blue sky’s previous, ice age, was never going to be a highlight in the history of cgi, but it did show that they could play with the established big boys, and produce an entertaining, fun movie.

i quite liked ice age, but then i’m a sucker for the cute innocent baby, which is also why i loved monster’s inc. In monsters inc, billy and john seemed to be perfectly cast, with robots, i’m getting more of a sense of shark’s tale, whereby big name stars should attract the people to the cinema.
Ihe trailer seemed to be focused on robin william’s character a lot, even though he isn’t a main character in the actual film?
On the other hand, the fact that he chose this film to star in seems promising (or the influence of an obscene paycheck)

Ok. The plot was very weak. But, to give the film its credit, the animation was amazing as always. I think that Shrek and Ice Age were much better, but that is plotwise. Animationwise, Shrek, along with Toy Story, is the daddy of this kind of animation. I, personally, am looking forward to Ice Age II. Hopefully it will be as good as the first.

Huh? Who is this pointed at?

If at me, then sorry, but English is not my first language… I try to improve. :-/

funny you should “compare” Robots to Pixar, because in the first 15 minutes of Robots, I was actually thinking that Pixar had finally met it’s match (in terms of a movie that is comparable to a Pixar film). But then the movie didn’t go much higher than that, and I took back my thoughts. ;-)

entertaining film. Better than Ice Age and Shrek 2, I think. The models and animation is truly amazing. I was quite impressed with the dinged and rusty metal on the characters.

i didn’t see robots this week. i won’t see it next week or the week after. i feel that the movie is too weak (opinion made without seeing it) and won’t see it any week of the month or year.

my post was made in response to Raven’s response and partly in response to the review’s author. pixar is the superior film maker and everyone else should just stop making movies (and people with weak vocabulary should stop posting).

Well, I blogged about it at Movieslog… :)

Basically I said the same as you do… :D It’s a nice movie, but it has some really week moments when it feels like nothing is happening and also the story is a bit week.

But Robin Williams was great… :)

BTW I think it wasn’t even in the same category as Shrek or Ice Age, it was more for kids than those two…
