I wish they stuck to the silver look too. Somehow it just looks so much sharper.

I actually had no problem with the black armour...until I saw it :P

And to add insult to injury, not only have they put the chrome armour in there, BUT IT ACTUALLY LOOKS FREAKIN COOL TOO!!! I just CANNOT understand why the director/producers saw the black next to the metalic and decided the black looked better! The only decent thing about the new armour is it's f***** ripped-off Cylon visor!

Hell, I might have even decided to watch the film if they had just kept it black through out the entire film, but now I just know I'm going to be sitting through most of the film thinking "man, I wish they'd kept his armour was metalic!"

On the other hand, I like his new mobility, the stiff walking was the only thing that needed improving in the original Robocop, which thankfully they've done, but have subsequently ruined everything else.

Yes, I was referring to the metallic grey. Also, I feel like too many people are jumping to way too many conclusions. Just by watching the trailer I would bet that towards the end of the movie the throwback armor will be the one Robocop ends up wearing and will wear if there is a sequal. The black armor is just the prototype to the real armor and this should please fans.

I know people are annoyed and I love the originals as well, but with technology that we have it makes sense with such advanced hardware that something like Robocop would move so quick. I mean think about it, a well placed RPG on the Robocop of old and that's it, because he moved like a tank. Also in the original Robocop they were going to keep his arm, but the suits said no and did away with it. In this new one they keep the arm. I'm seeing all sorts of nods to the original and I think this is one remake that actually makes sense based on where technology is today and being able to deliver on a very cool vision. My only complaint is it's not rated R. So I say give it a chance.
