i thought it was brilliant, and very necessary ... until the point where Jack Black fumbled that last line.
but the movie was so awsome .. i can forgive that.

I actually found it kinda boring... Really over- and unnecessarily-done.
But Jackson IS a brilliant director, though.

It's too bad that Kubrick wasn't alive to follow through with
A.I. There were scifi sudo-philosophic elements that I thought were absolutely brilliant (i.e.
What is the true difference between Man and Machine? or
The creation of a true tragic hero - a creature/child that will ultimately outlive the one thing/person it was CREATED to live for). There were some great dark elements to it, but the end was absolutely abysmal.
I would have LOVED to see Kubrick complete
A.I. ALONE. No Spielberg.
- The movie would have ended tragically (as it should have - I can identify the exact point where it SHOULD have ended). Spielberg's shit cheese ending would have been GONE.
- It would have been much, much darker (more social and civil unrest between humans and the humanoids)
- It would have been much much more raw
