This was a great movie with amazing special effects. It has constant violence with some blood. Parents be aware there is one car crash scene with a bunch of blood. Language wasn't that bad. Overall I loved it one i never get tired of!

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how our lives have changed over the past 20 years due to the development of computers and how they are likely to change over the next 20 years. What will we gain and what will we lose? Why was Spooner the only one who did not trust the robots? If you could create a robot, what would you make sure it could do and what would you make sure it could not do? When we can create machines that do so many things better than we can, what is it that makes us human? Will machines ever have feelings?

One of my top 10!!!
This movie is veeeerrrrrry violent, not nessecarily to people, but to robots that look very humanlike. They get stuck in wheels, heads chopped off, crushed under cars, and more disturbing stuff.It was fairly disturbing, but not one of those Holocaust-bawl-your-eyes-out-disturbing-movies. (You all know what I mean!)Also, SPOILER WARNING!!!!!!, {the idea of robots that are living in our homes and are taking care of our children are going to take over the world can be very harsh to little ones!} Also, there is some very strong language used very poorly by Shia LaBouf. ( An f-word is said, and Will Smith is constantly spewing curse words. I do have to say, though, nobody swears as good as Will Smith!!!) Finally, Will Smith's side profile is shown, though nothing sensitive is snown, it can be a little awkward to watch with your parents!!!! ;-) Other than that, it is a great movie for teens. One of my top 10, definately!!!!

A great movie for teens and up. There is a very large amount of language though. Nearly everything but the f-word is said.

Entertaining, Will Smith Action Movie
I, Robot is very different than the book. If you go to this movie expecting a paper-to-screen transformation, you'll be disappointed in that aspect. However, that is probably the only aspect of this movie you could be disappointed by. Will Smith is a superb actor and the director creates a realistic future world. The plot develops through the movie and builds up to a satisfying finale. If you're in the mood for a PG-13, Sci-fi, action movie, this one of the best. Parents should know that I, Robot has a lot of action violence, mostly involving robots v.s. humans where robots are torn to bits and humans are thrown about, however it is almost all bloodless though. There is PG-13 swearing (s**ts, a*shole, jacka*s) and a side profile of a naked will smith (nothing visible).

best movie ever!!!
I have to say this is one of my favorite movies of all time. It is kind of violent, and maybe scary for younger kids but other then that it is absolutly amazing.

It's OK for preteens, really.
It had a lot of product placements, but I didn't care. But they may concern others. The film was more suspenseful/scary than violent

An Engaging and Thoughtful Thriller!
I, ROBOT is well worth seeing. It promotes much thought and discussion and has an intriguing plot, plus great acting and special effects. But can your kids see it? Sex is minor, with one very mild innuendo and two three-second scenes where you see Will Smith and his girlfriend in the shower (seperately). His backside is barely visible and steam covers everything but her shoulders and head. Language is constant "s**t" is used at least a dozen times and there are heavy uses of "d**n", "a*s" and "SOBs" too. There are big bangs, clashes, explosions, and gunfights, but the only gore is some bloody scrapes on Will Smith (once he briefly spits out blood). There is a very tense scene where a young girl and Will Smith are seen in a car sinking in a lake, and a robot saves Will Smith instead of her (setting into motion his hatred of robots). This is a great film, and fine fare for teenagers and adults.

I really enjoyed this movie...
This movie really was a winner. All-Star acting, great special effects, sweet story, and thrilling action made this movie an instant hit. There is a fairly high amount of violence, but for them ost part it's nothing a 12 year old couldn't handle. In my oppinion, the language is the big issue. While there are no f***, thre is stil strong language, and frequent at that. I believe that this movie is for them ost part appropriate for teens 13 and up

Great Movie!
This is one of Will Smith's greatest movies ever made. but i CANT BELIEVE common sense gave this an on for 13 and up...i think it should a know your kid for 13 and up...but whatever. there is language, not to much, but there is language. theres at least on dick, i think 3 shits, and i believe there are 2 damns, and if you count hell as a cuss word, (i dont) theres about 5. violence can get pretty intense, with a really bad car wreck, then a seemingly defenseless Will getting knocked around by a robot that reminds me of the Terminator mixed with Spiderman. in a scene where robots are assaulting allot of people, you see a man get his head crushed, people are thrown all over the place, robots are shot, and we see a 12 year old girl screaming for help while drowning. so there is plenty of violence. as far as sexual content goes, you see Will in the shower with his leg covering his crotch, we also see a female protagonist in the shower with mist overing everything but her neck/face and her legs. for the first time in my life i dont think common sense was hard enough on this movie. know your kid, 13 and up.

Good Movie, Bad Language
To start off, I very much enjoyed this movie. I watched most of it, and from what I saw I would say noone younger than thirteen should watch this. It had a few intense scenes, but for the most part it wasn't "scary". The most recent Will Smith movie I'd watched was "I Am Legend", which was disturbing in many ways. Naturally I was worried that this movie would freak me out, and compared to "I Am Legend" this movie could easily be rated PG. However, ratings are not a comparison, and this movie could most certainly not have gotten a rating any lower than a PG-13. The violence was PG-13 level, but as far as the violence or intensity of this movie goes any average-less than average eleven year old could see this. The big thing with this movie is the language. They swear so often. From what I saw there were no F words, but as far as I'm concerned, a swear word is a swear word. The thing that got me was how often they used God's name in vain. How many times, I'm not sure. But definitelly more than any child should be hearing
