Title: Long and boring
Product review: Very long. Very boring. This movie did not hold my attention very long. I made it about 1.5 hours through and realized that you were basically watching the same story being repeated over several generations in the same family. The whole "freedom" and "declaration of humanity" themes just didn't save it. It's very difficult to portray the life of a single character spanning 200 years, and "Bicentennial Man" didn't pull it off.The biggest problem is that the life of "Andrew" is portrayed so quickly, moving through time like the years are broken blades of grass, it's impossible to make a connection with the character. Once you think you may be connecting with him and feeling what he feels, BAM, the movie just skipped 16 years, and you're left with, "Hey, wait a minute, I was just getting into that period."Robin Williams and the special effects guys did a fantastic job. Other than that, it's just plain dumb.
