The Second Worst Movie I've Ever Seen


Very depressing - many people die throughout
Literally no point to the movie
Waste of Robin Williams
Tries to be poigant about life and the human condition and fails



Movie is a giant waste of time period.

Totally Depressing? No, but it has that feeling, and has comedy, romance,
reflections, etc. how plain a person must be to cannot watch the rest?

Yes, there's no point to give a deep vision about value life and being a human, as this movie does.

Yeah, totally wasted, Robin Williams just should work in a circus,
and not make movies like this, cuz he transmits humanity at a great level, please don't.

Your post failed, the movie works very well, and people (not simple haters)
could tell you that in different ways and shapes.

I am respectfully going to disagree. I think this is a great movie, that is very underrated. Also Robin Williams was wonderful here, and this movie while very touching does have some very nice humourous touches as well. And I love the soundtrack, it's beautiful. I personally don't understand the hate Bicentennial Man gets, I have seen it being criticised for being overly-sentimental, depressing and pointless, when to me it is none of those things. There are some great movies more sentimental than Bicentennial Man, look at The Elephant Man, Fearless or My Girl. Before I finish, can I ask a question without you getting offended? What is the worst movie you've ever seen?

Can I just say that I love the title of this thread? hahaha

This apple may be fake but at least it has stars on it.

Of course many people die throughout. Andrew lived for years beyond the normal human lifespan. Should Little Miss have lived to be 150 or so?

The point of the movie, to me anyway, is simply one of growth and change and hearkening back to the past and applying that hearkening to the present.

I think it is a beautiful film (and I am NOT a Robin Williams fan) but I think he did a tremendous job here.

I LOVE the pacing of the film. No protracted suspense scenes. Just a fascinating continuation of Andrew in contrast to the humans around him. A wonderful film!

I personally love this film. A lot of that has to do with the music in it, and it's just one of those films that leaves me feeling introspective, and like I've "gained" something while watching it.

That aside, you CANNOT have seen too many bad movies if this is one of the worst for you. Ever heard of Dracula 2000? Or there's precious gems like Time Bandits that are so bad they're actually somewhat brilliant comically.

Point is. This may not be your cup of tea, but it definitely doesn't deserve to be in the "worst" camp.

This is the second greatest movie I've ever seen. Rarely have I ever been moved by any film more. I saw this film many years ago but time has not been able to diminish its greatness in my mind.

Clearly the OP has not seen many films. Then again we are talking about a kid who thought American Pie 2 was amazing lol.

lol, hey man thanks for looking into my past posts. I don't know if anyone else has done that in the 11 years I've been on this site.

When I saw AP2, hell yeah, I thought it was an amazing film! I was about 15 years old. Of course I was going to think that movie was amazing.

See my reply to another user in this thread. Robin Williams himself said the movie was depressing.
