If Klatu and his robot had come to Earth to kill Jaden Smith, i would have given this Movie 10 stars. I'll be Frank. this kid ruined the movie for me. The 1951 version is still my favorite. 2008 version has some good effects, But changing the storyline is stupid. Casting is atrocious. And I'll say it again Jaden Smith killed the Movie for me.

1080pMovie Reviews
I saw this movie on TV last night, as I would have never gone to the cinema and wasted my hard-earned money on it. Especially not after having read some of the negative reviews posted here. I cannot but agree with most of them.<br/><br/>In a nutshell: Keanu Reeves was probably born to play this part. He is inexpressive and emotionless as the alien role is playing requires. Whether thanks to his acting skill or personality, I do not know, but he does a good job. Apart from him, everything else sucks. Connelly is totally unconvincing playing a scientist. Never saw any scientist looking like a model; honestly, if you are that attractive, you plan a career in show business, not in a lab. The kid – Will Smith's son - is a total brat. Obviously he got the part thanks to daddy. But what has this got to do with actually being able to act? Absolutely nothing.<br/><br/>To compound the felony, humankind is supposed to be saved thanks to the emotional connection of the alien with this obnoxious child. If this was a real life situation, I think the alien would speed up destruction after having met this unbearable brat. How is whining and being a pain in the ass supposed to prove that humankind will change for the better? If our salvation depends on a child – especially one like this – we are definitely doomed. And perhaps the aliens have a good point.
Can one little kid ruin a movie? <br/><br/>Yup.<br/><br/>Think I'm exaggerating? Watch this film. You can see Exhibit A of it right here in this science-fiction "classic" film, a re-make of the 1950s hit movie of the same title. This re-make actually would have only "bad" without inserting this annoying kid, but he made it "horrendous." Jaden Smith as "Jacob Benson" is a spoiled, chip-on-his-shoulder, disrespectful kid who incessantly talks back to his mother, who puts up with it - which is equally annoying for most audiences. <br/><br/>What was the purpose of inserting this kid in the film? What were the writers thinking? I'm glad to see a number of reviewers here agree with me on this one. I guess if you're the son of a famous actor (Will Smith), they'll insert you in film roles, even if there is no purpose to it. And Hollywood wonders why people don't go to the movies much any more, and they sneer at pitiful re-makes? <br/><br/>Meanwhile, Keanu Reeves was a good choice for his starring role: an emotionless robot-like alien. Reeves is such a wooden-sounding actor to begin with that playing a bland robot is good casting for him. "Klaatu" is tailor-made for him.<br/><br/>Comedy was provided via the ludicrous environmental fear-mongering message in here. I laughed out loud in several spots when "Klaatu" explained to us the reason for his mission. It's so stupid, it's laughable. I was reminded of Ed Wood's horrible sci-fi stories in the 1950s.<br/><br/>I will say some of the special-effects and the surround sound in here is excellent. It was the highlight of the movie. These are good visuals and good audio, and a nice film to view on Blu-Ray. Unfortunately, the story got in the way.
