I, Robot Movie Review: Worth the Price!

In summary, "I, Robot" is a movie that is better than expected with nice action scenes and well-done robots. The main actor, Will Smith, is charismatic but not given much opportunity to showcase his acting skills. The portrayal of Susan Calvin is different from the books, and the books are not easily accessible. Will Smith is also known for his intelligence and past success in the sitcom "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air".

I saw I, Robot last night. I haven't yet read the book, so I can't say whether it has much to do with the book or not. But it was definitely better than I expected. Nice action scenes, an okay story, and the robots were done very well. I'd say it was worth my AU$9.

How was Will Smith?

The movie looks cool, but since I'm not a regular movie goer I'll probably wait until the DVD comes out.

Will Smith was ok. I think he's quite charismatic. But this particular role didn't call for a huge amount of acting, just lots of action.

Susan Calvin was way messed up in this movie. In the books, she's the tough as nails robopsycholigist that would likely go off with a gun and shoot all the stupid people. In the movie, she was just some chick...

I plan to read it soon, when I can find it. Our books are not ordered very well.

Will is quite a character. On the Tonight Show he came out dancing to the music.

He's intelligent too. MIT sent him an application form, but he rejected it to pursue a career in Hip Hop.

I use to be a big an of "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" (A popular sitcom).
