I Didn't Know "I, Robot" is Code for "Infomercial"

Rating: 5/10 (12 December 2008)

A solid plot, unique setting and talented cast of actors; the recipe to a great film, right? Wrong.
See, this movie COULD have been a good movie, but instead opted to be a disastrous disappointment. And, it wasn't the over-the-top acting or the impossible action scenes or even the catchy-cliché script.
It was the sellout attitude that everyone took part in.
Every time I felt the movie was even slightly watchable, Will Smith and his buddies, suddenly, interrupted the plot to sell me sneakers or an Audi. Not that you could lose the moral if you tried because, thankfully, the scriptwriters raped your mouth with the moral after every sales-pitch. Basically, the movie was Will Smith, Chuck Taylor's and an attempt at a heart-warming robot epidemic.
This movie was a hemorrhoid on the anus of American intellect.
In fact, this movie shines a light on the very flaw Will Smith has that doesn't allow me to respect him. That flaw is that, on many occasions, he will opt for money over quality. He has made two respectable films (Ali & In Pursuit of Happiness), and everything else he has made is a money scheme. I Am Legend was horrendous, so was Wild Wild West and Men in Black, and the list goes on. He makes these cash-cow summer blockbusters at the expense of quality in the film industry. It is a sad thing to see a talentless person become somebody influential, but it is even sadder to see such a talented person manipulate his talent to become a legalized con-artist.
Don't watch this movie. It's predictable, disgusting and, overall, stupid.
