Johan :
As such we can assume Murphy will only become Robo at the end of the movie and the rest deals with him being a cop, getting killed and being turned into a machine.


With what you said here Johan, to me its almost like the movie is going to be a prequel kinda like the Star Wars movies where they started with I think what was later considered to be number 4 then over time they came out with 1-3. So if its true that you don't see no Robo til the end it could lead to more moives yet to come

Also in that one picture someone posted of Joel Kinnaman without his facial hair and smile, kinda reminded me of Eminem just in my opinion

Has anyone seen The Killing? I've been waiting to get this on Netflix since before I knew who Kinnaman was. I'm a big fan of shows where the plot unfolds slowly (The Wire, Mad Men) and this show's been getting a lot of praise from critics. But it hasn't really picked up much attention with anyone I know personally. In any case it'll be good to see how he is as an actor here and how it'll contrast with the new RoboCop.

As much as I wouldn't mind more of an origin story, I would not want a whole film sole based on Alex Murphy and only the last parts of it focusing on RoboCop. That just takes away the whole point for me.

Agreed. We have had an origin story. An honest cop gets blown away and rebuilt into a cyborg to fight crime, but actually discovers his humanity. As far as I'm concerned Murphy is unremarkable. He's just a straight up cop. He has no hidden past and needs no origin story.

Indeed, it is Murphy's role as an everyman at the start of it that makes it easy to relate to him and his journey. We know little more than that he is an all-American family man before he turns into Robocop, and that is when the character development begins.
