10 Worst Film Remakes Since 2000

9. Robocop

This reboot of Paul Verhoevens 1987 original isnt a movie at all but a glorified series pilot, so bland and asinine that it belongs on the Sci Fi Channel. The wit, violence and satire have been stripped away, and all that remains is a generic revenge story told in a PG-13 fashion.

Theres a funny scene in the original where Ronny Coxs corporate villain says he had a guaranteed military sale with ED 209 renovation program, spare parts for 25 years, the works. Then he says, Who cares if it worked or not? Thats this movie in a nutshell.

Even a watered down, lifeless Robocop movie has an audience, not to mention franchise potential who cares whether it works or not? Just add some cool effects, throw in a bunch of name actors (something the original didnt really have) and youve got a guaranteed sale. Now shut up and show us the money.
