My I robot review

 My I robot review 

 

Intro: I'm surprised that this movie isn't a sequel to Blade Runner because it could work as one. 

I Robot: This movie takes place in the year 2035 where Humans and Robots co-exist thanks to the three laws robots follow. One day the founder of these robots is murdered and Detective Spooner suspense one of the robots killed him. During the investigation, Detective Spooner learns that there's more to this murder, so he has to figure out what it is before things get out of hand. 

This is one of the worse adaptations I've ever seen so far. I say that because this movie has nothing to do with the book it's based on, so what's the point of calling this movie I robot? What bugs me about this is that there is a screenplay for I robot so why didn't the people who worked on this movie use that? Even if this movie was called something else it won't change how I feel about it because it wasted its premise by making it a standard action movie. The reason I say that this movie could have been a sequel to Blade Runner is that the novel did the same thing that this movie did but differently. The mystery could have been good if it wasn't for the head-scratching moments. That's another thing the movie suffers from plot holes. The movie does nothing new with the dynamic between humans and robots. I would like to know how this world works I mean the robots do public services jobs. So what happens to the people who can do those jobs but not good enough to do anything else? The product placement in this movie annoys me because it's in your face.  

Detective Spooner is a pleasant person to be around for the most part. he also biased towards robots because of an ordeal he when through. That's what bothers me about this character I find it hard to believe that he can be the only one who feel this way about the robots. Also, I wish someone would challenge his viewpoint on them to see if he's a hypocrite. 

Susan Calvin is an employee at USR the place that builds the robots and she sucks at her job. I say that because her job is to make them look human. She's also bland and the reasons why she does things make no sense. 

Sonny (The robot in question.) is also lame he does what the plot needs him to do. That's a shame because the movie could have done more with him. 

I like that the movie introduces ideas if only things were done with them. The film has its moments of humor. Overall, this movie is not underrated to me. It's fine as an action film but not as an adaptation.
