Critics Consensus

Bicentennial Man is ruined by a bad script and ends up being dull and mawkish.

Feb 16, 2018 Full Review Bicentennial Man | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Rated: C- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Bicentennial Man | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Nell Minow Common Sense Media Film about robot who wants to be human is so-so. Rated: 2/5 Dec 22, 2010 Full Review Bicentennial Man | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Brian Bertoldo Film Threat Williams and director Chris Columbus have crafted a moving, hanky-clenching drama, without ramming the emotion down your throat. Mar 18, 2024 Full Review Bicentennial Man | Rotten Tomatoes (5) George M. Thomas Akron Beacon Journal The film is worth a look. Williams is the primary reason. His performance has heart, brains and courage. Rated: 3/4 Oct 28, 2023 Full Review Bicentennial Man | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Catherine Graham Santa Cruz Sentinel Chris Columbus -- who is undeniably skilled at making funny movies -- has the deft touch of a steamroller when it comes to serious matters of the heart, mechanical or otherwise.

Julian S Though not on par with “Mrs. Doubtfire,” “Bicentennial Man” possesses an undeniable charm that may bring a tear to your eye. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/17/24 Full Review Marcus W 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. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/17/24 Full Review John D 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 Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/26/24 Full Review Marijana K 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 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/15/24 Full Review Michelle L 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."Be good to yourself, be kind to others, and make the world a better place" - Gentle Spirits Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/24 Full Review Ben H 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! Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
