I had heard great things about I, Robot so my expectations were unusually high. So, yes, I was disappointed in the movie. Don’t get me wrong, it was a good movie, but not DVD buying material. The story was just a little bit too out there for my tastes.
Will Smith did a great job in his role as the cop with a hate for robots. I won’t be spoiling any suprises by saying that he turns out to be the hero. What? Did you think he would end up dead? Other than Smith, there isn’t a whole lot of action by many others in the film. Well, besides the robots that is.
For a movie set in the future, I would have thought there would be more/better special effects. There weren’t. There was some good stuff with the robots, but nothing that blew me out of my chair.
With all of the hype the movie received, I really was expecting a lot more. I give it a B+.
I saw the first 40 minutes of this film, but unlike you, I didn’t go in with very high expectations at all, so I was rather pleasently surprised. Still, it probably would have been better if I could have seen the rest.
