Negative Positive
Title: Mission accomplished
Review: Typically, I try to watch a movie twice before forming an opinion.I couldn't bring myself to watch "A.I." again.Sure, the effort was there (unlike Spielberg's lazy "Lost World: Jurassic Park"), but the movie didn't have clear sense of what it was trying to be. Was it a fairy tale? A dark twist on that genre? It alternated between polar opposites too drastically to be coherent, and managed to be boring all the while.Other elements came out of left field ("Then a thousand years go by and hyper-intelligent robots make everything all better!") interrupting what little narrative flow there was. I like to be surprised, not flabbergasted.Another Steven Spielberg film, "Raiders of the Lost Ark," is my favorite movie, and one of the biggest blockbusters of all time. The consensus is that Spielberg has decided to stop making crowd-pleasing films.Mission accomplished.
