Anyone seen this? I just got back from the cinema.

I thought it was great, best film Ive seen in a while. Its also been a while since Ive seen people queing around the block to get in the cinema, esspecially on a week night.

Is it a lame comedy or a serious sci fi ?

It has humour just like Ironman has, it is not a comedy and not really a sci fi either.
Watch the trailer then if it looks interesting to you go see it then you would know

Ill still see it though. Hopefully the DVD will have all the deleted scenes that the stupid execs ordered be cut out/re-shot.

that review is very over critical imo. you should also put a spoiler warning on it.

I was surprised how good this was too, but it only works so well because of Will Smith. Worth seeing.    

Is it pure comedy all the way through or do they try and make it serious? I like the idea of a purely comic film but if it takes itself seriously towards the end then Im not sure whether Ill bother.

Think Of the humour will smith adds to I Robot, it is more like that.

Will Smith is 90% of the humour in the film, it doesnt aim to be a comedy but there are good comedy moments as youd expect.

I didnt like the twist but it was ok.

I agree - it was OK - they could have done with lessening up on the trying to point out there is some sort of a twist coming up all through the film - the glances etc
