underrated

Rating: 8/10 (20 August 2012)

can't say i love will smith as a lead role (he just seems to come across as comical in all of his movie roles) but the relationship he has with sonny the robot came across as quite moving surprisingly.
having read some of the comments on the message board slagging irobot off, i think its unfair for may to criticise the film when smith puts up a great performance, its a story that many film directors would have loved to have attempted themselves and (at the end of the day) is just a movie!
i sometimes wonder if robots will be roaming the earth as early as 2035 - it would be very handy indeed if they were but more likely to be 2050 at least, surely.
a great family film that is seriously underrated.
