i’m not very happy with will smith’s summer blockbuster this year. comparatively, his movies have been getting worse (bad boys 1&2, mib I&II, independence day, enemy of the state, wild wild west, ali) and it almost seems like he’s in these movies just to get a hip (ie not morgan freeman), serious, black lead character to draw a large summer audience. this year’s iteration is i, robot. it’s based on a book, infact a classic science fiction novel by issac asimov. between him and arthur c clarke (author of 2001), they are arguably the best science fiction writers of all time. so it’s very disappointing for me (even tho i haven’t read the book) to see hollywood turn i, robot into a ticket-selling action packed minority report wannabe (in terms of revenue). i guess i’ll have an extra $15 this summer to buy the book.
