One Of My Favourite Will Smith Movies

Rating: 9/10 (26 November 2014)

Continuing my plan to watch every Will Smith movie in order, I come to His second movie of 2004, I, Robot.
Plot In A Paragraph: In 2035, a technophobic cop (Smith) investigates a crime that may have been perpetrated by a robot, which leads to a larger threat to humanity.
I'll admit from the off of this review I, Robot, it is one of my favourite Will Smith movies.
Will Smith is at his charismatic best. James Crowmell (an actor, whom I adore) is at his usual high standard, Bridget Moynahan is OK in her role and Bruce Greenwood does what Bruce Greenwood does and not a lot more. But while Will Smith is at the core of the movie and generally carries most of it, for me the heart of the movie comes from Alan Tudyk as Sonny.
However it's not all good, Shia Lebouf is awful. Cringe worthingly bad. He is the weak link in the cast, his character serves no purpose at all!! It just seemed like he was there for no other reason other than to have Lebouf in the movie.
I, Robot continued his resurgence as it grossed $144 million at the domestic box office, to end 2004 as the 12th highest grossing movie of the year.
