Now that you talk about it, I find it funny when I see direct-to-dvd films with covers full of 5 stars ratings and reviews with ridiculously over-the-top praise from newspapers/magazines I've never heard of.

I confess the first time I saw that I really thought "wow, this must be something special", now it's just a red flag saying "stay away".

I think a lot of people here think the same: this movie could be a visual fx experience, but not the deep film they promised. In the begining, I was curious about the flick. Then hated what I saw, but later I found Padilha´s words interesting. He made some good points and talked about humanity, the danger of artificial inteligence and stuff like that. Great. Also, the board was flooded by fans of the director, saying that "Tropa de Elite" was amazing and he´s a great director blablabla.

But they did a film that doesn´t reach the things Padilha said, and even the things you´d expect from RoboCop. I watched the PG rated third film and The Series, so I saw a less violent Murphy before, but this film has like 2 action pieces and boring, which could be a contradiction because they happend very fast and doesn´t have a long lenght. A missed opportunity, really.

I think the subtleties in this film were perfect, and I think the subject matter was handled perfectly. I even think the special effects and design work was nearly perfect. The cinematography was nearly perfect. The only things that held this movie back were the amount of violence and action that was limited by the rating, but even with the PG-13 rating the action could have been better. So no, I don't personally consider it a "perfect classic" like the original, but had they not played it so safe, it could have been. It's still an extremely satisfying film for me, but it doesn't even come close to the caliber of film the original was.

After some consideration, looking back at the film... I don't think it's actually a PG-13 movie! It may have that rating, but only the Robo-disassembled sequence takes it into that category. If not for that one little scene, I don't think it would have got the PG-13 rating!
