I was very wary of going to see another remake of a classic movie, but after seeing the new RoboCop film I was pleasantly surprised. Unlike the original, which is sort of anti-capitalist. The new movie is very much liberty minded, and bashes the mainstream media!

    In what way was the original film anti-capitalist?

    No, they painted on greedy corporate mogul as bad.

    Think of that as - the Love of Money gone too far.

    The head of the corporation was evil...And he was bribing Congress to scrap it's anti drone law. You've got a good point though. That would have been better.

    Almost every way? All the villains were capitalists. They kept doing ads for the "6000 SUX" that were over-the-top disingenuous, they even took a swipe at Reagan and Nixon.

    Absolutely! I heartily agree. And it's a real shoot 'em up as well.
