December 23, 2011This movie sucks the life out of you, turning you into a robot. Seriously I am tired of all these robot movies where we're supposed to feel bad for them, try to make them more human, etc. And Williams is more than annoying trying to play one of these annoying robots. I didn't ... read more

June 20, 2011hands down, Robin Williams best film. the character Andrew is likable and you feel all the things he goes through, the pain joy and all other emotions. The film has a very touching story how he loves all the people he serves and how he feels pain for losing them and how he can't ... read more

October 17, 2010You know when they keep inventing internal parts of a human body, that was pretty cheesy to me. This was 1999s movie, more than 10years have passed but still the scientist couldn't create a human. That's the truth of our life that we can't give life to anything. A robot ha... read more

November 25, 2009Average and dull robot film I ever seen in my life to know about a robot makes himself human discovers the following human traits. At the end of all his journeys and discoveries of human condition, the one thing that makes him human is that he can die. Ugh!

September 15, 2009Over-hyped, badly directed and totally miscast. That aside, it's still a fairly entertaining film. Given to a better director and it could have been amazing!

August 3, 2008What a very touching story from Chris Columbus... He's the master for creating a great family movie... Robin Williams shows pretty good acting here, even from his sound I know that he's hard trying to be a robot... And the ending, it really really makes me cry... That one is one ... read more

March 2, 2008This is a sweet movie in the same vein as 'A.I' and 'Short Circuit', a family robot is unique as he starts to feel and think like a human. Throughout the movie he tries to become more human, win his freedom and get recognition as a human. Great cast.

It's one thing to ask an audience to love a mechanical man, but quite another to love a mechanical performance. Full Review

Lacks urgency.

By relegating the story to a disappointing level of superficiality and never attempting to venture more than skin-deep into some intriguing themes, Bicentennial Man comes across like recycled, diluted... Full Review
