i, robot

the grade: B

this is a movie based on the summary of a dust sleeve of the book.  if that.  but as its own movie it is entertaining, and it takes some nice steps in dealing with the three laws of robotics.  this movie should have had another name, as it is judged (fairly) by the book.  just don't name a movie after a book if it isn't going to be anything like it, or take the family guy avenue (peter griffin presents the king and i).  as a stand-alone flick it left me with good vibes and no regrets.  a solid summer choice that you should give a chance if you like will smith movies (though this one is the slightest bit smarter than most of his big-budget work).
