Agreed.(I haven't seen it yet but it's pretty much common sense what you said.)

Maybe it came out that way, but I didn't insist, or mean to insist, that Will Smith had anything to do with the discrepancies between the film and the book. Although he does have a certain acting style, in most movies anyways, that macho touch guy style, that perhaps wouldn't have best suited a role for an Assimov adaptation, IF the writers and the director wanted to be true to the original. But, meh, maybe I just haven't seen enough of his movies. I mean, Assimov is action, of course, it's sci fi. But his characters also need to be able to deliver strong performances in certain parts as well.
