The book is in no way, shape, or form, 'action' fiction. It belies the whole point that they used that title even after smoking crack and took a left turn with the script. The book is a series of short stories with a female character that sort of ties them together.

I liked I Robot, too. But I've never read the book.

It should never have been called I, Robot. Maybe it is fine as an action movie. But an adaptation of Isaac Asimov fiction it is not.

I never started reading Asimov much, I started robots of dawn but I got to engaged in Sherlock Holmes V1 of 2, I never finished that though, it was like 1200 pages! I wasn't able to read much and got stuck on page 700 something

It is a good action movie. It is GREAT comedy/satire. (The same thing goes for Verhoeven's other great film, Starship Troopers.)

I liked Troopers too. *WAAAAAY* better than the book.^













^Im not be facetious. The book was AWFUL.
You're a bad man and your seed should be wiped from the earth.
I just can't decide which parts were more boring. The chapter where he reminisces about his math teacher, or the chapter where he's all "so i hung out with my dad."

It really is awful. So many better sci-fi "fight the aliens" books out there than Starship Troopers. The Forever War comes to mind. Way better.

Well, I robot is probably one of the first action movies I saw that I remember when I saw it in theaters. I don't really remember anything before 6 tears old though
