[ Wrote:Angel,Jul 24 2004, 02:39 PM] I'm still brimming with excitement and expectation about the up-coming survival-horror, left-in-the-streets-of-Raccoon-city-all-by-my-lonesome "Resident Evil II".That's the only reason not to go to I, Robot showing late. There were decent trailers, and for Resident Evil: Apocalypse, they showed a Super-mutant shouldering a rocket launcher like it was from Fallout!!! I'm excited to see that movie for no other reason.
Similarly, I thoroughy enjoyed the Aliens vs Predator trailer before I,Robot. I didn't give a damn for the humans. They're fodder. I'm in it for the battle between AvP. There *might* be a likeable human protagonist, but I'm not counting on it. It isn't a survival horror so much as a battle royale muahahahaha.
I have had Will Smith prejudice because his quips don't belong in science fiction--but I'll restate after a certain point he actually acts and becomes the character of Del Spooner instead of smart-alecky Will Smith with 'white man so stupid' 'this situation's ridiculous' humour. Uh uh. I'm *glad* everyone stares like him like he's a fool in the movie. He is, and not a funny one. His "Let me get this straight" attitude does serve as a platform to explain the three laws of robotics and backround science/psychology for those not informed, at least--but it was unnecessary beyond that.
Do be excited about this movie Angel. I say its worth watching, and I'm glad to see one other agree with me.
