by Alena  - Top 1000, Dec 30 '99
Pros: Robin Williams, great story line
Cons: Little lengthy, moves a little slowly
Bicentennial man is a sweet movie about learning what it is to be a human being. It is about a robot, Andrew(played by Robin Williams) who has some kind of glitch that makes display emotions and learning ability. His first owner (Sam Neill) encourages...

by beckytcy - Top 500, Dec 26 '99
Pros: cute, nice cinematography of S.F.
Cons: too long, cheesy, predictable
Leaving the theater, my 14-year-old brother commented, "I could have written that screenplay!" I laughed, but I have to agree with him. This movie was so sentimental, cheesy, and predictable that I had to laugh at times. I am not usually a...

Pros: Williams' humor ALMOST comes out
Cons: The movie he is in
I sat through all 8 hours of this movie last week with my brother, his lovely girlfriend, and both sets of our respective parents; and by their reactions that came from the movies ending, I think you will understand what I thought about this movie....

Pros: Great Plot
Cons: Too futuristic at some parts
Robin Williams tried everything short of a miracle, in this great flick, to win the love of two women. Williams delivered an outstanding performance as "Andrew", an NDR droid who is as unique as a snowflake. Andrew makes an attempt to find...

Pros: robin williams
Cons: too long, not incredibly funny
Robin Williams returns to his comedic roles with a turn as Andrew the android in Bicentennial Man. Unfortunately, unlike Mrs. Doubtfire, this film misses the mark.
Williams plays the droid who is brought home to his new home by man (Sam Niel)...

Pros: Robin Williams, realistic robot, humor
Cons: Not futuristic, slow at times
I will start off by saying that I am a Robin Williams fan. I found this movie to be one of his better. You actually don't "see" Robin for the first half of the movie... he is in his "ROBOT" cover! I found that the makeup artists...

by sneiman , Dec 20 '99
Pros: cute, good for the younger crowd
Cons: lacked ooomph
Although this movie was a cute, romantic comedy, it wasn't Patch Adams or The Fisher King. There was plenty of humor, but it didn't flow as well as other movies that Robin Williams has performed in. It lacked ooommph. It was actually depressing that...

Pros: A sweet and touching movie; good family film
Cons: None leap to mind
The theme of the machine who wishes to become a man, no matter what the cost, is an old one, and often told: L. Frank Baum's Tin Woodsman, the replicants of Bladerunner, the Terminator, and the eponymous Iron Giant are all incarnations of...

by charl11 , Dec 26 '99
Pros: Entertaining and fun, good concept
Cons: Too long, obvious
Bicentennial Man is an okay movie. Clocking in at over two hours, it is too long. The movie could've been cut down to one and a half. Robin Williams is good. The movie starts out with a good concept; a robot is purchused and has human - like...

by jazzd , Dec 20 '99
Pros: Good values, humor, Robin Williams
Cons: Slow and laid back
Anything with Robin Williams in it is worth seeing - period. Williams is able to take this movie from mediocre to good by just being in it.
Even though I was expecting a bit more out of this film, and ended up a somewhat disapointed in not...

Pros: Robin Williams
Cons: Not to Funny
I usually enjoy anything that Robin Williams is in but this movie just didn't do anything for me. I say I love this movie because it isn't entirely two thumbs down, but it's not two thumbs up either, I am kind of stagnant on this one.

Pros: heartwarming, funny, well presented
Cons: absolutely NONE
Based on the book written by Isaac Asimov, Bicentennial Man told a story about an "appliance" who through the guidance of a caring family, grew to know and understand the meaning of family, friendship, loss and even love. As the story opens the...

Pros: Robin Williams
Cons: To Long and very confusing
The movie was horrible. As I was watching the movie I must have looked at my watch twelve or thirteen times, it was very, very long, about two and a half hours. In addition that, it was really hard to pick up the main point of the movie, just because...

by graemeb , Dec 19 '99
Pros: Some comedy, Robin Williams, Sam Neill, Oliver Platt
Cons: Slow, complex themes, length
Bicentennial Man starts with some potential. But then it becomes slow and drones on into the over 2 hour dead zone.
Robin Williams spends the first half of the movie in a metallic robot suit. When he finally finds skin and humor I'd have thought...

Pros: good family movie
Cons: No signs of greatness
I watched the movie and enjoyed it. I did not love it, but I did, however feel that I got my moneys worth. It has not changed my life in any fundamental sort of way, nor will I remember it, and tell my grandchildren about it. I have seen some...
