9 Movies That Were Better Remakes Than Official Remakes

8. Upgrade Is A Better Robocop Remake Than Robocop (2014)

Robocop Upgrade
MGM/OTL

Upgrade is absolutely bonkers, in the best possible way. Functioning as an amalgamation of all the best bits in any given science fiction movie from Blade Runner to The Matrix, this dystopian future heralds a time when a quadriplegic man can be healed with a nano-computer installed in his spine.

When it unexpectedly begins to talk to him however, a whole new set of problems begins to arise: such as turning into a literal killing machine.

Controlled by a chip and out for vengeance, Upgrade works as the Robocop remake Jose Padilha wishes he made, combining a human/android hybrid with some seriously eye-watering retribution in the form of unzipping people's faces.

Stipulated with an underlying detective case that sees human intuition join with sheer robot strength, Logan Marshall-Green's Grey is the ultimate justice-delivering peacekeeper in far better fashion than Robocop's uninspired 2014 remake.
