I, Robot was pretty exciting. Well, in any case, just as Asimov claimed he wasn't a writer of literature so much as a scientist, this (in having little to do with his works) was much more entertaining. All they used that I could tell were the three Laws and some name references; I could be missing some memory or another, but it seemed like the movie dumbed down the loophole/logic themes of Asimov's stories enough to popularize them and at the same time lumped them together nicely. And...robot jujitsu. You can't beat that. Seriously. It was so pretty. And I haven't cheered and slapped my legs like that since the all-aiki/jj scene in Blade II.

"What are you sniggering about?"
"You. You're discussing philosophy with a cat."
"What could be more natural? Cats are by their very nature very philosophical."
The cat nodded agreement. "When we're not sleeping or killing something."
