i'll admit that there were parts of this movie that i liked, namely the special effects and some of the glimmers of theme that made it over from the asimov universe. what i cannot, absolutely cannot deal with is.........

BLATANT PRODUCT PLACEMENT

after i got hit over the head with the blatant converse shoe advertisement i wanted to walk out. the audi thing i can handle, since they DID make a car for the movie and it was cool, so i think they deserve a plug. but it was too much. and in my opinion, will smith destroys any credibility that the movie might otherwise have had. i don't hate the guy or anything, and i'm trying not to be a sci fi snob, but his role was nothing more than a futuristic bad boyz. it was awful. the voice and face acting for the sonny the robot was impressive and overall i'd say that i enjoyed myself, but really they spent a lot of money to make a mediocre movie when it could have easily been a lot better.
