Like getting a present wrapped with $100 wrapping paper with $5 bill inside

Rating: 3/10 (19 July 2004)

You know that you're in trouble when only two people in the whole theatre are laughing at the jokes. I, Robot is the latest Hollywood action movie. Though I loved Will Smith in MIB, ID4 and even Enemy of the State, his acting in this movie was less than memorable. Or maybe is was just the really, really bad dialog. Except for Will's movie grandmother everyone else was forgettable at best. The plot was more than poor it was juvenile and having Will be angry because a robot saved him instead of someone else was silly, especially when we find out that he has benefited from robotics.
Most of all I hated the ending. Human pride took over, so Will gets to save everyone inspite of the fact that we know that Sonny could have done it just as well. No imagination whatsoever on the part of the writers. A better ending would have been for Sonny to have saved them both. I liked the Terminator robots take over the world movies better.
