I, Robot - How to Ruin a Good Movie

Rating: 5/10 (27 December 2004)

I watched this movie with great anticipation - I like science fiction movie, the movie commercials looked great, the plot was interesting (based on a novel by the great science fiction writer Issac Asimov.) I was sorely disappointed. While the movie's plot was indeed interesting, photography was good, and the special effect was entertaining, the movie was ruined by bad scripts and poor/inappropriate humor.
The movie never explained to my satisfaction the robot-phobia of the main character, Detective Swooner. A robot one time chose to save Swooner instead of a young girl in a car accident. Was it a sufficient reason to become obsessive robot-phobic to the extreme? Was it bad script or bad acting? Or both? Similarly, why the Three Laws of Robotics, "One, a robot may not injure a human being, or through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm; Two, a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law; Three, a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.", must lead to a robot revolution? And why suicide was the only option available for the robots' creator to warn human kind of such revolution? The movie never explained the reasons fully.
Most importantly, despite the two above drawbacks, the movie can still be a serious and good science fiction movie. However, excessive and inappropriate jokes made by Swooner throughout the movie render it into a Will Smith comedy act, a second-rate joke of a movie.
In summary, I, robot, a good movie spoiled!
