| "One of Spielberg's most thought-provoking efforts." |
| ReelTalk Movie Reviews |
| Betty Jo Tucker |
3/5 | "Mr. Spielberg, your love is real. Your movie, sadly, is not." |
| Filmcritic.com |
| Christopher Null |
| "The film's interests are becoming exponentially Spielbergian, that is to say, sentimental and soggy." |
| PopMatters |
| Cynthia Fuchs |
3.5/4 | "...here is the ideal summer motion picture: the one in which style and substance work hand-in-hand to encourage lengthy discussions amongst its viewers." |
| Cinemaphile.org |
| David Keyes |
A | "It's a Hollywood film that defies what a Hollywood film is about, while in essence still being a Hollywood film of excesses and special effects." |
| Ozus' World Movie Reviews |
| Dennis Schwartz |
4/4 | "Filled with endless imagination and wonder...sure to go down, in time, as one of the brilliant achievements in modern moviemaking." |
| TheMovieBoy.com |
| Dustin Putman |
3/4 | "A film that is as haunting as it is painfully messy." |
| Slant Magazine |
| Ed Gonzalez |
B | "A sad, strangely fascinating story that holds a viewer's interest but mostly leaves his emotions alone." |
| EricDSnider.com |
| Eric D. Snider |
3.5/4 | "Because audiences are so predisposed to a 1-2-3 style of storytelling, one viewing may do an injustice to convince someone of its power." |
| eFilmCritic.com |
| Erik Childress |
A | "Bizarre, upsetting, wonderful." |
| Film Blather |
| Eugene Novikov |
B- | "A good deal of A.I. is striking and memorable, but it's a distinctly uneven picture whose reach exceeds its grasp." |
| One Guy's Opinion |
| Frank Swietek |
| "An elusive, spellbinding, and visionary film that tutors us in the spiritual practice of ensouling the world of things through love and imagination." |
| Spirituality and Practice |
| Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat |
3/4 | "For all of its underdeveloped potential and truncated subplots, there's still enough of value in A.I. to make it a captivating experience." |
| ReelViews |
| James Berardinelli |
3.5/4 | "the kind of film that ... haunts your thoughts after you leave the theater" |
| Q Network Film Desk |
| James Kendrick |
3.5/5 | " Technically it is well-made..." |
| Sci-Fi Movie Page |
| James O'Ehley |
5/5 | "Spielberg's sci-fi fable is haunting, disturbing, flawed -- and unforgettable." |
| Netflix |
| James Rocchi |
8/10 | "Spielberg should thank the heavens that Haley Joel Osment exists. The movie's success entirely depends on his performance, and his performance is incredible." |
| Window to the Movies |
| Jeffrey Chen |
| "A frustrating but ultimately boring experience that I kept wishing was more exciting and engaging." |
| Screen It! |
| Jim Judy |
8/10 | "A picture that entertains, touches the heart and digs below the surface." |
| JoBlo's Movie Emporium |
| JoBlo |
B | "Spielberg fans will be shocked that A.I. doesn’t deliver all the warm fuzzies and easy answers of E.T." |
| Old School Reviews |
| John A. Nesbit |
| "I was not completely caught up in the allegorical implications of the story; perhaps I was too much aware of the
director’s attempts to be profound too much of the time." |
| DVDTown.com |
| John J. Puccio |
$3.00 | "Spielberg is so beholden to Kubrick and his vision that he never allows "Artificial Intelligence" to become his own. That loyalty creates some major conflicts in the film..." |
| Light Views |
| John Larsen |
| "Parts of the film get Phantom-Menaced down a bit, especially in one scene that features the voice of Robin Williams, but for the most part, it's all good." |
| Planet Sick-Boy |
| Jon Popick |
2.5 | "Although the film itself and its immaculate pacing keeps us believing his love is real – it is impossible to be intellectually honest and come to that conclusion." |
| Bangitout.com |
| Jordan Hiller |
4/4 | "Spielberg atraviesa por el mejor momento de su carrera al realizar la que es, por mucho, su película más arriesgada y ambiciosa hasta la fecha" |
| Moviola |
| Jorge Avila Andrade |
4.5 | "Spielberg. Osment. Two excellent reasons to sit in a movie theatre." |
| Cinerina |
| Karina Montgomery |
2/4 | "Some of A.I. works, some of it fails miserably. Half brilliant, half crap." |
| Montreal Film Journal |
| Kevin N. Laforest |
B- | "...it leaves us wishing Spielberg had applied more of
Kubrick's obsessive fine tuning." |
| Reeling Reviews |
| Laura Clifford |
8.5/10 | "Los sueños de un visionario en las manos de un genio...
I.A. Inteligencia Artificial: el choque y la sinergia de dos leyendas: Kubrick y Spielberg.
" |
| Cinenganos |
| Luis Martinez |
3/5 | "A slickly crafted fable, however dark, but it's shot with haunting poetry." |
| TV Guide's Movie Guide |
| Maitland McDonagh |
4/4 | "My first impression of the ending was that it was too sentimental, yet upon another viewing, I had a completely different reaction--utter appreciation of a work of beauty." |
| Mark Reviews Movies |
| Mark Dujsik |
+3 out of -4..+4 | "There are some very nice sequences in this film, but overall it is stylistically uneven." |
| rec.arts.movies.reviews |
| Mark R. Leeper |
| "Does what truly great science fiction does, which is get you to think about what it means to be human." |
| Flick Filosopher |
| MaryAnn Johanson |
3/4 | "The most astounding effect of all is not mecha, but orga: Haley Joel Osment's transcendent performance." |
| Mr. Brown's Movies |
| Michael Dequina |
4/5 | "A sometimes uncomfortable, often brilliant and visionary blending of ... two vastly different styles." |
| Goatdog's Movies |
| Michael W. Phillips, Jr. |
4/4 | "If A.I. is sometimes maddening in its circuitous approach to the subject, that is only because it is filled with big ambitions." |
| Aisle Seat |
| Mike McGranaghan |
4/5 | "An ambitious, complex, provocative movie." |
| Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies |
| Nell Minow |
2/5 | "Uma grande frustração para os fãs de Steven Spielberg e também para os de Stanley Kubrick." |
| Cinema em Cena |
| Pablo Villaca |
4.5/5 | "The blending between Spielberg's childish sentiment and Kubrick's cold, hard stare is remarkable. It's so expertly made that it takes the breath away." |
| Shadows on the Wall |
| Rich Cline |
2/5 | "This may be the first solipsistic epic since 2001, but it has none of that film's wonder or mystery." |
| eFilmCritic.com |
| Rob Gonsalves |
B | "The fissures lurk throughout the film, but A.I. works around them quite admirably... until the unfortunate concluding sequence." |
| Flipside Movie Emporium |
| Rob Vaux |
4/4 | "While the end of the film seems contrived, it is also brimming with delicious irony concerning David's previously unrecognized humanity." |
| Laramie Movie Scope |
| Robert Roten |
B- | "A.I. is certainly more thought provoking than any summer blockbuster we've been presented with yet this season, but it leaves us wishing Spielberg had applied more of Kubrick's obsessive fine tuning." |
| Reeling Reviews |
| Robin Clifford |
4.5/5 | "Not nearly Spielberg's best, A.I. is a smart and entertaining piece of escapism...surely better than anything else littering your local multiplex screens this summer." |
| eFilmCritic.com |
| Scott Weinberg |
| "Even though Spielberg's heart is beating throughout A.I. you still feel the ghost of Kubrick watching from hidden vantage points" |
| rec.arts.movies.reviews |
| Shane Burridge |
B- | "What makes this world so compelling is that Spielberg shows us, as few others could have, how ordinary people like ourselves feel living in it." |
| Decent Films Guide |
| Steven D. Greydanus |
| "Love it or hate it, it's a triumph of innovative film-making, a blend of science and humanity, and a brilliant collaboration of two acknowledged masters." |

| Susan Granger |
3/4 | "Spielberg never surmounts his inability to avoid sentimental diatribes." |
