Yeah, the movie is "suggested" by Asimov's book, as stated in the credits. My review, posted on my Xanga:

I, Robot - movie, 4 stars
Ok, straight off, this was an awesome movie. I loved the graphics, and I especially loved the cinematography. The camera angles they used for some of the final scene shots were just amazing.

"I'm sorry, I'm allergic to bullsh*t."

Will Smith delivers a witty performance throughout, several of his one liners are destined to be classics. However, I did have a bit of a problem with his character, living in the "past" with Converses and having an unexplained association with a kid (the guy from Even Stevens) who seems nothing more than an excuse to shoot more robots. He apparently has "problems with heights" but later has no problem jumping 30 stories down a shaft with virtually nothing to hold on to.

"That IS the right question. Program terminated."

The movie did an excellent job of laying out clues as the viewer watches and allows the viewer to leave while still analyzing what happened in the bigger picture. "Sunny" aka the Robot has a very inexplicable change of heart from the beginning to the end. Incidentally, the voice actor for "Sunny" was excellent, one of the better voice overs that I have heard in a while.

"How long is it going to take?" "6 Minutes." "Somehow I don't think we have six minutes any more."

Particularly troubling in the film was a slowing near the end, an almost "why didn't they see that coming" situation. In addition, Hollywood decided to bastardize the film by providing nude scenes (though none too scandalous) as well as noted scenes where the filmmakers obviously were exploiting Will Smith's appeal to women, as if we didn't see that coming. I rather apprecieated the fact that no true "Hollywood romance" was developed between the characters, whether or not it was intelligence on the writers part or sheer incapability to actually come up with such a thing is rather irrelevant, only the fact that they didn't do it.

The film loses 1 point for the use of nude scenes and too many useless "bash-them-up" scenes.

"Somehow, 'I Told You So' just doesn't quite say it right now."
