Mjeteconer Just perfect...
GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Jesper Brun I wonder why it only has a rating of 6,3 on this website when it is worthy of a 7 with the well made world of robots and the giant step up in the quality of the animation since Ice Age. When I said Robots was fun I meant that when it hits it made me laugh, indeed. Robin Williams does his usual schtick and it never disappoints me, but with that said the humour is a bit of a hit or miss, because it can be juvenile at times. Robots has a good message about consumerism and wealthy and greedy businessmen making their profits off of poor people. It's nothing new, but sympathetic. The characters are pretty generic and not as complex as they were in Ice Age, but that doesn't make them bad at all. They're both likable and fun, just something we have seen before. Robots is enjoyable and entertaining and even though it's not the best from Blue Sky Studios it deserves more praise for its creative world building and beautiful animation.
Joel TJ Frain I really do not understand the hate for this movie, particularly Williams' performance. I loved his character, and I did not find him even slighty annoying. I think that was genius casting, because he fits the character of Fender perfectly.Also, the message is superb and is handled brilliantly. In fact, I'd say there are 3 main morals. "You are perfect no matter who you are", "Never give up" and "see a need, fill a need." They are all truly fantastic morals.My only flaw with the movie is that they didn't show the transport enough! That scene where Rodney and Fender take the "train" to Bigweld Industries is genius and amazingly imaginative. I wanted more!So overall, 94/100, great picture for kids, and has enough humour to keep adults entertained. I honestly have no idea why nobody talks about it like they do with Toy Story and Finding Nemo and other animations. Because in my opinion, Robots is up there.
SnoopyStyle Rodney Copperbottom (Ewan McGregor) is a son of a dish washing robot but he wants to be a big inventor for his hero Bigweld (Mel Brooks). Only BigWeld industries is taken over by the evil Ratchet (Greg Kinnear) who wants to phase out the older models and concentrate on selling upgrades. Rodney befriends Fender (Robin Williams), Piper (Amanda Bynes), and a gang of outmoded robots.It's a visually exuberant movie, but it's not that funny. As hard as Robin Williams tries, his manic voice work doesn't add any humor. That's the biggest issue with this movie. The shinny robots, the kinetic style, and the manic mannerisms make a potentially wacky movie, but none of it makes it funny. They should have asked Mel Brooks to help write some jokes for this movie rather than make him do voice work. It definitely needed some.
brassduke When it comes to wise-asses at Blue Sky Studios, i highly doubt this film is general enough for kids aged 5-12, This might be a bit of a spoiler, but i did see rather inappropriate scenes, some of the characters have a huge bum and say 'Crap', We see someone s*** themselves, they fart their heart out, they pull their pants down, and of course it has very unreliable violence. I Know Wedge and Saldanha are doing whatever they can to fulfil their destiny, but i don't at all find their films funny, I'm determined to watch Rio (2011) later this year and of course Epic (2013) Next Year, but i'm beginning to hate this film, It's nowhere near general, I Agree with it having a PG but i'm a little unaware of it's ideas, Such as an obese robot creating everything, or maybe even a dishwasher for a father, It's Crazy!And if your watching this Wedge (Or Saldanha, i don't mind) I will prosecute you both, i apologise for your wacky ideas and 'Ice Age' Triumph, BTW Congrats on the Oscar for 'Bunny' ^^
