Pros: Funny moments, Robin Williams Cons: Political agenda
While I enjoyed the plenitude of comedy in this movie, I was disappointed by the preachiness. Topics such as Euthanasia and life after death for a soulless robot were either snuck in or avoided completely. There were many parts that children under the...

Pros: A movie with a message AND compassion Cons: Expect a flood from your eyeballs
This was a great movie now that I'm looking back on it. I took my 3 kids to see it on Christmas Eve (to get their minds off of the presents looming under the tree). My two sons are 9 and 10 and my daughter is 15. You knew the serious, mushy parts were...

Pros: Excellent Plot, Moral Values Cons: Slow Start
Bicentennial Man was a movie recommended to me by my college roommate as a
"must see." She was right to recommend it to me. I saw it this past Winter break with two of my high school friends. My roommate insisted that Bicentennial Man...

Pros: Swift humor, teaches you a bit about "inner" feelings Cons: A bit long, but heck he lives 200 years....cant put that into 60 minutes
I'm not the type who normally gets choked up at a movie, but Bicentennial Man definitelly did it to me.
The story goes as Andrew (the robot played by Robin Williams) is essentially a butler in a rich, futuristic (sometime in the future) house....

Pros: Enthralling, funny and sad. Cons: none
This is a charming, enthralling movie. It is sad at times and very funny at others. My husband even said it was a good movie, and he usually just likes action movies. I really enjoyed it and watched it several times. Robin Williams is a brilliant...

Pros: Unique story line Cons: At times, a very tiresome and depressing movie
As a big fan of Robin Williams the actor, I've grown increasingly disappointed with some of his films during the past few years. Add Bicentennial Man to a growing list of recent snoozers which now includes What Dreams May Come, Jakob the Liar, Flubber,...

Pros: semi-interesting story, talented cast Cons: length of some scenes, violence against women
Bicentenial Man is a long film. Not only in running time, but also in the way the story progresses at a creeping pace. That’s not to say that it’s not a good film. Just kinda slow. 200 years of life is a lot to show. The story follows an android...

Pros: the robot's learning about humans, puns Cons: not enough told about the 3 Laws of Robotics
I have been a long-time fan of Isaac Asimov.
When Robin Williams projected the three laws of robotics from the top of his head in the Bicentennial Man, I got goose-bumps all the way up and down, and settled back for a grand view.

Pros: robin williams, liam neeson. special effects Cons: too long, the pepsi girl
The film takes place in San Francisco in the year 2005. In the movie, the android, played by Robin Williams, is on a quest to fulfill his dreams on becoming a human.
I felt that the movie was very touching. It was sad because Andrew Martin,...

Pros: multi age appropriate-- very calm and sweet Cons: a bit relaxed and slow
I thought this was a very nice movie. It is appropriate for the whole family although not outrageously funny it was very kind and sweet, calm and laid back movie. It is very hard to find a movie that the whole family can enjoy together now -- but this is...

Pros: It had Robin Williams in it. Cons: The over all movie was rather dull.
We went to see Bicentennial Man because it had Robin Williams in it. We usually like the movies that he is in. Bicentennial Man was a waste of money. The first half of the movie was fairly okay, but the second half was boring. This was definitely not a...

Pros: decent plot and idea Cons: too long, too long, and did i mention too long
Bicentennial Man was really an appropriate title, but not because the movie spans 200 years, but because it seems like you are in the theater for 200 years! This movie was just a LITTLE too long. The first 40 minutes were needed to set up the story,...

Pros: Excellent acting Cons: Changes in years
Robin Williams does a great job portraying Andrew Martin, a robot purchased as a gift for the Martin family. But what do you do with Andrew when he starts showing signs of human emotions. Bicentennial Man is a great movie that shows this exact...

Pros: Funny! Entertaining! Cons: NOT ONE!
My husband and I went to see this movie because it was a suggestion by my father in law...who also has the book.
We both really thought it was a wonderful film and Robin Williams as always was excellent! It's not a "chick flick"...
