There were ads, but have you noticed real life? Drive down the highway and tell me how many 20 foot tall ads you see per mile. Life is full of advertising (unfortunately). The only stupid one was the shoes.

Minority Report was like this as well at some points in the movie.

edit: Then again, most futuristic movie show an abundance of ads, which just compounds what notfred posted :)

Exactly... there's ads all over in real life. I haven't read the Asimov piece but I thought the movie was decent. Maddox can eat a fat one as far as this movie is concerned.

Yeah like anyone would've went to see Maddox' version. He doesn't get it. ENTERTAINMENT with fillers.

I did think there was way too much attention on Smith's build, but I doubt I'd be saying the same if it were a woman. The double standard manifests itself again I suppose.

I didn't really think the Converse scene was too much. They tried to portray his character as being somewhat retro, and that scene fit with that idea. It kind of reminded me of Bullock's character in Demolition Man.

I usually agree with Maddox, but I cannot on this. I actually enjoyed the movie, and agree with Descartes on the Converse issue.

I haven't seen the movie but I have read the book. Based on what I've seen in previews, Maddox is accurate that the only thing following the book is the title. I won't waste my money on this one.

The movie looked horrible from the ads, and tbh I don't much like Will Smith movies... they're... well, bad :p Maddox is funny as hell, and imo usually right. I wouldn't have seen it anyway, the article just supports that decision.

it was like Will Smith went and saw troy and decided he wanted to be brad pitt.

ok, enough already, we all know will smith isn't a skinny teen ager anymore.

I enjoyed the movie, although I didn't catch the Prudential Insurance part, where was that at?

Then they started making out, not because they necessarily wanted to, but because they wanted to remind people that they have the right, and a theater is a great place to make a political statement.


ROFL!
