Pros: heartwarming, funny, worth the movie ticket Cons: mild language, little unrealistic
Robin Williams yet again takes a worn out concept and turns it into his own blockbuster in Bicentennial Man, the journey of a robotic man on his path to humanity. Sure, there are a few holes in the theory, but come now, when has Williams ever been...

Pros: Interesting to an Adult Cons: Not for Children
Daughter wanted to see this movie after watching a Disney program about the making of it. It starts out light hearted and interesting to a child, but takes an opposite turn. I was floored at the technical sex talk, completely unappropriate for a child....

Pros: Excellent Cons: None
I took my niece and granddaughter to see this on Monday. I always let them pick the movie and this time was better than most. Robin Williams does an excellent job. There is something for everyone in this film. I cried, laughed and was on the edge of my...

Pros: Robin Williams! Cons: Emotional Rollercoaster
My husband took me to see this one night after a hard day a home. We got a sitter and off to the movies it was. Well at first I was like hmmm.... should we? But let me tell you after the first 5 minutes I was absolutely convinced we had made the right...

Pros: Good original ideas Cons: Williams is too sappy. Movie goes too far.
I went to see this movie in spite of the critics panning of it.
The critics were mostly right. The beginning of the movie is
interesting enough, but when Robin Williams keeps pushing
to be human, it gets close to a "turn-off."...

Pros: Sci_FI, no violence Cons: language
I went to see Bicentennial Man with my wife and daughter on Saturday 12/18/99. All three of us liked the movie. My daughter said that of all the movies she has seen she is making this the number one favorite movie in her life of sixteen years.
I...

Pros: Good message Cons: Choppy, Sappy, Choppy
Bicentennial Man is the story of a robot's two hundred year quest to become a human being. Compressing 200 years into a two hour movie means you get lots of this "Several Years Later...", "Twelve Years Later..." a technique that...

Pros: Funny, Good Date/Family Movie, Good Story Cons: Few sad parts for some, but not painted as sad
I originally decided to see this movie because it looked intriguing and I am a big Robin Williams fan. I have seen every movie Robin Williams has been in and would have to say that this movie is one of his best. His performance was realistic and actually...

Pros: Novel special effects Cons: Too long, rambling plot, and boring.
Bicentennial Man: Andrew (Robin Williams) is an android designed to serve. Intended to be just another household appliance, it soon becomes apparent that not only is he capable of creativity, he also begins to exhibit feelings. Rather than have his...

Pros: funny, serious,and touching Cons: film runs longer than the average movie
With holiday movies running amuck, you cannot go wrong with Robin Williams. Bicentennial Man is a combination of Romeo and Juliet, and The Wizard of Oz. Very touching and sweet,( almost too sweet), as Andrew, played by Williams, becomes a family's...

Pros: Great acting Cons: Language, Sexual content, Long, Dragging
I have always loved Robin Williams and have respected him as an actor. After watching the Bicentennial Man today, I think i will be a bit more selective when picking one of his movie. I was amazed at some of the language that was used in this PG rated...

Pros: A very nice story Cons: If you just want a straight comedy, this isn't for you.
I found this to be an absolutely amazing movie. The story was originally written by Isaac Asimov, and really leaves you thinking about the meaning of life, at least from Isaac Asimov's point of view.
The movie starts out as a nice comedy,...

Pros: Explores what it means to be human Cons: 'Old-fashioned' science-fiction perspective
I really went to see this film because I used to read as much of Asimov as I could get my hands on. And Bicentennial Man was one of my favourite stories. The short story moved me then. And the movie certainly tugged at my emotional strings.

Pros: Robin Williams gives a good performance Cons: Triies too hard
This movie was portrayed as a touching movie, I was disappointed to say the least. This was a good movie, it was interesting and Robin Williams gave a wonderful performance. It moved very slowly and came close to loosing my interst several times, I only...

Pros: Robin Williams has some funny parts Cons: Humor doesn't fit well in a movie trying to make a profound statement
The premise of this movie is pretty cheezy, a robot who wants to become human so he can experience pain and emotions and true love. This is redeemed by the fact there are actually some humorous parts to the film. Towards the end, the plot gets in the...
