I don't know what the hell this movie was about. I couldn't understand a word that the Robin Williamsbot was saying. They picture sucked. The audio was bad. It wasn't funny. I only saw it to see the Star Wars Episode 3 preview. At least I got my money's worth on that one.

Robots is a visually stunning movie set in a colorful, metallic world. The creativity applied to the character and set design is first-rate. I sat in front of my TV, open-mouthed, trying to take in all of the visual information. Every minute object was detailed down to the smallest rivet. The characters were surprisingly unique visually. Unfortunately, there was no heart to hold up their colorful exteriors. There wasn't a single character that I liked enough to become attached to. None of them were fun to hate, either, which made the villains surprisingly ineffective.
The story felt like recycled leftovers. "Let's make some fun robot characters, put them in a neato city, and let them cause trouble!" "But, what about the story?" "Oh yeah, I guess we need one of those don't we? Let's see what we have here in the stock-recycled-garbage bin!" It was that bad, really. I mean, aren't we all tired of the "evil management" plots?
The voice acting was decent, I'd just like to hear actors like Paul Giamatti voice a better character, in a better story. I bet this guy could really shine in the right voice-over role. But even the best talent can't overcome shallow characters. Robin Williams comes close. I know he's voiced his fair share of animated characters (none of which will ever top the Genie in Aladdin), buy I never get tired of his performances. He's great in Robots and almost makes his character successful. Almost. He is the source of most of the humor though.
As far as humor, Robots had way to many pop-culture references for me. Those kinds of jokes get old fast. And many of the plays on robots felt forced, like the writers felt they needed a joke at a certain spot, so they inserted the next one on the list. Not that I never laughed, because I did. But the comedy was hit-and-miss, more often than not missing.

In a wondrously clanky universe populated solely by mechanical beings live memorable robots Rodney Copperbottom, a young genius inventor who dreams of helping robots everywhere; Cappy, a beautiful, dynamic and savvy bot with whom Rodney is instantly smitten; the nefarious corporate tyrant Ratchet who locks horns with Rodney; Bigweld, a master inventor who has lost his way; and a group of misfit bots known as the Rusties, led by Fender and Piper Pinwheeler. Fenders head, arms, and legs routinely fall off at the most inopportune moments. As Rodney fulfills Fenders ongoing need for repairs, the two become fast friends. Piper is Fenders tomboy kid sister, who surprises everyone with her determination and strength.
Another movie by the guys who brought you Ice Age, Robots is a fun movie that kids will enjoy and adults will find tolerable. I took 3 of my cousins to this movie (16 year old girl, 13 year old boy, 9 year old boy) and paid attention to how they responded to the movie. They seemed to enjoy the movie alot (but the Episode III trailer before the movie alot more). I'd say this movie was a little better than the average children's movie. Alot better than say... Spirit, but not even close to the caliber of the Incredibles.
There are a couple of comments made in this movie that have obvious double meanings. Most of them are way over most kid's heads, but I wouldn't bet on it. There is a robot that (inadvertantly) crossdresses through part of the movie, yet toward the end he plays it for all it's worth, complete with a Britney Spears song. That was painful, but did send a ripple of laughter through the younger audience in the theater.
Robots is a visually stunning movie with a decent storyline and a few good laughs. Kids will enjoy it, but most adults will be checking their watches before the movie is halfway over.
