Return

went to see A.I. yesterday. what can i say that hasn't been said here?

um, here's something: it sucked.

hard.

the kid was good that's it. i mildly liked 'Teddy', but that is only worth mentioning because the rest of this movie is complete derivative, predictable drek.

let's start with the 'plot'. the first half of the movie creeped me and Ripley out big time. i thought the idea of the company using an employee who suffered a loss as shown in the movie to be sick. sick and cruel.

so, these two idiots take this robot boy into their home and proceed to ... i dunno be boring. this was excruciating to watch. did i mention creepy? because it was creepy.

anyway, let's move on. after roughly half the movie passes (slooooowly i might add), the film goes from Millennium Man Part II to Tron meets Running Man with just a smidge of watered down Blade Runner thrown in just to piss me off.

stupid. that's all i can say. the costumes, plot holes, acting in these horrible 'action' sequences were irritating to say the absolution least.

i won't even go into how absolutely retarded Jude Law's "Mr Robo: Male Gigolo" gig is.

avoid. this movie is so lame, i did something i haven't done since i don't know when we got up and left when Law did his 'dancin'-in-the-rain' bullshit in the woods.

rent if you absolutely must see it.

i give it one and a half quacks. one for Osment & a half for 'Teddy'.
