Terrible Robocop ripoff
awful script. so much implausible nonsense, it's not even worth documenting it.
I'm a Die Antwoord fan, but this was just a giant strokefest to them, not an actual film.

It features a humanoid police robot who fights with a much larger police robot that was rejected for being too violent and scary. That's at least something like Robocop.

Um . . . not sure if serious?

What do you think humanoid means?

That's a reasonable description, even though it's irrelevant since I called Chappie a humanoid robot, not Robocop. Good idea backing away from your other silly position, even though you've kind of revealed how frail your ego is given that simply saying "whoops I was wrong" is apparently a bit too hard for you.
Regardless: you're a being a bit of a semantics dullard. The point still stands that both films feature humanoid 'robotic' police dudes fighting a much larger, nastier reject police/security robot, ergo:
That's at least something like Robocop.

You're being a semantics dullard because you're splitting hairs about something that doesn't matter. Chappie is a humanoid robot fighting a large scary robot. Robocop is a humanoid cyborg/robot/man-machine/robotic being/whatever you want to call him fighting a large scary robot. The point I made was there's at least some similarity between the movies there, and not nothing you as you claimed.

You said this was nothing like Robocop. If the director himself is saying he took the idea for his big scary robot from the big scary robot in Robocop (I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that Blomkamp actually said this), that therefore means that the two movies are something like each other. Something is not nothing.
Can you understand that, or do you need more help?

Ah, the old "I'm gonna disguise my idiocy as weak trolling" gambit. That's really cool, man. ๐

Not trying to pick on you, but "It's nothing like robocop" is word for word your first post in this thread.

About 5 minutes into the film I thought 'robocop'.
I think the argument whether it's about a cyborg or a robot is irrelevant. Both stories are about consciousness and about identity and growth (as a 'human'). The main difference is Chappie learns humanity and Robocop learns to be Murphy again. I would also add that RC also deals with nostalgia and loss, where Chappie learns emotions and human consciousness.
I do agree that Moose was too much like ED 209.
Despite the similarities, I enjoyed this movie way more than I expected.
I agree that it's nothing like Robocop. However, Chappie is 100% humanoid. Humanoid just means that the thing you're talking about has a vaguely human shape, and Chappie does.

Its a mix of RoboCop and Short Circuit.
Chappie is from the law enforcement "RoboCop", Jackman's character is "Dick Jones", his big robot "ED-209", Siguorney Weaver is "the old man"
Short Circuit is when Chappie is the only robot, out of tons of units in assembly line, to come alive and starts learning.
