Blu-ray Review: ‘RoboCop’ Remake Struggles with Identity
Submitted by NickHC on July 5, 2014 - 9:33amCHICAGO – After years of being envisioned with numerous directors (“Noah’s” Darren Aronofsky was once attached), a new version of “RoboCop” has arrived.

Such is the case with those of us excited that the “Robocop Trilogy” is now available on Blu-ray, given the fact that the first movie is an absolute classic while the two sequels are perfect examples of what NOT to do with a franchise.
