[livejournal.com profile] bugshaw and I have just been pleasantly surprised to find that I, Robot is not nearly as dire a movie as the trailers suggest. Yes, it has rather more in the way of action and explosions than your typical Asimov short story, but there was a lot more in the way of Asimov's ideas surviving into the final film than I'd expected. (Not to mention a nice homage to the Foundation novels.)

As an aside, I'm beginning to suspect that there's a whole slew of movies that people miss out on because their trailers give misleading impressions. I've certainly heard people comment that they avoided Three Kings and Black Hawk Down because their trailers made them look like stereotypical gung-ho war movies.
