Robots Reviews |
... there are a few amazing action sequences set in the mechanical robot world that rival anything we've ever seen, at least in terms of technical proficiency and state-of-the-art wonderment. But where are the characters to make it all MEAN something? Watching strangers on a roller coaster isn't nearly as much fun as watching your friends. [read review] C+
--Eric D. Snider (EricDSnider.com)
Robots isn’t bad at all. There are some fun moments, the animation is astounding, and the heart is in the right place, but sadly there is no brain on board here and you have to settle with the simple pleasure of the gag, which for some will prove not to be enough anymore. [read review] 5/10
--'The Grim Ringler' (JackassCritics.com)
The look of the movie is all it had going for it though, but in comparison to other computer animated features. Maybe I should clarify that, see, Robots, did not have the grown-up sensibility that all these movies have had in the past. It really lacked the witty, otherwordly comparisons of Toy Story, Shrek, and even Ice Age. [read review] B
--Zak Santucci (TheCinemaSource)
...“Robots” provides a little something for each and every member of the family. The writing is smart, the animation is the best we’ve yet to see, and even though we’re talking about robots here, there’s a real heart and soul at the center of this terrific animated movie. [read review] A-
We're living in a golden age of animation, and "Robots" is 24-karat stuff, even if it has a soul of tin...The sophistication of its humor is at the level of "The Simpsons," and the computer animation is a wonder, down to every scratch and screw. [read review] 
--Kyle Smith (New York Post)
Robots gets its hands on the perfect high concept, and then -- like so many other films before it -- never thinks to add a decent story...There's creativity to spare here. Couldn't they have saved a little for something other than the scenery? [read review] C
--Rob Vaux (Flipsidemovies.com)
The jokes may come from all directions and Robots may be one of the most beautiful computer animated films ever made, but without sound characters and an original story, it’ll go through you like a Diet Coke/Cranberry Juice cocktail. [read review] 
--Uri Lessing (eFilmCritic.com)
Great job, Robin…you saved this film from being a truly unmemorable affair, in my opinion. Ironically, lots of people will hate the movie because of his over-the-top nature, so I guess it all depends what you’re looking for. [read review] 5/10
--'JoBlo' (JoBlo.com)
'Robots' is far from faultless, but it's quirky, imaginative, absolutely brilliant to look at and - most importantly - a lot of fun. If nothing else, it's a dead cert to keep Pixar on their toes. [read review] 7/10
--Gary Panton (Movie Gazette)
As a pure story of human interest, Robots falls just slightly short of the more personal tale of The Incredibles, though it's certainly superior in its rendering of a believable physical world. [read review] 
--Robert Strohmeyer (MovieWeb)
Two-thirds of this visually stunning comedy is truly first-rate, with futuristic cityscapes animated to cutting-edge perfection and a narrative paced like a well-oiled machine. [read review] 
Though it's often funny and technically impressive, "Robots" falls a little short of the accomplishments of "Toy Story" and "Monsters, Inc." in that regard. [read review] B-
--Jack Garner (TheJournalNews)
It's smart, imaginative and visually fluid. But there also is in "Robots" an underlying darkness and a sense that there's something cool in its coldness. [read review]
"Robots" has a plot that centers on the availability of spare parts, and uses a lot of them itself, borrowed from other movies. [read review] 
--Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
“Robots” is much more extravagant in its visual effects, of course; in fact, on that level it’s fairly successful. [read review] C
...Robots builds a fun story of hope and adventure filled with punch dialog and sharp comedic timing. [read review]
--Robert Strohmeyer (FilmCritic.com)
Robots is more than a load of spare parts, but there are some sprockets and rivets missing. [read review]
--James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
It’s worth a matinee as it’s enjoyable waste of time before it’s forgotten completely. [read review] 
Robots nails the message – and it’s a worthy one – but the magic’s missing in action. [read review]
--Kimberley Jones (Austin Chronicle)
Fanciful animation, star cast can't help 'Robots' salvage rusty story [read review] C+
...animation, it’s brilliant. If only the story was as sharp. [read review]
--David Cornelius (eFilmCritic.com)
"Robots'' is a film with the soul of a pinball machine. [read review]
