Joel Kinnaman’s RoboCop: A Modern Take on a Classic Costume
When filmmakers remade the 1987 classic “RoboCop” in 2014 with Joel Kinnaman as the titular character, fans anticipated an upgraded and visually stunning costume, given advancements in technology since the ’80s. However, while the redesigned suit was indeed an improvement over the original, some viewers found themselves slightly disappointed with the outcome.
Despite the mixed reception, one notable feature of the updated suit was its retractable visor, which allowed for more frequent and earlier glimpses of RoboCop’s face. This addition provided a fresh perspective on the character. It enhanced the audience’s connection with the protagonist, showcasing the filmmakers’ efforts to modernize the iconic costume while staying true to its roots.
