I liked it just fine!

I know there are a lot of Asimov diehards that found it disappointing. I don't know why. The iRobot book wasn't even really a book, it was a collection of short stories. Not exactly an easy thing to adapt to a movie.

The movie basically goes "there are 3 laws of robotics" and then its just action schlock the rest of the way. Also, iirc, it's basically a car commercial too. I think it could have explored the themes of the book more, but I dunno.
