Pros: Fairly faithful to Asimov, fun, entertaining Cons: Love story aspect lacks depth
I was excited a few months ago when I read that “Bicentennial Man” was being made into a movie.
I’m not particularly an Isaac Asimov fan but I have enjoyed some of his stories including his robot tales and “Bicentennial Man” happened to be a...

Pros: Good acting, good effects and great story-line Cons: Not as funny as expected
So I went to this movie thinking that I may enjoy it, and I may not. All I knew about it was that is has Robin Willams in it and I like him. He is usually a laugh a minute. Now that I have seen it, I can say that it wasn't his sharp and witty humor...

Pros: Good beginning Cons: Very dumb goal
The movie Bicentennial Man was so long, and it was very unrealistic. Although most movies are unrealistic, this one by far was the dumbest. What is so interesting about a robot's life that people must make a 2 1/2 hour movie about him. I must admit, the...

Pros: Great Special Effects Cons: Talks about Death
Bicentennial Man -- Not a man but a robot at first. This movie is for anybody who likes Robin Williams. He was probably the best actor to play the part of Andrew ( the robot ). The movie was very uplifting into the year 2005. I don't see anything...

Pros: believable Cons: a bit long
I went to see this movie because my 6 year old son wanted to see it. I went to see it because I like Robin Williams ans has seen all of his movie. For a 6 year old it was a bit long and drawn out but he enjoyed it.
The movie was well acted and...

Pros: Follows novel and robin williams was believable Cons: at one emotional level throughout the whole movie
A friend invited me to see this movie when it premiered. The two things that struck me right off the bat is how much it followed the two stories that it was based from and Robin Williams was the only actor that could have pulled it off. Some critics...

Pros: great conversations for families Cons: Just another tear jerker
Robin Williams yet again has tried to span all age groups with his Millenium Man. Life Lessons for the family to discuss - the power of Freedom - freedom of choice, to love, to hate, to make the decision between right and wrong - or how the government...

Pros: Great casting! Cons: Drags just a bit. A touch cliche.
And so it goes that Robin Williams has himself another heartwarming, magical movie here. Williams and an excellent cast including Sam Neill and Embeth Davidtz take us on a sci-fi journey through a modern-day Pinocchio story of a robot's quest to become a...

Pros: robin williams makes you laugh and cry in the same movie Cons: predictable and a little slow at times
I am a big Robin Williams fan and I was not disappointed at all in this movie. If a movie can make me laugh and cry then I feel it is a success. I know there were some slow spots and yes, at times it was sappy and predictable, but good grief, don't we go...

Pros: Family oriented Cons: some corny jokes
In this new hit movie Robin Williams is a robot in service to a growing
family, slowly it becomes apparent to the rest of the world that he is
growing with the family . This is a definite must see either on the big screen or you can wait, which...

Pros: Family Friends with a few language exceptions Cons: Not worth $17.00, save it for a $3.00 video
Robin Williams is greatly gifted with the ability to convey emotion with his face, voice and body. Therefore the movie Bicentennial Man has an advantage from the start. David Sheehan in the Los Angeles televison market did such a positive review of the...

Pros: Great Acting and Funny Cons: Unrealistic
While totally unrealistic, this is a cute comedy for all ages. Robin Williams plays Bicentennial Man, the robot who dreams of becoming a real human. Which is difficult, because he is viewed as a kitchen appliance, but like always Williams works his...

Pros: Thought provoking, Great Cast Cons: Humor level does not match the promo
After all the promo hype, I went expecting a funny Robot Mrs. Doubtfire. What I got was a surprise beyond expectation. If funny is your goal don't go to this movie. If you are looking for thought provoking ideas with real life humor, this is the movie...

Pros: Great to see with the family. Cons: Two and a half hours long
This movie was another incredible performance by Robin Williams. This year there have been few holiday movies to come out that really have any family value. Holidays are a time for family togetherness and this movie rteally focuses on the family. I found...

Pros: great characters and script Cons: little long at over 2 hours
This is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. When violence and mayhem seem to be the order of the entertainment business, this is a nice change of venue. The expletives are at a minimum also so it is a good "flick" for families....
