Fun ride, with OK visuals, Will Smith's Summer??

Rating: 6/10 (16 July 2004)

From ID4 to I-Robot one thing stays the same, Will Smith's comic timing, the quips in robot make it almost memorable, with a laughable plot line and under whelming character development the robots seem to feel more for this film than the actors. The political sub-plot and messiah theme ran short in the first 40 minutes with nowhere else to go but traditional action finale I-Robot finishes flat on its very mechanical back. The performances on the CG side came up short as well with all the best scenes taken to trailers where producers hoped to suck in the unknowing this film overall leaves so much to be desired it is a wonder that Smith still tries for the July Blockbuster. Let us not forget he brought us Wild Wild West and M.I.B. 2, and I-Robot is no better. The bad news is movie fans always have next summer.
