Maybe they're different for fanboys like you and I but the lethal law enforcer, futuristic action film may looks like something the average American has seen before. Plus keep in mind the demographic who will be paying to see this movie mostly will me young males who were most likely not even born when the original came out. I know you'll think what I'm saying is bullshit cause you might be a diehard but twenty seven years ago is a long time ago. I mean if a 25 year old male saw the movie in '87 he'd be 52 years old now.

I was 8 or so when I saw the original and it was some traumatic shit. I'd never seen a film that violent or with as much profanity before in my life. I didn't grow up with a VCR, so when I saw it at a friend's house it blew me away.
It just looks like the new version is being neutered for the sake of marketing; and to just keep it a 'safe' picture, which is wrong. The original was a scathing a satire. I don't know what this one aims to be.

I've heard it claimed that the original Robocop was loosely based on Judge Dredd.

Goddamn. I saw this when I was 3. My cousins,that I was saying with cuz my mum was in the hospital giving birth to my sister, for some reason had it on the TV. I saw it. I've been pretty desensitized to gore and way too much violence cuz of that. I loved RoboCop cuz of RoboCop. The action was cool but being 3...Robo was awesome. My favorite scene in there is still the drug bust. Music blaring, Robo taking that door down, the shooting. Man...I wish we had a better BD of it cuz I'd love to own a good version of it on BD.

I would always trick my parents into renting me Robocop because they probably thought it was a silly kid's movie about a superhero police officer.

Yeah, that's just dumb design with the hand. Anyone with half a brain would aim at the hand first. Plus, it looks dumb.

from the way I've heard the script makes it out to be...it seems like it pokes harsh humor or whatever at the original...which is odd cuz it's a damn fine movie. Stuff the original had now changed for whatever reason. Seems like a an offensive way of paying respects to the film.
