I must not have seen the same movie as the critics because this film has become one of my top ten movies. Neill Blomkamp has created a uniqueI must not have seen the same movie as the critics because this film has become one of my top ten movies. Neill Blomkamp has created a unique film, however critics seem to only be looking at it as copying other movies with robots in them. Chappie tackles issues about family and nature vs nurture. He has a creator looking out for him and hoping to nourish his mind with art and poetry while the people with custody over him influence him negatively leading to gangster activities. Another common complaint is that Ninja and Yolandi were horrible actors. I disagree Yolandi had me genuinely interested. She is a very unique person and had a motherly side that I grew to love. Ninja also achieved the his characters point. He abused his son and forced him to conform to his style of life and do what he wanted, rather than allow his son to become who he wanted to be. Another issue that was tackled in this film was spirituality and consciousness. How do we define consciousness? Blomkamp creates a robot that can think. i immediately fell in love with Chappie. His mannerism and outlook on life was extremely interesting to watch. I was emotionally distraught in scenes were Chappie was beaten or mistreated in anyway. This kind of emotional response is what a good movie can create. I understand that the ending may not be for everyone but the way that a Blompkamp takes two characters and ultimately they are one in the same. I actually felt like the robot Chappie was another human inside the shell of a robot and I think that is what Blompkamp was really trying to get across. I believe that this film's major flaw was that it was marketed in two different ways. One was a movie focused on violence and the "oppressive police force" as some descriptions call it, however never once in the film are the Scouts in anyway oppressive. They are simply doing their police work effectively. Another way the movie was marketed was a way that seemed to be trying to appeal to families. I believe some people thought the movie would be something that children would enjoy and then when they found out about the R rating they dropped interested. Among all of the criticism I think people should stop listening to others and see Chappie for themselves and experience a truly entertaining experience.… Expand

Calm scenes are lovely shot, the technical aspects of chappie the character are phenomenal, for a moment i thought he looked too real to be cgi. Die Antwoord's presence in the film was an unexpected surprise & even more memorable than big stars Jackman & Sigourney.
Go watch it with an open heart and you'll enjoy it. I recommend it for those in care of small children, just don't bring them with you.… Expand

way better then expected. im a fan of blomkamps movies I have to admit. they are somewhat formulaic but it kind of always works because its anway better then expected. im a fan of blomkamps movies I have to admit. they are somewhat formulaic but it kind of always works because its an actual original idea. yeah Elysium was kinda weak, but it was better then most of the garbage that's being pumped out these days. I was excited to see this since the 1st trailer I saw. marketing was solid as it wasn't constant bombardment of ads showing only the cool stuff. so its always surprising how the story unfolds, but then the critics, my god, the critics hammered this movie. I almost didn't want to see it. but it was perfect because when I eventually did see it my expectations were considerably lowered, and I was pleasantly surprised with a solid sci-fi future action flick. critics all said it was really blomkamp-y being filmed in s. Africa-again, but it actually wasn't as bad as elysm, which looked like they used the D9 set. it was gritty but it only added to the whole futuristic dystopian blah, blah, blah. having unknown actors was cool, I guess theyre actually famous for something, but ive never heard of them so it works out perfectly. s.african/English accent is brutal to listen to, but you get used to it as the movie goes on and begin to understand what theyre saying, chappie as a kid and learning was a dope idea for the movie, but the plot holes that came along with that story were the only downside to the movie. but chappie's development and personality were great. the critics made him out to be jar jar binx or something, but really was not that bad. silly in some parts but not outright annoying. the bad guy was basically the same bad guy as in D9, elysm. I mean really the same-exact-character. but aside from that I didn't see the whole Robocop comparison, I mean yeah the robots did look similar, but different story.
overall there were a lot of plot holes, but it was a good action movie. decent special effects, great story but a few too many stretches in the story were this movies downfall. its worth a watch.… Expand

He steps in familiar territory - while not a condemning direction to take, especially with a film as grand as D9, there's a feeling of sameness in its script when compared to his predecessor that stops Chappie from reaching its true potential.… Expand
