I like the movie *greatest of all time*, but got kinda upset about some reviews I read in the papers which were simply mean; just give me three minutes of your time, please.

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2004)

To all potential viewers, fans and critics,
I must say that individual people are indeed free to hold their views and opinions on movies, and in this case, 'I, Robot'. Some people may be entirely against it, or totally supporting it, and I for one, am with the supporters. Not only is the plot an excellent one with the three laws of robotics and it's complications, but also the special effects and emotions spread throughout the movie are what makes it whole.
People who gave this movie a low rating are probably not all too interested in science fiction and robotics. That's fine. But one review I have read in the papers was sliming the movie all the way, save for the odd positive comment. In this review, for every one good thing said about the movie, there were at least six to seven pieces of negative input. That, I found unfair. Further more, this is a review that many people will read and could be put off about watching the movie. I read it, and that same day went to see if 'I, Robot' was really as bad as it was made out to be, and found that it was entirely the opposite.
What was strange about this review, I found, was that after all the bad things said about it, it was still given four out of five stars. Even Spider Man 2 was given four stars. And to add to that, 'I, Robot' raked in an amazing US$52.25 million in North American theaters over three days (Friday through Sunday), while Spider Man 2 took in less, but still an impressive amount of US$24.2 million. But somehow, bad things said about movies often imprint themselves more strongly in people's minds than the good.
Such reviews I find damaging. If the movie really is disappointing to the public, (which I don't think it was, judging by the impressed nods and raised eyebrows of the people I asked about the content of the movie) the people who have already watched it may personally spread the word, but the mass population who reads the negative review in the papers is likely to miss out on a great movie. This also decreases the movie's potential profit.
But I am not here to preach, and I cannot stop people from selfishly harming the movies that directors, actors and crew have slaved over for months to bring you fun and entertainment. But I only hope that my review here will help people think for themselves and not take things at face value.
'I, Robot' is a great movie and I think you should not miss it. I cannot force you to watch the movie, but even if you are not a big fan of futuristic movies or robotics, I still say you should watch it; you'll be surprised at how appealing the movie is. As was and is my case. On the other hand, if such things interest you, you certainly will not be disappointed.
The plot is as interesting as or perhaps even more so than the Matrix plot, though somewhat different.
And personally, on the scale of 1-10, 'I, Robot' is way off the scale on the up side.
Thank you for taking time to read my opinion on this movie and I hope I have convinced you to watch it. IT'S THREE THUMBS UP!
