I can't understand all the negative reviews on here

Rating: 9/10 (6 August 2004)

As far as summer blockbusters go, I,Robot delivers in spades. Charismatic hero? Check. Seamless CGI? Check. Superb action? Check. Plot? Check. Granted, Will Smith's career needed a hit but this is it. He is not in Bad Boys/ID4 wisecracking mode and his tone does not take away from the brain that this blockbuster is desperately trying to express.
The film is based on Sci-fi writer Isaac Asimov's story set in Chicago in the year 2035 when robots have been fully integrated into society, occupying the positions of trusted servant and menial worker. There are 3 laws of robotics that are 'perfect' in that robots may not allow a human to come to harm. However, when a top scientist from the US Robotics corporation turns up dead, Smith's character suspects the involvement of a prototype that may not be bound by the 3laws
If you want to be thoroughly entertained whilst still enthralled for 2 hours go see the 2nd best film of the summer after Spideman2.
