So, I watched a couple of movies last night.
Robocop reboot - it was alright. I liked that they deepened his personal story, it had a few funny moments (including the explanation for his new armour colour), and I liked how they animated him. He indeed moves like a robot, which is refreshing because a lot of movies and games portray mechanical augmentation as very fluid and natural. I feel bad for the person who had to do the sound effects, though... The 'healthy' hand looked a bit funny, but it was a nice touch.
Overall, it lacked in atmosphere the original one had. It's way too slick, too bright and colourful. It didn't ruin the franchise, but it didn't add anything to it either.
Rock of Ages - I'm a sucker for cheesy musicals, especially those where characters sing 90% of the time, so this was super entertaining to me. And they got actors that can actually sing! Russell Brand made the movie for me, he was hilarious.
