Everyone loves Will Smith...and Converse sneakers
After watching I, Robot, I had a strange urge to go out and buy, buy, buy! Could it be all the shameless ads that were not so subtly placed in the movie's script?The movie, loosely based on Isaac Asimov's book of the same name, has as much to do with the book as well I have as much to do with anyone else named Nikki.Will Smith, having decided that after losing the Oscar to "the other black guy", he needs to return to the shallow blockbusters that made him famous (ie. Independence Day, Men in Black) stars in this forgettable mess of a 90 minute advertisement. Wouldn't it have just been easier to skip the extras, other actors, special effects and just have Will prance around in converse shoes, drive his Audi and hawk all the other merchandise that glutted this film?Oh Will, do you actually read scripts anymore or do they just throw you the big bag of money and the free kicks and you ride off in your Audi, rapping about how you don't curse. You've sold your soul, my friend. How does it feel?
