10 Changes That Made RoboCop 2014 Vastly Inferior To The Original

4. No Violence

It's one thing to remake RoboCop, but to remake RoboCop without the over the top, blood-thirsty violence that made it so darn good in the first place? Well, it's - quite frankly - blasphemous. So, yes, to the chagrin of fans everywhere, RoboCop 2014 was slapped with a castratingly awful PG-13 rating. It's really not that RoboCop needs to be excessively violent to tell its story, more that it simply should be. What else is there to this movie save for its gun-ho and downright ridiculous depictions of violence, after all? It's called "RoboCop," for God's sake. C'mon! The same thing recently happened to the likes of Taken 2, and in both Die Hard 4.0 and A Good Day To Die Hard, where the producers at the top of the food chain decided that a larger audience haul was more important than what actual fans might want. From a business perspective, it makes sense, but there's also a level of irony at work here that is almost hilarious: RoboCop was a movie that took a shot at corporate greed, and RoboCop 2014 is a movie designed purely to cater to corporate greed. The fact that they gave it a PG-13 rating,... well, it's just icing on the cake.
