I’ll admit it, I’m softening. The viral videos which have been floating around for the last while for Robocop are really good. If you’ve been reading the site for a while you’ll know I’m not a fan of this reboot at all. I’m a die hard Robocop fan, but what I’ve seen from this remake really just turned my stomach. The suit is a major bone of contention, specifically that black one. Robo looks more like a glorified version of Street Hawk than Robocop. And while I’m at it, a fucking bike? Seriously. Get the cyborg dude off the fuckin bike and into a cruiser!
Besides that though, these viral videos are breaking me down! And the latest one is no exception, which is specifically targeted at our friends in the UK. Check it out below!
