I know you'll think I'm a weirdo, but I'm a huge Asimov fan, I've read the book a thousand times, and still think the movie was damn good (knowing that it's not an adaptation, but only takes the names and the company)

What the fucking hell? All of those were great. There are some major movie haters on this site.
Saying Die Hard sucks is like saying Suikoden is a piece of shit. Neither are true statements.

That's what bothered me so much about it. I, Robot was a brilliant collection of stories that showed how robots transformed society so much that they were eventually kicked off Earth. It would have been nearly impossible to make into a traditional film, which is why I wish they wouldn't have bastardized the Asimov name and just called it something else. It's a disservice to Asimov to have his name attached to something that is so obviously NOT his creation.
And Smith really needs to read the fucking source material before he ever considers doing another film based on a novel. IMO, it's the polite thing to do. He's a huge star and definitely has the "HELL NO" power if a film strays from a story and turns into a shitfest in the process.

You see? Y'all don't have any common logic lol
So we should all agree that I Am Legent and I, Robot are masterpieces :D

But it had zombies! That alone makes it great. Zombies = :) |
Those things looked like they jumped out of a really bad cut scene. Not menacing or remotely frightening.

I would love to. I would then love both the book and the movie! Awesome idea!
Boy, way too many action movies that were popcorn flicks. Go with something that has more substance :-p

Well, I see it as a chance that someone might watch the movie, and say "hey, there's a book about this, I'm gonna read it", and then read one of the best science-fiction books ever written. I knew perfectly well when I watched the movie that I couldn't expect anything faithful to the book, and I came up with something that had a good plot and was something that, minus all the action and hero thing, could have roughly been written by Asimov if he had wanted to. In fact, the plot is not something unheard of him, I can't recall in what story he did it, but he has something like that
