Stay away

Rating: 3/10 (2 April 2009)

While everyone seem to love this film, I can't find anything appealing to me. Some people said that this is one of the greatest movies of all time when clearly it's not. I don't know what most people look for in a movie these days but it's certain that they don't look for a good movie. They prefer robots and explosions above clever plots and great performances.
What we have here is a cliché filled film. From the very beginning until the very end. I don't know about you but I can't enjoy those things. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that I have watched really impressive movies and most movies nowadays are not up to them.
On the other hand I must say that the animation and special effects were incredible. I still can't believe the quality it reached. The interaction between robots and humans was great also, it was like they were actually talking. But the merits of this movie end there. It has one of the most mediocre plots added with really average performances.
When some people and I were talking, I asked them what was about this movie that they loved so much, and their answers always were: "The robots looked incredible". But does that make a film good? The answer is certainly no.
