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.SamuraiMegas wrote:I like I ROBOT.......

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.BurningDoom wrote:I liked I Robot, too.

Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
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

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."MrPopo wrote:You're a bad man and your seed should be wiped from the earth.indecks wrote:prfsnl_gmr wrote:
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.
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
