I Love this movie. Touching and relevant! I wish Disney would preserve and update it to Blu ray or 4K

A near perfect representation of what the human condition means, from the position of one who is not created human. Robin Williams' finest role, IMHO.

I dont get the large hate of this film

Critics drink blood and live in New York. They wouldn't understand heart.

Haters will hate but this movie is great! The cast is wonderful in their roles and Robin Williams does a smooth and humorous job as the robot. Its not only funny with moments of innocence, but builds a relationship between the viewer and the cast to where you can laugh or cry at the appropriate times and be a participant in the story. This is entertainment folks, not a real thing, so go in with a light heart and join the fairy tale and get away from life for a few hours!

Boring but it totally had something to say...

The 3rd half felt a bit rushed, but overall, a surprisingly enotional Sci-Fi drama

A thoroughly considered "Pinocchio" story that feels like it takes place in the world of Star Trek and makes deft use of both Robin's comedic and dramatic skills. It's not an adventure or a kids' movie. it's a gently but profoundly existential sci fi drama with comedic elements. Underrated, but apparently not for everybody.

Another bad Hollywood adaptation of a great story by Isaac Asimov. Boring and meandering.

I've heard it said that this was mawkish and overly sentimental. It was panned by those that laughingly have the audacity to call themselves critics and largely by opinions on RT. You are so wrong. I watched this beautiful movie on its release and I'm not ashamed to say that I cried. Robin Williams gives a subtle metamorphosis, powerhouse of a performance which beautifully illustrates the characters emotional development. The supporting cast are all uniformally superb. Celine Dion sings for me her finest song and the rest of the score is top notch. It's sweet but also sour and life affirming. People have grown so cynical and unpleasant that they can't enjoy a well meaning movie without transferring their own personal bile, issues and wanting to make everyone else less happy in the process to justify and validate their own personal misery. Anyway, my wife and I loved it. We still do. Always shall. Shame on the haters. I genuinely pity your spiteful, unhappy lives.

Though not on par with “Mrs. Doubtfire,” “Bicentennial Man” possesses an undeniable charm that may bring a tear to your eye.

I watched the movie as a kid and was absolutely in awe the whole time and absolutely love this movie. I watched it again as adult 20 years later and still love the film. Robin Williams is a treasure, his films are instant classics and this is no exception.

You will not like this movie if your idea of science fiction is 'Independence Day' or anything by Michael Bay. You will probably like this movie if you liked Solaris, or STALKER, or any other work that requires you to rub two brain cells together

For me, one of the most beautiful films and I could watch it more than once With the inimitable Robbie Williams who performed this role masterfully, many people find this film boring because it needs to be understood because the film sends a message how priceless it is to be human But being a robot doesn't work like that without a human, but how much robotics can help a human today, again without human knowledge, is irreplaceable, but they can have good cooperation and it's a shame that this film is underrated.👍👍🇭🇷 For the movie

Hands down one of the best movies I had ever watched. Sorry for the people who are not able to open their eyes and realize that it was an interesting and wonderful movie. I am sad that Robin Williams passed away he always made me laugh and cry in happiness and in sadness. Where ever his soul is I bet you a wooden nickel that he is bringing laughter and joy to all. Hopping his family and friends are doing good in life. May they be filled with cherished memories of the past, love and comfort in the present, and long joyful journeys into the future.

A really good blend of SciFi, comedy and drama. I just watched it for the first time and I'm surprised how quickly the story progresses. And of course there is some to be desired in the sci fi department, but its a pretty great movie. Its solid, has a story to tell and I think everyone who is afraid of modern AI technology would be delighted to see how sacrificial Andrew is. To think, what if one day technology uses itself to discover and invent new technologies and medical breakthroughs for humans. I haven't seen one comedy drama that plays both parts so well. The sci fi is just icing on the cake!

Very bad adaptation for Asimov's work, I advise to read his books instead, you will not regret it.

the movie is the absolute example of "existencialism", maybe the performance of Robin williams as Andrew get old a little bad... but the story what holds?, that have to be the best in the movie, how he started his life like a simple robot, only to live and serve for a family who doesn't look at him like a thing... almost like a human being; is after the end of the beggining when Andrew wanted to be more than steel, rubber and cables... but flesh and bone, all for be like a living being, for enjoy a lot of things we do a lot of time like enjoy a meal, feel cold or hot, get fun about our job's; that kind of things what for him is a discovery; finally in the end of the movie is where the character know's what to do for finally be a complete human being, giving up everything only for go with the one he love's...

Robin Williams delivers one of his most endearing and nuanced performances as Andrew Martin, an android who seeks recognition and equality as a human being in this thought-provoking sci-fi drama. Expanding upon Issac Asimov's original book Bicentennial Man, director Chris Columbus and Robin Williams skillfully balance humor and gravitas as the film explores profound existential questions through Andrew's two-century journey to become "human." While the excellent visual effects still hold up (even better than some fairly recent Star Wars effects), the film's appeal lies in its heart. Andrew's desire for connection and meaning resonates deeply, as he forms relationships and touches lives across generations. Bicentennial Man examines humanity from an outsider's perspective, using Andrew's childlike wonder and wisdom gained over time to reflect our capacity for imagination, love, and growth. The story flows seamlessly between lighthearted comedy and heavier drama, wisely letting its themes unfold organically. Uneven shifts in tone are forgivable given book's episodic nature and the ambitious scope of this genre-bending film. Despite its flaws, Bicentennial Man proves to be a relevant metaphor that's full of hope two decades later, reminding us to look past our differences to see the humanity in all. Williams' moving performance coupled with the film's timeless message make it a sci-fi classic that continues to tug at the heartstrings. Favorite Scene: A standout moment, full of irony, arrives when Robin Williams is introduced to the concept of humor by Sam Neill, who is perfectly cast as a serious mentor. This clever scene exemplifies the film's ability to find poignancy and humor in examining the human experience through an outsider's perspective. It makes me wonder how Neill looks back on Williams' legacy.

Incredibly touching. Perfect Sunday, rainy day, film.
