Easy viewing eye fodder, and no shame in that

Rating: 6/10 (11 August 2004)

I Robot is an enjoyable film with a number of redeeming features, one of which is the performance of Will Smith. The fact that this film takes its inspiration from Asimov, and nothing more than its inspiration may have set up viewers for disappointment. This is not a highly complex tale but a straightforward adventure with whizz bang effects, a chase or two and good and bad guys and a few of questionable provenance thrown in.
Good fun, no more, but no shame in that. Enjoyable, but hard to imagine many others in the lead role making as decent a job as Smith
