Watched two movies today.
First up was Predator. Never seen it before somehow. Lots of great one liners from Arnie, and every line from Jesse Ventura was pure gold. Shame he didn't last a bit longer. Overall, great movie. I found the end part of the movie not quite as interesting as the rest, and the conclusion with killing the predator could have been a bit more satisfying, but still a classic.
Next up was the Robocop reboot. It was an ok movie, but it lacked any depth and was fairly uninspired overall. It missed a lot of elements that made the original great, and didn't do a great job of capitalizing on its new elements to succeed on its own. They set up some solid ideas, but didn't really explore them, and only gave them to you in the most predictable surface level way. You could see many of the plot points coming a mile off, and then they were executed much simpler than anticipated.
The Batman/Iron Man/Transformers redesign for Robocop was bland and didn't make a lot of sense. Now that I think about it, it's somewhat ironic that the in-movie explanation for the design was basically to pander to the masses. The few callbacks to the original movie were unnecessary and added nothing. Far less effective than the original movie.
