OK but too many of Asimov's stories blended together.

Rating: 5/10 (14 October 2005)

First let me say I was impressed by the CGI effects. I enjoyed the movie's plot somewhat but was disappointed in certain areas. The first area is the casting of Dr. Susan Calvin. Bridget Moynahan is a very talented actress i don't think she was right for this part. My reasons are that I have been an Isaac Asimove book fan for over 30 years. I have read all his robot short stories and novels(and all his foundation books as well). In the robot stories Susan Calvis is described as a very plain unattractive woman. Kind of like the lady next door neighbor who has never married. Ms. Moynahan is just too pretty to play this role. Will Smith is a composite of some of Asimov's other characters. The practical scientists from his robot stories. And the one real detective he created in the stories Elijah Bailey. Any real fan of Asimov I believe will be disappointed in this movie. But for the novice Asimov fan it is a good movie to learn of his three laws of robotics. And I hope a new generation of fans will discover his books. I believe they will enjoy them.
