SINCE SEEING THIS IN THE CINEMA, IT'S BEEN MY FAVE WILL SMITH FILM.

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2018)

I, ROBOT is excellent, it's a detective Mystery Thriller in a futuristic world ruled by Robots & it's so much fun. Smith plays a troubled Chicago detective named "Del Spooner" who doesn't trust Artificial intelligence at all & he has a good reason but i won't give anything away or go into the story as many already have but i will talk about the BRILLIANT world created in this absolute action packed masterpiece!!! Smith has never been better as this tough, couldn't care less what you think, troubled cop & he portrays it perfectly, what a good solid performance by Smith & what a cracking good exciting Thriller this is, it's a big budget blockbuster, that has depth & mystery & Amazing visuals, it's just a beautifully made film that rivals the likes of "BLADERUNNER" it's that good & it's my favourite sci-fi film of the lot, & mainly due to Smith's incredible performance as "Spooner".
The movie is set in a futuristic Chicago
Where robots do most of the usual daily jobs, like garbage collection & bar keepers & walking peoples dogs & tons of other things & the city looks Amazing it has that slick & clean shiny silvery look to it, very artificial & that works well with this being a movie all about Artificial intelligence, the cars looks Awesome & all the production design looks fantastic & very interesting, everything looks stunning in this big pop Corn blockbuster!!!
I come back to this film over & over again it's that entertaining.
The FX are Amazing & cast is perfect all round but of course Smith is the one that really Shines & has created one of my favourite movie characters of all time!!! i so wish he would bring this character back in a sequel? So yeah just a BRILLIANT film with a BRILLIANT music score by "Marco Beltrami" that adds such mystery & excitement to each frame it's that good infact it's probably my fave film score or atleast one of my faves of all time!!!
I,Robot has alot of amazing action packed scenes & big fx shots but this big budget summer blockbuster still has a heart at it's center & a dark look at our future of relying on gadgets, machines, robotics & Artificial intelligence.
I know this is a big "action movie" starring the legendary huge star "Will Smith" but there's still so much more under it's surface & alot of depth & emotion.
Will Smith is actually perfect for this movie & role as it's a big comfort seeing his warm & familiar face in a world that's so icey-cold metal looking & so Artificially created it's creepy, so Smith as Del Spooner grounds it all for us viewers & comforts us with his usual wise cracks approach to dangerous situations, i always felt that this film is where Will Smith really became a proper big Action star, by that i mean his role is the type that the Action King "Schwarzenegger" would've played or "Stallone" it's a great part as "Spooner" is the heart & soul of this huge mega budget studio movie, the entire film is carried on Will Smith's shoulders & performance!!! Luckily Smith is perfectly cast & created his best movie character of all time in my opinion.
Smith is a big Action hero joy on screen & for me completely cemented him as one of Cinemas greatest stars.
Detective Del Spooner is my favourite movie character of all time, i love how he's also a Nostalgic guy & his apartment is full of old school stuff, for an action Thriller "Smith" has put alot into what could of been just a typical action hero role, this is why it's my favourite role/Character of the great Will Smith or next to his "Agent J" but his Del Spooner lives in a paranoid state, he's full of fear of the robots that are apart of society now, Spooner has experienced tragic events that have left him emotionally & physically scarred, Smith has some fun with the role of "Spooner" but also keeps that emotional state of fear upfront all the time & that makes "Spooner" such an interesting character, he's a Detective but hates what he's Detecting!!! He has No trust in robotics or the people that make them & he does things his way without question, Spooner is a complex character that likes to work alone & seems comfortable as abit of a loner unless he really needs some help, there's definitely layers to Spooner that Will must of loved exploring like his anger & paranoid fear!!!
i,Robot is a film that is made for repeated viewing & oh my have i watched this hundreds of times & i had the pleasure of seeing this in the cinema.
Will Smith is a childhood hero of mine, i grew up watching his Show "The Fresh Prince of bel Air" I've always listened to his music & his first solo album "Big Willie Style" is still my favourite album of all time, I've followed his career in music & movies & he's something of a positive role model for me.
If one guy has made a huge impact one me it's definitely Will Smith.
Will Smith means alot to me & his films, especially I,Robot, MIB 1&2 & Wild Wild West have gotten me through some very dark times.
There's 3 main Will Smith movies that I've watched countless times over the years & that mean alot to me as I've watched these "Comfort" films at different times in my life, through the good & the bad, these 2 special gems are of course "I,ROBOT" & "MIB" & it's
Sequel "MIB 2" all three i hold near & dear to my heart & are in my all time top fave movies!!!
