Claudia: It is an extraordinary film. 听From the first scene alone you go, 鈥渨hat am I watching?!鈥� Jared Leto鈥檚 performance was phenomenal.

Danny: It鈥檚 a big risk when an actor piles of the weight or starves himself- you don鈥檛 see the character, you just see the scales. But that鈥檚 not true here. This is a phenomenal performance playing a fascinating character.

Peter: It鈥檚 an absolute barnstormer. He鈥檚 got to this stage where he鈥檚 not acting, he鈥檚 almost transcendentally relaxed- he reminds me of a young Jeff bridges. He doesn鈥檛 have to try. He is just giving it to you, selling it to you. He鈥檚 really terrifically good.

Danny: The original had more than lunatic cartoon violence. It was this trashy, gaudy, beautifully reputable B-movie. There鈥檚 very little of that B- movie brilliance here. There鈥檚 an odd little glimmer, but that鈥檚 mostly from Gary Oldman playing this mad scientist. More than anything, this film feels polite and earnest and quite apologetic.

Peter: I don鈥檛 think I鈥檝e ever seen a reboot or remake which is so signally failing to get the point of the original film. The original film was a satire, it was a black comic gem, the idea of a Robocop clanking around wheezing and clanking with tis thrilling hilarious efficiency and ruthlessness- that鈥檚 not just scary or exciting- it鈥檚 funny. If it鈥檚 not funny then it鈥檚 not anything at all. This totally fails to get it.听

Claudia: A beautiful film. I thought it was beautifully shot.

Danny: It鈥檚 very well made. How do you make a film about a highly charismatic, hugely successful man and a shy insular girl without her being overshadowing and becoming the invisible woman in her own movie? I think it cracks that problem.

Peter: I liked it very much. I found it a very passionate film, and very few films are passionate. I thought it was very interesting because Charles dickens is such a clich茅d figure in pop culture and this reinvents him as this extraordinary extrovert and hero. I think it鈥檚 clever in the way that the title does not relate to his secret mistress but to the other invisible women in his life.
