Pros: Special message, lost somewhere in the faulty circuit board.
Cons: Weak in action, movement and script-left me bored as toast.
Knock, knock. Who's there? An Android. An Android who?
An Android who couldn't save a bland movie with all the replacement parts in China.
Bicentennial Man based on a short story by Isaac Asimov, is the tale of a unique...

Pros: Robin Williams in a funny and serious role
Cons: may be too spiritually overwhelming for some
To be recognized as a man was the robot Andrew Martin’s fervent wish all his life, but he, as played mesmerizingly by Robin Williams, only gets his wish after the death he also wanted. Death? For a robot, you say? Why would he even think of death, let...

Pros: A story that tells of the human, and not-so-human condition.
Cons: The story line drags a bit.
We are all very much aware of what technology has done to improve and complicate our lives. There is no doubt that computers have made a great deal of difference in the lifestyles of people in the last 20 years. One has to ask, what will be next great...

Pros: Robin Williams, Oliver Platt, they didn't completely hack the original story to death
Cons: Excessive silliness (showcasing William's improv), predictable, they hacked up the original somewhat
First of all - no matter how close a movie gets to the original story, there will never be anything exactly how "it should be". With that said, I believe that Bicentennial Man, starring Robin Williams in the title role, is a wonderful...

Pros: Direction, writing, filming, and superb acting by Williams, Neill, and Davidtz
Cons: I'm still too busy tallying up the pros
Seriously! The Director, Chris Columbus (Home Alone, John Candy, Anthony Quinn and Maureen O'Hara in Only The Lonely, and Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire) deserves 5 stars for his own work on this. Isaac Asimov, for his short...

Pros: Entertaining
Cons: Missed potential
If you are familiar with the story, of the blind men describing an elephant, by feeling its different parts, this would help you understand The Bicentennial Man.
There is a little here for everyone; Science fiction, comedy, romance,...

Pros: Proves to be much more than I expected.
Cons: It took me so long to experience it.
If you only relied on the TV ads as a recommendation to see Bicentennial Man you are either in for a wonderful surprise or a sorrowful disappointment. The ads lead you to believe you are going to see Robin Williams at his best, exploiting his wonderful...

Pros: Very thought provoking movie that is also funny
Cons: Slow in parts
Robots have appeared in many forms throughout the entertainment industry ranging from mechanical dogs (Dr Who), psychotic love robots (Outer Limits) to the more loveable almost human robots (Data in Star Trek). Man is fascinated with robots and there is...

Pros: The cast, the concept, the ending.
Cons: Very drawn out and scattered plot.
I am a devout Robin Williams Fan! Really I have seen every movie he has ever made. Even that one where they show him is 5 different lives. I forgot the name, it wasn't in theaters very long, but at least it had substance.
Bicentennial...

by artbyjude - Top 500, Jun 26 '00
Pros: Williams transformations, " Galatea's" performance, Sam Neill
Cons: Incomplete data on establishing humanity: too many decade jumps
Well, two out of three ain't bad. But, the title pretty much sums up the plot. This movie, starring Robin Williams and some of my other favorites has some very good points. It is funny, has some terrific scenes that vibrate artistically in the senses,...

by T.Rob , Sep 05 '00
Pros: Works on so many levels
Cons: One or two dangling plot points
Isaac Asimov may have written about spaceships and robots but he used these devices to explore what it means to be human. He starts with rather easy comparisons – a robot on one extreme and a human on the other. Then he brings the two successively...

Pros: Family fun, sweet, touching
Cons: Large time gaps
“Bicentennial Man” is based on the book by Isaac Asimov. I remember when 'Bicentennial Man' first came out, it got a bad wrap. I honestly thought this was an enjoyable family movie. No it does not have tons of action, violence, or nudity. But...

Pros: thought provoking, well acted
Cons: long, spans 200 years
Having agreed to wait and watch this film together, my friend and I finally saw it on the big screen recently. Although I can never seem to recall the right name (I lean towards Millennium rather than Bicentennial for some reason), I will never forget...

Pros: no
Cons: plenty of them
This movie covers a timespan of 200 years, and in the first 50 years, you think, hmm, this is halfway decent. The second fifty years, why am I here. The third, is it over yet? Finally, the last fifty years, i want my money back.
The little...

Pros: Laughs, Tears, and Joy
Cons: None
I had been wanting to see this movie for awhile, and when my Husband brought it home, I was right there ready to watch it.
First of all I have to say I really enjoy Robin Williams films, my all time favorite being Mrs. Doubtfire. And this...
