Will Smith carries this highly enjoyable film with ease

Rating: 8/10 (18 September 2004)

I have always had a lot of appreciation for Will Smith. He demonstrated good comic talent in the TV sitcom "The Fresh Prince of Belair" and in the film "Men in Black" but also showed that he knew how to act in films such as "The Legend of Bagger Vance" and "Ali". In "I, Robot" Smith gives a performance that is not only kick-ass and cynically funny but also somewhat moving as his character Del Spooner recounts how he had desperately tried to avoid the death of a girl in an accident he had had some time before. The special effects are as good as they get these days, and there is also a great cast that includes James Cromwell as Dr. Alfred Lanning, the dead scientist who died of a presumed suicide. Enjoy it! 8/10
