    A film with fantastic possibilities that is sadly flawed. Set well into the future, a cybernetics company makes the first life-like robot that is not only a boy child but imprints itself on the adopted mother and learns by developing responses based on love. Haley Joel Osment largely has to carry the film and at times I felt his innocent questioning expression wasn't quite up to it. We go back to the banality, frequently admitted in the film that, at the end of the day, he is no more than a machine. The machine may be a therapeutic tool for a mother who has lost her only natural child, but beyond that? It seemed incomprehensible to me that such a society would develop with so little in the way of ethical codes of practice, and so seemed to put the film more firmly in the younger-audience market, yet some of the scenes would be unacceptable to those younger audiences. That leaves quite a narrow bracket of, say, 12 to 18 years. The dynamics of Mother-Child emotion are played out quite well at certain times, and it would probably be enjoyed by parents who don't shy away from the obvious cheesiness or the sci-fi trappings. The film's best part, for me, was the ingenious ending, that brings further elements into play and unexpectedly gives some food for thought - though not enough to justify nearly two and a half hours of cheesy comic-adventure. Very Spielberg, but not quite in the class of his all-time greats.

    I liked it a lot but i wish Kubrick had directed it. Spielberg does a good job but it's just too....well, Spielbergy!

    Steven Speilberg?s modern take on the classic Pinnochio story is a high quality special effects film. With interesting characters and what starts out to be a magical futuristic story, soon turns out to a be a darkened tale of love and loss.

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

    Very 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.

    An observing masterpiece about man's real place in the universe, and also about the simple, unconditional love of a child to his/her parents. It could have been very interesting for this to be finished by Kubrick himself, but Spielberg hit all the right notes and made maybe his m...( read more)ost reflective film without any explosions. Another sci-fi film with a heart that transcends emotions. Haley Joel Osment's performance was unbelievable, possibly the best performance of a child in a film that I've seen.

    Very intelligent story. The movie is a bit long but the time is really needed. SF meets Fairy tale. Really impressive and gives us lots to think about. If we'll ever have intelligent robots the moral dilemma is here already.

    Muy buena pelicula. Larga como la cuaresma. Un final bastante emotivo.

    An alright movie...the ending could of been better I guess...Haley Joel Osment does a good job in this though...

    This movie was originally gonna be a Stanley Kubrick film but he gave it to Spielberg because Kubrick thought that Spielberg could do the high tech graphic nature of this sci-fi movie better justice. This is a decent retelling of Pinocchio including an allusion to the story
