United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"It] meets the era’s darker demands for action reboots with machine-tooled efficiency and a hint of soul."	POS
United Kingdom	Chris Hewitt Empire	"Throughout, one character refers to the new RoboCop as 'Tin Man' and to the film’s credit, it desperately wants to have a heart. Oh, if it only had a brain. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
United States	Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"This remake of the 1987 dystopian classic has a better cast, more meticulous script and, naturally, flashier effects, but it lacks the original's wit and subversive slipperiness."	NEU
United Kingdom	Mark Adams Screendaily	"Despite a few classy effects-driven moments it spirals to a rather flat and forgettable ending."	NEG
United Kingdom	Matthew Turner View London	"Remains watchable thanks to strong performances and pacey direction but it fails to improve on the original film in any significant way. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	""There's a lot to enjoy here (...) unlike the recent, empty-headed 'Total Recall' remake, for example, this movie comes at you with an idea or two. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"This Robo-reboot tries fiercely to update the satirical punch and stylistic perversity Paul Verhoeven's 1987 original. It's a futile gesture. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"A nicely cast, respectable remake."	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Moviegoers are stuck with this sci-fi thriller's bland story, murky cinematography and frenetic special effects. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
