014 Robocop is a textbook case of Hollywood sanding off every sharp edge until nothing risky remains. Slop Score 51.
Watch the 1987 original instead. Verhoeven's version still draws blood.
