Surprisingly BAD

Rating: 5/10 (9 August 2006)

The filmmakers take a great piece of sci-fi literature and turn it into nothing more than an action vehicle for Will Smith.
granted the f/x were cool but there was no heart in this movie. It was nothing more than an excuse to show off some neato futuristic weapons and car chases - some of where were spectacular, but that's not what the original book/story was about. It's almost a crime that they used Assimov's name and book title when the movie was not what the book was about. This book has been bouncing around film companies for literally years because no one had a clue how to do it justice. This film certainly didn't do the book justice. Why bother calling it "I, Robot" when it wasn't an adaptation of the book. All they did was steal the title.
Another sci-fi book that has been in 'development hell' is "The Demolished Man", not to be confused with "The Demolition Man." At least with that book, none of the filmmakers (DePalma and Cameron both supposedly owned the rights to it at one time) wanted to do it unless they could do it right.
Wish the filmmakers of this movie felt the same way.
