Better than expected

Rating: Null/10 (17 July 2004)

As far as summer movies go, this one exceeded my expectations. Though I don't think it'll be as popular as Spider Man 2 (different audience), I think more people will go and see it due to word of mouth.
It's certainly one of the best performances I've seen from Will Smith. The movie sports well-done effects, but is also character driven, making the social messages more explicit. I like "Spooner's" old-school, technophobe personality, and while I don't agree with all the points made, it's something valuable to keep in mind.
This is a definite must see, even if you're not a sci-fi buff.
