Pros: Touching and humorous, thought-provoking Cons: Meanders, the length is slightly too long
Robin Williams is wonderfully versatile and diverse when choosing movie roles. He performs in wild, over-the-top comedies and then switches back to surprise audience members in thoughtful, meaningful movies.
I was surprised by Bicentennial Man. I...

Pros: Humor, Good Lines, Nice Story Cons: Could you help me find it?
Robbin Williams got another best shot on this movie. When I saw the trailer, I wondered that 'Is this movie will be a Mrs.Doubtfire II?'. After I went watching it, I can guaranteed that the movie was great, and suitable for all member in a family. ...

Pros: good movie Cons: sometimes slow
I had no desire to see the movie at all. My friend brought it home and I watched it twice. Having watched it twice I realized that it was an ok movie.
The plot was good, it wasn't something that I would be that interested in, but it wasn't...

Pros: Cool Robot, intriguing premise Cons: Holiday cheese
Year-end holiday Robin Williams schmaltz-fests are becoming as common as Fourth of July Will Smith blockbusters. And if the outrageous success of Patch Adams is any indication, it looks like Mr. Williams has another hit on his hands. His previous...

Pros: Gets you out of the house Cons: Makes you wish you were back home
Ok, I didn't like this movie. It just kept going over and over the same thing. It was one of the few times while sitting in a theater that I wished I was back at home reading a book. Our children had been wanting to see this movie, thinking it was this...

Pros: moving, touching, funny - fit for whole family Cons: may be a little long for young children.
I rented Bicentennial Man, expecting a lighthearted Disney movie. I knew I was in for a lot of laughs, just can't imagine anything with Robin Williams in it not moving me to laughter, but I never knew I would be in for so many tears...
Bicentennial...

Pros: Interesting characters, good cinematography Cons: Long, Slow
A girlfriend and I chose to view “Bicentennial Man” over “The Straight Story”. The theory behind the decision was based on the thought that we wanted to see a humorous movie instead of a drama. The trailers for Bicentennial Man showed a humorous and...

Pros: Robin Williams is in this movie. Cons: Anyone who expects more than shovel loads of sentimentality will be disappointed.
For the first 20 years of his on-screen career, Robin Williams had a reputation as a wacky funny man when, in fact, he’s been making syrupy movies in which the humour is usually out-weighed several times over by overwhelming sentimentality. As he’s made...

Pros: Robin Williams, as usual. Cons: Misleading trailers.
I went to see this twice. The first time I went, I was feeling slightly depressed and the second time, I was feeling quite good. I had feelings about this movie before I even set foot in the theater. From the trailers, the movie appears to be a...

Pros: good science fiction yarn, well made, good acting, a cute, heartwarming story Cons: it is science fiction, not as much comedy as you'd expect
OK, so we were forced to see this movie by my two young children, Alex 7 and Samantha 9. But hey,I wasn't in the mood for Stuart Little so I figured how bad could it be? Well, I wasn't disappointed by the movie but I was the exception of our group. ...

Pros: Half way decent translation of story. Good cast Cons: ONLY a halfway decent translation of the story
Since its release in theaters this movie has received almost nothing but criticisms by the majority of people that watch it. People always seem to say that it's Robin Williams trying to be taken seriously. I would hope that Robin Williams is beyond...

Pros: Special Effects, Casting Cons: Too Long, Shallow Plot, lacks humor and luster
Bicentenial Man is a three hour family film staring Robin Williams as a modern verson of the Tin man. Strapped with silver metal from toes to eyelids Robin portrays the main character with finesse adding some of his humor to the film that since Mrs....

Pros: More mature than one might think Cons: More mature than one might think
I recently took my younger cousin to see Bicentennial Man. I have to admit I wasn't looking forward to it. This movie was not on my must see list, one I could have definitely lived with out seeing.
However, I was pleasantly surprised by how...

Pros: wonderful way to exhibit Robin Williams' talents Cons: maybe not as exciting as some people think it should be
Wow! I feel like I've been to the future and back! Bicentennial Man starts in 2005 and ends 4 generations later. And, a "man" who could live forever decides he wants to pass on. Seems a bit backward, but he trades his wires and nodes for...
