I, Robot isn't nearly as bad as Maddox makes out, its a reasonably enjoyable action film. Having not read the book, I can't comment on its accuracy, but the action scenes are NOT lame (not the best I've seen but certainly impressive) and people who disagree clearly aren't into action films, and cannot be expected to like the film.

But ... is the action good enough to endure through all the other crap that automatically comes with a generic Will Smith movie?

By the way, I wont believe you. [addsig]

I don't think the book would have translated into a very profitable movie though (remember? It's all about profit!) And they might have had a hard time signing on Will Smith if it was a more philosophical/intellectual kind of movie. Granted, I haven't seen it and don't plan on ever doing so.

Its typical Will Smith, if you dislike him you'll dislike the film I guess. Oh and his swagger...its bordering on laughable! I thought the film was good despite his typical cheesy performance however, plenty of quite intense action scenes to spice it up.

The film takes the main idea behind what happens in the film- SPOILER: that protecting human kind should be a 0th law that takes precedence over individual lives; however, in the books it's not so Hollywood-ised and robots try to do it from behind the scenes. Other than that, it's very different from the book, apart from something to do with a murder.

Anyway, the film isn't that bad, although yes Will Smith does churn out his one-liners and attempts at funnies every two minutes, which gets irritating. I also found it incredibly predictable- not because I read the book, but as it's standard movie fare :/ Don't think I've ever seen such blatant product placement before either- it's not hard to miss what shoes he wears, and what car he drives...

Heh, must make it a bit easy to see the spoilers if you're using one of the site's alternate themes.

AVP

Well, first off, I know Reno will f**king love this movie.

Basically, the movie is cheesy/corny and completely awesome.

This movie IS Aliens fighting Predator ... thats it. There's barely any character development with the humans in the movie.
This has also been one of the only movies I've ever seen that seems to go by in a heart beat, even though the running time is somewhere around 90 minutes.

What could have made it better?
More gore. An R rating ... breasts. Just follow the patterns of the other Alien/Predator movies and you'll get the idea.

However, this movie seems to have been made for the fan base. If you've ever read any of the comics ... you will dig this movie. (Theres a bunch of Alien references, besides the actual Aliens, as well)

Anyway, if you didn't like Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat, or Event Horizon ... go f**king blow your brans out now, I hate you [addsig]

I wan't to see that film for all the wrong reasons

Crono, glad to hear it, I've been kinda looking forward to seeing it since seeing posters in the cinema and things. The trailer didn't impress me much but I'm glad to hear its a good cheesy action fest

I agree the film wasnt "just another teen movie" it was actuallt witty.....anyways the movie to see is "The Village" much like the other two movies that M. Night did it was a jumpy movie (6th sence, Signs), you all have to see it.

....lol this tread has grown to 41 pages, all orphs doing.... to bad he cant see it as he is gone from the pit.

The girl next door was decent.

The bourne supremacy was pretty poor overall. I felt like I was viewing the action scenes through the eyes of an epileptic.
