I, Robbed

Which is roughly how anyone who knows Asimov's robot stories will expect to feel when they see the Hollywood spin on I, Robot. I have no idea why Hollywood dumbs it down and screws it up so thoroughly, but given what they've produced in the way of inept sci-fi movies, I'm willing to script an inanity-guaranteed, mankind's-worst-fears realised good-robot/ bad robot series for them.
Meanwhile, Philip Ball gets to the heart of the problem:
"I, Robot is not in the end a movie about robotics (forget the token stuff about robots evolving feelings, which was handled far better in Blade Runner, a movie to which I, Robot is deeply indebted). Instead it is the old promethean legend once again - the story of the Golem of Prague, of Viktor Frankenstein, of the man who makes a monster he cannot control. It was in just such a tale, written by the Czech playwright Karel Çapek in 1918, that the word 'robot' first appeared, derived from the Czech robota, meaning 'forced labour'. In Çapek's story, a race of beings created as slaves by a scientist called Rossum (from the Czech rozum, reason) rebels and wipes out humanity.
It was precisely such a clichéd view of the robot that Asimov sought to displace. 'Under the influence of the well-known deeds and ultimate fate of Frankenstein and Rossum', he said, 'there seemed only one change to be rung on this plot - robots were created and destroyed by their creator. I quickly grew tired of this dull hundred-times-told tale. I began in 1940 to write robot stories of my own - but robot stories of a new variety.' Evidently it is not so easy to dislodge a myth."
