<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Huh? They are making a sequel? The movie ENDED. Fin. And it was a good story, too. I hate it when Hollywood tries to sequellize a movie that has a clear-cut ENDING. It is absolute law that it will fail.</div>

<div style='font: ; text-align: left; '>The movie itself looks fine, but I don't see why they had to steal from Asimov, given that the movie doesn't look like it has anything to do with the book (how many has read the book)? They should have just called it T5 or Matrix 0 or something.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>i read it a long time ago, i dont remember much, but i thought I, Robot was a collection of like 8 or 9 interconnected short stories... the only thing the movie looks like it is using are the 3 rules.</div>

<div style='font: ; text-align: left; '>They might mention it, but they don't use the three rules. The robots attacked people! Asimov's robot series was interesting because the plots revolved around the intracacies of the rules and their implications. It wouldn't be an Asimov robot story if the robots outright broke the rules.</div>

(If that's the best they can do...) Honestly, I wouldn't mind the movie so much if they didn't just tack on the Asimov ideas and name without any thought to it.</div>
