Do you ever actually enjoy a film if you feel the need to sit through the whole 90 mins+ looking for errors?

As for Will Smith being Will Smith - that's what he does for the most part. Seeing a Will Smith film if you don't like what he does would be daft.

What the fuck though. It all comes down to differing tastes etc and with obvious exceptions most films will have fans somewhere as it appeals to them - even if it's just 10yr old kids. The superior than though attitude because you don't like a film that appeals to some others on whatever level just makes the person doing so look like an asshole.

Sure that holds true if you make a movie with Wil Smith called "Wil Smith kicks some robot ass, yo".

The dissapointment comes in when you bill it as based on "I, Robot" a collection of excellent short stories by Asimov. I expected more because the stories I expected it to be based on are very good. Unfortunetly, there's very little from Asimov's original works. A few characters and the rules of robotics.
