I do Like Will Smith, but did not care for the movie at all. It wasn't as funny as i thought it would be & the end was awful i thought.

the matrix was way better then i,robot

This summarizes my standpoint

Who the hell rates movies from 1 to 10?

7

for me it was lil bit like "how did they save the earth form the matrix" 😖 movie.
nice watching. but even without watching preview the plot was rather predictable.

true, but a good movie nonetheless. i give it a 8. Shows a very possible future that's not too distant anymore.

😘 These bad blockbusters are killing me. I Robot is runner up in the summer crappy movies awards. We've seen the shiny chrome-plated future way too many times and done alot better than this. The dialog was so stale I couldn't finish my popcorn. The only thing that remotely held my interest was wondering if the leading lady was an android. She wasn't. Sh*tty movie.

It was all right. It had the exact oposite message from the book, though. You should go read it. Great book. Anyways, I give this movie a 6.5 or 7. It was watchable. I would go see it again. Not great, though.

This movie has to be the worst movie I ever seened.Bad acting and such a stupid plot.It got bombed if I was rating it.JM

Stupid plot, because Isaac Asimov wasn't a genius and one of the greatest scientific minds in the history of the world, right? 🙄

Tell me honestly, how much Sci Fi do you watch? Aside from this being a socially aware adaptation of the book, this was Will Smith's deepest piece of acting yet. No stupid one liners, no pithy quips. He was an incrediblt ironic character, as witnessed in the end of the film.

Havent seen it yet but will

Stupid pointless movie.Bored actlly,Sorry but this is one movie I give thumbs down!JM

I'll bump this, because it still totally applies to Jackie here...

I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. Kept me thoroughly entertained.

Sure, it's a mindless action flick, but who cares, it's good watching those every now and then.

It's not at all mindless. I don't know where anyone can get off dismissing the works of Isaac F***ing Asimov as "mindless".

What's with you people? 😠

The movie was mindless, the book probably had more of a social commentary that they didn't bother reproducing in the film. And if they did then I guess it was lost in all of the shameless JVC and Converse plugs that were running rampant in the movie.

From what I've heard the book is much different from the movie, so dismissing the movie as mindless is not dismissing the book itself as mindless.

the movie is in no way shape or form mindless, only some people that watch it are.

It's Asimov. Of course it's going to be dumbed down
somewhat for a summer blockbuster audience, but
people still had to think to make the connection of
what Proyas was trying to get across with Asimov's
teachings. But "mindless" isn't fair to people who
got the commentary that was apparently missed
by casuals like Jackie.

I've been through the whole product placement deal
also, and disagree, again. Converse, Ovaltine Cafe,
Fed EX, those weren't all shameless plugs. Most were
all visual/physical throwbacks for character relation
purposes, namely Spooner and his general dislike for
all things futuristic. It's why he doesn't own a robot,
dislikes all modern technology, only eats sweet
potato pie made by his Grandmother, etc.

Besides, think about it. You guys honestly think
that Converse/Chuck Taylor All-Stars, a shoe company
that gets maybe $30-$35 per pair of shoes could
possibly have a major hand in financing a motion
picture on the scale of "I, Robot"? Was their a subsequent
boom in there sales? Did Fed Ex just dominate more of the
shipping industry than they already do? LOL.

In an attempt to avoid going into semantics or splitting
hairs, I'm not denying some of it was intentional, but
it wasn't blatant, either. It was effectively used to get
across Spooner's disposition towards modern day
advancements. Didn't bother me one bit, and I thought
they were mostly clever, especially the Ovaltine
Cafe, and how 3 vintage domesticated beers cost
$45.

But, c'mon. The movie did require more than a pulse
and eyeballs.
