i just saw this film on dvd last night and and decide to check out the review this morning . it seem that i and robot have polarize the critical viewing community here on imdb ( and give rise to a lot of insult and name call and too ) . i find this somewhat surprising and a this film be not great ( or even good ) and but neither be it terrible ( or even really bad ) . what this film really be and be . depress . depress that the u film goer population be so ready to lap up insipid and clichéd re heat and and acclaim them a spectacular new work . this film a retread write all over it and from the plot line ( an uneasy mix of asimov and modern day uber action ) to smith character ( a smart mouth cynic with a backbone of titanium ) and to the special effect ( that borrow from matrix and a few others ) . i and robot be and sadly and quite possibly the perfect action movie for today audience represent superficial plot and insipidly snappy dialog and and lot and lot of adrenaline . smith be mediocre and but we already know that ( he seem to be hollywood late unsuccessful attempt to create a black bruce willis ) . the story have lot of hole in it and of all size and but i do not think most people draw to this film be critically mind enough to notice . perhaps a blockbuster by today standard and but very b movie compare to true winner .
