November 9, 2008Conceived by Kubrick and handed over to Spielberg...a futuristic retelling of Pinocchio with some really memorable high points

August 29, 2008Very moving film about a robot boy who wants to be real boy. It's like a futuristic Pinocchio. Great cast and plot but the last half hour went on too long and ruined the ending.
-
August 25, 2008Such fantastic effects in this film and great use of colour. Jude Law looks great as Gigalo Joe.
Storyline was a little drawn out towards the end, but visually this film was stunning and for the most part, entertaining. -

June 20, 2008This is half of a movie - one half hard drama, the other half indulgent incredulity (and that's tough to do in the scifi genre). Cut back on the sap, and this would have been great. In other words, Gilliam should have directed it.

June 26, 2009This is a very interesting Sci-fi film. Sort of like Blade Runner meets Pinocchio. Basically about a robot boy who wishes to be human. A decent story with some amazing visuals and great F/X. Some good acting from Haley Joel Osment and Jude Law. The film is a good sci-fi film wit... ...( read more )

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
The structureless, meandering, slow-motion endlessness of Kubrick combined with the fuzzy, cuddly mindlessness of Spielberg. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
The best fairy tale -- the most disturbing, complex and intellectually challenging boy's adventure story -- Mr. Spielberg has made. full review

August 4, 2007I loved the film the first time I saw it! It was so touching and the music was so haunting. Every time it plays on television I watch it over again. Not unlike my other favorites "Wizard of Oz" and "The Phantom of the Opera".

August 2, 2007It is excellent. After the movie finished I wondered how a robot tries for thousands of years to live one day with love but we humans have many beautiful emotions but we ignore them in a second.
I love the plays, story and finally the theme of this movie. -
July 4, 2007I THOUGHT THIS MOVIE WOULD BE DUMB, BUT I CRIED EACH TIME I WATCHED IT, AND I DON'T CRY WATCHING MOVIES

March 13, 2007I love Haley Joel Osment, but I HATED this movie. I went into it thinking how wonderful it would be, and I kept that thought for a long time, until I just started to realize that it was just... messed UP. It could've been a very nice movie. But that ending? Ugh! The lights came up and there was total silence in the movie theater. Usually people applaud after a movie, for some reason. There was no applause. There was nervous laughter and then everyone left. This movie ... bluh.

January 12, 2007Trivia imdb:
*When work began on the movie in 1993, Joseph Mazzello was cast as David.
*Stanley Kubrick worked on the project for 12 years before his death, but along the way decided to let Steven Spielberg direct saying it was "closer to his sensibilities". The two collaborated for years, resulting in Kubrick giving Spielberg a complete treatment and lots of conceptual art for the film prior to his death.
*Haley Joel Osment suggested to Steven Spielberg that his character (David) should not blink. Spielberg agreed and went further to suggest that none of the androids should blink.In fact, several of them do.
*One of the reasons for Stanley Kubrick waiting so long to make the film, is that he wanted David (Haley Joel Osment) to be played by an actual robot. After Jurassic Park (1993) was made, Kubrick looked into using digital computer effects to create David.

December 29, 2006This was an excellent movie. I don't understand how people can be disappointed, bored, etc.. of it. One person even said they hated Haley Joel Osment??? how can they say that they haven't even met him and his acting skills in this movie are better than what any other child actor could do. Heck he's better than any adult actor to.
Jude law shows a great performance to and i admit the story line is a little messed up but that's probably what makes it such as good movie -
