  Bicentennial Man is an overlooked family film that isn't perfect, but nonetheless doesn't deserve all the negativity it has received. Chris Columbus directs this with flair and he makes something really good here, and quite entertaining. Due to some scenes, this may upset younger viewers, but this is sure to appeal to anyone looking for something unique to watch. I can see why some people may dislike this one, but I on the other hand found it very entertaining and very well done. The special effects are truly wonderful and they add so much to the film. I thought that Robin Williams was truly great in the lead role. This is a fine drama that manages to overcome its shortcomings due to its heart. The cast are wonderful and they elevate the material significantly. Bicentennial Man is not perfect, but it definitely entertaining and is worth watching. Chris Columbus has directed something truly incredible that is very much underrated and like I said does not deserve the flack it has received. Of course Columbus has made better films in his career, but this is an overlooked gem that definitely is worth your time. Robin Williams is a good actor and he deserves credit in giving the film its charm as well as some humor here and there to lighten the tone of the drama. There are things that could have been done better, but overall the film really soars above the negative aspects that all the negative reviews have pointed out. Give this film a shot if you're in the right state of mind, you may be surprised at how good it really is.

  This 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 find this touching or heartwarming, I didn't find it funny or enjoyable, I just hated it. I don't recommend this movie.

  hands 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 die. one line Andrew says truely shows the emotions you feel for him "it is torture that you can cry and i can't." The ending is one of the few movie moments that actually make me cry.

  You 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 <i>life</i>… More
  You 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 <i>life</i> to anything. A robot having feelings just like the human feels and looks just weird. If it could have feelings than my PC would have killed me for torturing it 24hrs. And the <i>making love</i> part was too must to tolerate. Robin Williams acted more like a human rather than a robot. Is he that bad? I didn't think so but this made him look terrible. Though it was a 2 hrs movie, yet I didn't find myself feeling bored. It was okay enough to watch.

  Only bad things can happen when you make a Robin Williams sex Robit.

• Dean M

  
  Average 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!

• Anthony L

  
  Over-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!

• Jason O

  
  Saw this at the theater and never understood why it wasn't well received; it's funny and has a great love story that works.

• Thomas B

  
  really clever concept. robin williams is brilliant. the dialogue is very well written as well.

  What 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 of the best movie ending I've ever seen, the touching one... Now Chris Columbus movies becomes my favorite... I really really wanted to see this movie again...

  This 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.

• Stephen M

  
  I saw this on a flight to Australia; I think it was still running when we got there. It's slower than evolution and sentimental enough to make you wince.

• Dean !

  
  A strange film and quite serious most of the time. Slighlty drawn out but overall a fairly good film. It's similar in story to Robots (also with Robin William's voice) and in other ways to A.I.

• Ross C

  
  Isaac Asimov inspired story of a domestic robot becoming human. Surprisingly good, and the ending is simply excellent.

• xGary X

  
  I can't stand Robin Williams at the best of times, but this saccharine soaked mush had me reaching for the sick bag. Like the similarly nauseating AI with a frontal lobotomy.

• Jason S

  
  Slow.

• Leigh R

  
  Good movie and oh, so, sweet.

  [font=Arial][color=darkred]I shed a tear for what the great comedian Robin Williams has become. Once the quickest and sharpest of minds just cascading with outrageousness and fanciful wit has been turned into the Holiday gift-giver of schmaltzy pull-from-the-heartstrings sap. And 'Bicentennial Man' is simply the final nail in the coffin for the Robin of old.[/color][/font] [font=Arial][color=darkred]The story of 'Bicentennial Man' is set in the not-too-distant future, so not-too-distant that it looks like it's just next week - with the addition of flying cars. The future seems to lack outbursts, crime, and even minorities. Seems like not everyone has a future I guess. In this world of marvels you can buy a shiny metal man for your homelife and/or atrociously neglectful parenting needs. Enter walking trash receptical robo-Robin as Sam Niell's family nanny and solution for not getting his children a dog. Through the 200 years robo-Robin learns to laugh, and love, and what the true meaning of humanity is and heart. Put some scrubs on him and this entire thing is basically 'Patch Adams in Space'.[/color][/font] [font=Arial][color=darkred]As the film lags on it grows increasingly more annoying until the point where it might cause audiences to bleed from the ears. If you thought a dentist appointment was painful just wait until the euthanasia comedy kicks in with this sucker. [/color][/font] [font=Arial][color=darkred]Williams yet again throws on his usual Holiday blubbery dough eyes and message of good will. But this time the pill is much harder to swallow, especially coming from an actor encased in silver foam rubber. The movie aims for a deep message of what makes us human, but comes away more likely with the message of "Wait an hour for Williams to get this crap off then do his schtick." If you're trying to find out what makes people human, it certainitely ain't this flick.[/color][/font] [font=Arial][color=darkred]Williams has such unparalelled comic ability that one wonders why he is wasting his time on sappy films like these when he needs to flee back to his zany comedic roots. Anyone could be a robot in this, judging from the acting for a start, but no one can do the things Williams does - and that's why his uniqueness is being utterly wasted.[/color][/font] [font=Arial][color=darkred]The real heart breaker isn't in this movie, it's seeing Robin Williams fade into mediocrity and seem content with it. A moment of silence for the Robin we all knew please...[/color][/font] [font=Arial][color=darkred]Nate's Grade: D[/color][/font]

  First of all, I must say that it was WAY too long. But "Bicentennial Man" was a very moving film for me, and I thought it was beautifully done. I've now seen it 3 times, and it was as moving for me at the third viewing as for the previous viewings. I believe Robin Williams was a good choice to play Andrew. While he is in the metal suit, and later out of it, he is talented enough to control is body language and delivery to make him look and sound believable as Andrew Martin. And while it is funny to watch Robin Williams perform some light comedy and slapstick to liven things up, the movie meanders between that . Celine Dion my fav singer , I loved the end-credits song very much , her voice was so powerful , I wonder how come it was not nominated, and "Titanic"'s was... so I give 8/10 for the movie & for amazing Celine Dion sing's I give 10/10, Here is the link for Celine Dion song " then you look at me" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzyUWLD9f1o enjoy

  Meant for imagination. Probably nothing else.
