If this is the future,then I'd like my money back please

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 2004)

This movie makes Minority Report seem like Metropolis.Yet another disrespectful take on virtually foolproof source material. Not one original idea in the whole shooting match. The underlying themes of racism,identity,and corporate control etc all dumped to attract the core audience-people who were weaned on commercials and mtv. A maverick cop story the writers of Kojak would've rejected.Will Smith in "subdued mode" we are told,more like "auto-pilot mode" as it turns out.Maybe the original script contained what is sadly missing on the screen,because this is yet another example of lazy summer blockbuster crud written by committee.Not once did I care a damn about anyone in the film.Did you think Will Smith was ever in mortal danger (as with Tom Cruise in Minority Report),the answer I'm afraid is no!Yeah some of the CGI is great,but for what this cost that's becoming the bottom line.Spend some money on a decent script,don,t treat the audience like idiots,and don't pillage great literature only to churn out pap like this.If this is the future then I want my money back please.
