Now I know what you're thinking, "Why did it take you that much space just to give a plot synopsis?" Well that's just one of this movie's many flaws. It's overcomplicated for a plot that had flown so intrinsically to begin with, adding new details where they weren't needed for the sake of "modernizing" the original. This shouldn't be such a big deal, after all it is a reboot, but the resulting story that's added is so far from the original you'd swear the two films weren't even related. "Unlike in Verhoeven's version, Murphy's family isn't informed of his 'death;' he is therefore given the opportunity to reconnect with his wife and son after his conversion. Their continued relationship represents a major plot element and this dynamic represents a shift from the one in the 1987 movie, where Murphy, with the help of his new partner, spent much of the running time attempting to remember his past. Here, it's about reconnecting with his lost humanity and finding a path forward" (James Berardinelli; Reelviews). This movie couldn't even consistently decide whether or not Murphy was a robot or a cyborg throughout. There's an entire scene where they specifically state that they're removing all of his emotions, and another where they inhibit his ability to control his robot body whenever he enters combat to make him less human, ergo like a robot, and then completely ignore it later on, in several other moments where we see him and his family's relationship, and even towards the end of the film where he blatantly shoots the head of Omnicorp's Raymond Sellars, even though we're told in the same scene just seconds before that this is impossible because his robo-bod has a special built in inhibitor that keeps him from doing just that. Yet he somehow does it anyway, and we're never told how. Honestly it felt like I was watching the film adaptation of some ten-year-old's Robocop fanfiction rather than a screenplay that someone was actually paid to write and direct.
