Pros: It's rollercoaster of emotions that will touch your heart forever. Cons: Can't really think of any. It's a all around good movie.
This film from start to finish is a Rollercoaster of Emotions.
You are at first intrigued by this robot who wants to become a man and laugh at his attempts at humor. It soon turns out that he is more than a machine but also still a machine but he...

Pros: a great flick Cons: none
Robin Williams is an exceptional actor of our time. Good Will Hunting, Patch Adams, Dead Poet's Society, Good Morning Vietnam, etc... If he's playing in a movie, I make it a point to see it. Bicentennial Man was definately not a dissapointment. No...

Pros: Williams portrayal is heart warming Cons: Corny at times on the quest
Robin Williams is like fine wine as he ages. I know, hate the cliché but this is another must see rental. Robin’s character “Andrew” is a great carekeeper for his young charge. When Andrew gets “feelings”, he desires for more than what is potentially...

Pros: nice story line Cons: Not to enough explaining
Well first of all i enjoyed this movie alot. It being a progressive movie in which the main actor Robin Williams takes steps in playing a robot, household appliance, machine, and in the end a human.
This movie really was for the mature family...

Pros: Robin Williams, warm, funny Cons: none
Two words.. Robin Williams..that's all I had to hear to jump in my car and be nearly the first in line to see this wonderfully done flick by Chris Columbus. I think most of Chris Columbus' works are well done and very entertaining, but you add in Robin...

Pros: Its got Robin Williams what more needs to be said. Cons: Plot slow moving at times
Robin Williams, Robin Williams, Robin Williams....What can I say, he possesses the ability to make any movie a worthwhile endeavor.
Besides the always-great acting of Robin Williams I found the Bicentennial Man to be an overall average...

Pros: Robotic Robin Williams Cons: Future epic/family story... odd mix
Anyone who enjoys science fiction has probably heard of Isacc Asimov's story, The Positronic Man. Director Chris Columbus has tried hard to keep to the ideas and feelings put forth by the classic story, but fails to keep it interesting on anything more...

Pros: Funny, Robin Williams, Dancing Robots Cons: Mis-Advertised
I enjoy Robin Williams, a very funny actor but he tends to get in a rut. If you watch any of the talk shows he does he says the same stuff for each ;-) I suppose it saves time but hey I wish he would of warned me about Bicentennial Man.
The...

Pros: not vulgar, thought provoking Cons: long, parts are a little about the children's heads
The movie Bicentennial Man was a second choice for me. I was planning on seeing The Green Mile but it was packed. I hadn't even really heard about this movie. It is rated PG which kind of turned me off. I was thinking, "What interesting and...

Pros: Performances by Neil,Platt & Thigpen Cons: A much to much restrained Williams and too much pathos at the end.
"Bicentennial Man" is made by the same team that brought you "Mrs. Doubtfire", director Chris Columbus (of the first "Home Alone" films) and Robin Williams.However it is a different from their first film as day is to...

Pros: good acting, attractive costumes Cons: not as funny as expected
I went into this movie because I was in the mood for a movie. I had no strong inclination to see it over anything else, it was just the best thing out that I hadn't seen yet. My expectation was that this would be a standard, entertainingly funny film...

Pros: Robin Williams, Nice story Cons: moves a bit slowly, not enough emotion
Rating: 7 out of 10
"The Bicentennial Man" is based upon Isaac Asimov's short story of the
same name and upon the book "The Positronic Man", co-written by Isaac
Asimov and Robert Silverburg. The story...

by tacarvajal , Dec 22 '99
Pros: Interesting premise and high production value Cons: Not that funny and a bit too "schmaltzy"
I eagerly went to see "Bicentennial Man" because of two reasons: certain members of the cast (Robin Williams, Sam Neil, Oliver Platt, and Stephen Root) and also because I thought that the Director, Chris Columbus, did a decent job of directing...

Pros: Good hearted movie without the violence and sex. Cons: Nothing, unless you don't want to laugh!
I went to see this movie with little hope of being something that I would really enjoy. I figured it would be more of a sci-fi style. I really enjoyed it because Robin Williams brought out a character that I don't think any other actor could ever...

Pros: Artistry Cons: adaptation
Bicentennial Man, huh? Well, that's pretty appropriate, since this movie feels like it's about 200 years long. Oh, and sappy -- don't even get me started on sappy.
It's kind of a shame, too, since it was based on Isaac Asimov's short story of...
