Here's a typical Will Smith movie which means lightweight action, him proclaiming he is Mr. Macho throughout the film, a dumb story.....but an entertaining film in a number of spots and fun to watch ONCE. That about sums up a lot of his films, one or two of which are a little better and a couple are far worse. Overall, this is pretty good....but there is only so much I can take of smug people (can you say, Chevy Chase?).
You can thank the special effects team for bailing out Smth's arrogant butt and making this movie fun to watch here and there. There were some very entertaining gadgets in here, especially the robots. The movie makes little sense, has no credibility and is a just a vehicle for mindless entertainment, which is fine at times. There is a place for that, for those who need a break from too-serious films.
This also is an excellent vehicle for the DVD format because the visuals are razor-sharp and colorful and the surround sound effective.
This is a combination sci-fi/western/comedy rolled into one and is almost a cartoon in nature. The villain, played by Kenneth Branagh, is so ludicrous that he's almost comical. Kevin Kline, as Smith's partner, is a likable guy and Hayek is there for her usual purpose: show off her ample boobs.
It's entertaining but I liked the old television show of this much better, the one featuring Robert Conrad and Ross Martin.
