Will Smith - Box Set
Advantages: 3 amazing films. Disadvantages: none.
Will Smith has to be one of the most talented men on earth. He can sing, dance and act, brilliantly. Will Smith developed his acting career with 'Fresh Prince of Bellair' and from that he grew and grew. This box set is really good for it's price and Will Smith makes that price the more better. I robot is an action-packed film which is briefly about robots taking over the world. The robots are meant to be wonderful inventions and never able to harm ... ...film that is basically American originated. I can't really explain this film as I can't briefly remember it and also with the film 'Minority'.
I have seen these films and they are great but I can't really put it in to words about the two.
However this is a great box set to buy so I would recommend it. ...

The Good and Bad of I Robot
Advantages: Entertains Disadvantages: Does get abit boring in some places
What I personally enjoyed about I Robot is the opening seen of Will Smith in the shower, but I would. Throughout this film I thought that Will Smiths (Detective Del Spooner) performance was excellent, along with supporting actress Bridget Moynahan (Dr. Susan Calvin) just made the film. Both their performances complimented each other. The special effects all the way through this film are phenomenal, they are so realistic and very imaginative, companied ... ...just makes the film so individual and entertaning, it is a must see movie.
The only problem that I found within all the special effects, characters and of course the classic sound track (with songs by people you will know who ever you are) is that its a film where you cannot watch it over and over again in a short period of time, you do have to leave it for a couple months before you can rewatch it and not get destracted by anything else. I would ...

Independence day - gotta get me one of these!
Advantages: The price and the special effects, Plus the fact its an amazing film Disadvantages: The sound quality, Picture quality and so forth
About two years ago, I saw this film for the first time on VHS and then decided to buy it on dvd to see how much better the quality was. To say the least, I was disappointed. The quality isn't improved at all, The makers have just added extra features to the disc(s).
At the time of purchase I paid £11.99 for this 2 disc DVD, which is quite good considering the price you pay for DVD's these days lol.
Disc one is entitled ''The Invasion''. It includes:
... ...the original theatrical version.
*Scene-specific commentary by Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin
*Commentary by Oscar-Winning Special Effects Supervisors Volker Engel and Doug Smith
Disc one also contains the full feature film 'Independence Day'
Disc two is entitled ''Supplemental'' It includes: *Video previews
*Game previews
*Image previews
Did I enjoy it? : I actually did lol the film is a superb action thriller/Comedy and will smith is a ...
