Two Thumbs Up.

Rating: 7/10 (20 July 2004)

Will Smith seems to have no trouble attracting and winning multiplex goers. Will there be a time when this success finally runs out? Even Smith probably ponders the same question (and invests for insurance albeit). His latest feature graduates from the usual alien foe of his to robots. It's a whodunnit, and average in intense action to say the least, but surprise! This movie is not as bad as critics are stomping all over it.
Chicago, 2035. Spooner is a cop with a secret and a distrust in robots. When founder of U.S. Robotics dies from a very high plunge, the alleged suicide gets a little more attention when Spooner spots a robot still at the scene of the crime.
You know, 'I, Robot' may feel average and there are some dragging parts in between action but there is a certain explosive feel about the movie that makes you admit some parts are cool. The typical pursuit scene everyone knows of gets a little creativity and Proyas adds his own little touches here and there to make the movie all the more enjoyable to watch. It's not great, but it's still one of the better ones.
