Im not sure what to make of this movie yet. I think it looks very good, but also filled with a lot of one-liners from Will Smith, which isnt a great thing, and a lot of special effects. But other than Will looking as 'cool' as ever I think it could be pretty good.
I am looking forward to it.

The movie looks interesting, but I'm hesitant to see anything with Will Smith. I may end up seeing it eventually, but I'm pretty sure his performance will dissapoint me no matter what.

I don't love .. nor detest Will Smith as an actor (detest as a musician though). I thought the film was half decent, never read any of the books pertaining to the title name and the three laws.
A lot of eye candy yes.. but from Terminator to Matrix, Bicentennial Man to A.I... even Data off Star Trek. I'm in love with the ideas toying with machine consciousness, rebellion, experiencing emotion etc..

I actually enjoyed this movie. It wasn't thing great but it was a fun hour or so. I have actually read the short stories but I was about 8 so can't really remember them...
I usually abhor Will Smith but in this movie he kind of toned down the whole "I'm black" thing that he never really got over after Fresh Prince of Belair.
The product placement really annoyed me as well. Everytime Will gets in his car be prepared for ten minutes of looking at the logo of the car brand.

"I, Robot" in a nutshell:
I saw the movie "I, Robot" recently, a film based loosely on a book written by science fiction author Isaac Asimov. In case you're not familiar with Asimov's writing, here's a list of things the movie had in common with the book:
# The title.
I don't know why, but after the movie I came out of the theater wanting to buy a pair of Converse shoes (vintage 2004), have them delivered to my local FedEx station, drive my MV Augusta SPR motorcycle to pick them up, stop by the shop to have my new JVC CD player installed in my Audi, pick up a couple of Dos Equis on my way home, wash it down with an Ovaltine and then invest what money I have left into a mutual fund with Prudential Life Insurance.
I'm not exaggerating: this movie plugged 5 companies within a 10 minute block of time. That's roughly one advertisement every two minutes. Most whores don't see that kind of action. What makes a good movie good and a movie like this cunny waft is that in a good movie, every shot counts; every word uttered has a purpose. You won't find the characters saying things like "nice shoes" to which Smith replies "vintage 2004." Thanks for the update assholes, we couldn't have figured out that the products you're cramming down our throats actually exist in real life.
Speaking of sloppy story, they could have cut this movie down to 3 minutes and still said everything they said in its current form. Here's how I would have changed this film: start out with a shot of Will Smith in a grocery store buying a 6 pack of Dos Equis beer, except instead of paying, the cashier is a Dos Equis marketing rep who hands Smith a thick wad of bills. Next shot: Smith finishes the last of the beer, walks over to Isaac Asimov's grave and lets loose:
Why not? Same message, none of the bullshit.
Other than giving creative control of the movie's content to advertisers as, Will Smith stars as a nudist cyborg cop who has a prejudice against robots (seriously). The director had one tight shot on Smith's ass after another. It was enough to make women in the audience squirm. I even overheard a gay guy in front of me say to his partner "wow, this is pretty gay." Then they started making out, not because they necessarily wanted to, but because they wanted to remind people that they have the right, and a theater is a great place to make a political statement.
The only cool thing about the movie is that it has robots in it--or so I thought. They turned something as inherently cool as a master race of robots into a blubbering suck-fest of limp-dicked pussies wimpering endlessly about their feelings. Instead of running around beating women, children, and weaker men, the robots stood around baking cup cakes and talking about boys. It was like being in a candle store without a pipe bomb. Bad news.
Don't see this travesty.

I'm currently reading the book. Started reading it before I even knew the movie was coming out. The fact that Will Smith is in it is a major fucking turn off which is a desperate shame as the book is very cleverly written. In the right hands it could have been a superb film.

I just thought that was rather amusing piece off Maddox's website. I'm not a fan of product placement in the film. I wouldn't rate it with my Top 50 favorites, but yeah.. i'd still call it half decent. It was ok entertainment, nothing moving, nothing truly thought provoking that hasn't been brought up in sci-fi 100 times before.

I havent read the book but I would imagine the movie pales in comparison to it. I did however enjoy this movie, nice and mindless to watch. Will Smith wasn't as bad as I expected him to be - still a little cheesy tho and yeah, the product placements sucked.
