I can't understand how poorly-written, poorly-conceived tripe like this gets produced in Hollywood. I can only assume that someone was bribed and that this was a vanity project bankrolled by someone's doting parent.

The scene on the poster there... the one where the little guy is dancing away to his friend's pan pipes in the streets of Brooklyn. That alone merits five stars. Such a great movie - everything strung together perfectly - the emotions, the plot, the characters, the cinematography...

Dropping it half a star because it is kind of rapey.

"... kiri, kiri, kiri..."

Despite GEN1 SCRIPTBOT XK ALPHA peppering the script with his handy [INSERT human_emotion.hook] it still left me feeling empty. Maybe the GEN2 script-writing robots will be better?

Even during the [INSERT heart-warming] scenes it felt like a small pointy-toothed beast named 'Despair' was chewing at my insides. Pretty sure I only watched it to the end because I was quietly hoping that a robot would get knocked out of the ring and land on Bad Boy Jackman.

The robot special effects were great but GEN1 SCRIPTBOT XK ALPHA should have run some optimization processes over the humans - they were all clichéd, one-dimensional throwaways.
