They sure promoted the hell out of that movie... I was so pumped about seeing it and I couldn't agree more!! What a complete and total dissappointment! Bad, Bad, Bad in everyway!!

I thought the production was good and stuff like that.
One question I have is who was supposed to be the target audience. When it was in the theaters, I kinda thought it was meant for kids. A lot of kids would have had nightmares over that movie. A lot of PARENTS would have had nightmares over that movie.

We don't have to see the movie, there's enough artificial intelligence around here to last a lifetime!!

Ya know, I was with the movie, even up to the point where she dropped the kid off in the woods like a dog ya don't like...
I was completely lost after that, and when the aliens showed up... quite possibly the worst movie I've ever seen.

And then the ending! What was up with that?
"We've pretty much painted ourselves into a corner, so here's a MILDLY happy ending." UGH!
I DID like the opening, when they mentioned that the Earth had done so much harm to the environment that the polar ice caps melted and blah blah blah...
It took me a while to stop laughing after that though.

I was okay with the movie until the aliens pulled him out of the ice.
From that point on, it was just too over the top.
Jude Law made a great robot-man, though.

I still have some hope for Minority Report. But, like was said, after this crap, I kinda am losing some faith in Spielberg. That, plus, it has Tom Cruise, who, I can't much stand after he left Nicole. Whenever I see him, I think, "You had an affair. Sick man."

The movie didn't disturb me, really, but I'm desensitized to ANYTHING other than being groped (Try me!). I just thought it was long as hell and rather boring. Eh.

parts of it you could tell it was a kubrick movie ... and i liked those parts ... i liked the way the film was long and drawn out ... starting as an interesting story of how a robot kid would fit into a family ... and then expanding into a world reaching movie then again expanding into a time reaching movie ... but spielburg added to many ET moments and sugar moments ... the film needed to be more raw to pull off what it was trying to do
i thought the actor that played the kid was amazing and i loved the bit where he was trapped (wont say anymore then that incase people havent seen it)

Perhaps the only true redeeming point of this movie was the very intriguing and enjoyable interactive web game it spawned. It was backed heavily by Microsoft (with almost no fanfare), enlisted author Sean Stewart at the head writer, and featured some of the most intriguing views at a potential future I've seen in a while.
Those folks who were involved in the game at various points were treated to some of the very best the Web has ever had to offer, done by folks who really wanted to push what could be delivered and how. It revolved around a murder and the puzzles that came after required folks who knew about cognitive theory, clay models, binary, molecular biology, cryptology, brute-force hacking, and lots of other stuff. It was pretty heady stuff and a real thrill to be involved in.
I hope to see something very similar to this soon. Word is, it's coming.

Oh, lots of courageous critics here...
Does it give you all a warm feeling to gather around someone else's work and ritually piss on it? Do you enjoy the feeling of belonging it gives you to share a random critical opinion with other strangers? I've never understood this kind of thread, where everyone essentially writes in to say the same thing. Aside from the folly in following the aesthetic judgment of someone who can't spell "Spielberg," what kind of courage or originality does it require for you to say "me too?" Does your aesthetic judgment become more satisfying and nominally "right" because a large group of anonymous posters share it with you?
The one refutation I would offer to this point is that far from rolling in his grave, I think Kubrick would have been very pleased with the adaptation Spielberg made to "his" movie. It has the same lack of humanity, the distance between the audience and the characters that are a hallmark of many of Kubrick's movies. All Spielberg could relate to is the child-abandonment theme, which he enjoys rehashing over and over.
But just try to remember, as Susie Bright once said, any idiot can tell you want they don't like. Courage comes in admitting what you DO like. So how could A.I. have been better? What movies have been made about robots and artificial intelligence that you WOULD recommend? I start with Ridley Scott's once and future masterpiece, Blade Runner, on a double feature with Andy Kaufmann, Bernadette Peters and Peter Boyle in Heartbeeps (you could look it up)....

Wow, I just feel so chastised I can barely cope.
I still think the movie sucked though.
Know what other robot/people movie sucked? The Robin Williams one. Don't you think if we had robots that amazing and cool, we would've made 'em so you didn't hear a *click* everytime they blinked?
