Screw the haters, man. Chappie is a beautiful movie. It's incredibly sad and soul-crushingly real for a sci-fi movie but Blomkamp delivers a story that is at least worth one watch and mind-blowing visuals for a low budget. Patel and Copley are absolute stars, and the rest of the cast is a bit expendable in comparison, though never terrible. Honestly, if it weren't for some "lacking" casting and a few plot holes, this could be tier 10. Really great.

A reboot of 'Short Circuit' with Die Antwoord as a police droid's adoptive parents. Sounds dodgy, right? But Copley, so great in 'District 9', once again has brilliant timing, his motion capture and voice work making the wonderfully designed robot, in turns, funny (when trying to act "gangsta") and heartbreaking (when bullied in a memorable scene which recalls 'Frankenstein'), and Blomkamp, dealing with sci-fi evergreens (nature vs. nurture, mindscanning), directs his modern fable to perfection.

Imagine if you will, that the director of the surprise hit sci-fi movie District 9 made a new film that was essentially a cross between Short Circuit and Iron Eagle. That would have been awesome. Instead, he made a Die Antwoord video in which Die Antwoord listens to Die Antwoord songs while hiding from the cops in an abandoned factory decorated in Die Antwoord official zef style (tm) merchandise. Not awesome. -100 points for not using Louis gosset Jr. as the voice of Chappie. CHAPPIE!!!!!

I'll probably be one of the only people defending this movie... This movie has some cheesy lines and shots, but they kinda warn you by saying he has the mind of a child at the beginning of the movie, and the directing is still very good and the visual effects are all really realistic and spectacular alike Blomkamp's other work. Not all of the characters have a backstory, but we're meant to watch the movie so that we can see Chappie's develop, and I felt for almost all of the characters.

I acknowledge some of Chappie's issues, but I don't think it derails it from being a very good film. I'm a big Blomkamp defender and his creativity, each one of his films have something that I gravitate to aside from visuals. Chappie has a pretty big emotional pull for me, I enjoy this at its most when he is interacting and learning. I think this film foreshadows how easily we're manipulated and influenced by the easiest stuff. Not what some people wanted, but I argue it's better.

2015 officially seems to be the year I'm just plain out of alignment with the rest of the world (at least when it comes to sci-fi). I keep seeing these widely-shit-upon movies that, sure, definitely aren't masterpieces, but have ambition and their own voices and are trying something just a little more unique than Marvel Movie #37. This is a solid comeback after the poor Elysium.

I love Die Antwoord. I loved District 9 and Elysium. I was plodding after this movie for months. In the end, this movie was trying to be too childish. it never reached its full potential. The subplot with Jackman, and I do mean subplot, was a copout to what could have been a much more interesting movie between an emerging conscious robotic community vs the powers that be, which is where I thought it was heading given Die Antwoords involvement. the giant robot just made it feel like robocop

An engaging and hilarious film, Chappie - like Spring Breakers - suffers from marketing pitching it untruthfully, when it's actually one of the funniest films in a long time. So, like the character itself, Chappie is destined to be misunderstood. Particularly, by the people who expects that IMDb genre assignations are final. A thriller? To no extent. It's a gritty, thoughtful, sci-fi comedy which manages to present an interesting take on AI, without the hows and whys, simply as a matter-of-fact.

I was touched by some parts of Chappie: those about the relationship between the innocent Chappie and thugs. Between those of a pure and sad heart and those who don't even have a concept of that sadness, which is expressed so well, thanks in part to the voice acting by Copley. But Chappie is also a decent action movie. The same convincing CGI we had seen in District 9 and a bit of Robocop with its violent dystopia. Chappie does have some cheesy parts as well but it is a decent watch.

I'm one happy chap. Imagine Short Circuit and District 9 had a movie baby and you have this film. Chappie is a police droid that is kidnapped and reprogrammed by a group of misfits. A lot of people didn't like these characters, but they were just as fun as they were colorful. The writing is really funny (albeit crass) and the action and CGI are top notch. You'll fall in love with Chappie way faster than you did with Wall-E, plus Chappie is a gangster number one...

I like the premise of a highly intelligent robot being brought up in the worst possible environment by some criminal deviants. Sort of a Short Circuit 2 reboot. The strangest choice was casting Die Antwoord as those deviants and then giving them bigger roles than Weaver or Jackman. It certainly took the film down a left-field path which felt at odds with its CGI wizardry. But that is Blomkamp's trademark now. Good try, just could have been better in a few of its characters and plot choices.

This is Blomkamp all over. We see a lot of similarities with District 9 which isn't much of a coincidence. Like District 9, Chappie is really a metaphorical tale about outcasts trying to live in our extravagant society. Chappie respresents the innocent people who try to make the most out of these ordinary and extraordinary situations but, really, fail. Chappie is witty, but emotional (I surely felt enraged watching this).

It's unable hide from it's narrative & screenplay problems, but there's undeniably plenty here to bite into regardless. Blomkamp's odd mash-up of Robocop & Short Circuit may not constitute his strongest effort, but there's a certain richness to his sci-fi that an SF fan like me can't help but love. Shot well, & competently performed, Copley's motion capture work is superb. I liked Jackson's baddie too, and as the wife pointed out; a good baddie should have a bad haircut. She's an astute woman.

Amazing, the trailer really didn't do it justice. I had low expectations but what a ride this was. It has top notch CGI and visuals, a great story, a nice ending and one of the most lovable and endearing characters I have ever seen in the form of Chappie. It raises philosophical questions and themes without forcing it to the viewer. Really amazing work by Blomkamp and Copley. One of the greatest sci-fi films of recent times, like District 9 was in 2009.

Fantastic mix of Sci-Fi and action with a very intelligent plot and fantastic setting and cast. It's not even that much about the villain and the cgi that makes this movie so exceptional in its genre, its heart and soul lie in the tiny dysfunctional family it creates around Chappie, and the questions it raises about what defines a family, and, in the end, humanity and the soul.

Chappie is, undeniably, an emotionally-gripping story with an incredibly-memorable character. It's both symbolic and quite literal (a "reject" sticker across the forehead) in terms of how it approaches the questions of human acceptance of AI, or anything that may be perceived as "better" than it is. And human cock-baggery. Robot car-jackings may be the best thing ever, even if it's horrible in context. I had concerns about the movie maybe becoming "too action-y", but it never crossed that line.

Shove Robocop, District 9, and a Die Antwoord video into a blender, and you'd get something remarkably similar to this. If you like any of those three things, you'll probably find something here to enjoy. There's some plot holes, and Hugh Jackman is horribly obnoxious, but everything moves along at a good clip, and there's plenty of quality zef gangsta action and big explosions.

Like Blomkamp's previous pictures, 'Chappie' delivers on its gritty visuals and neat art direction, but unlike 'District 9' and 'Elysium', this film feels meandering, unsure of what themes it wants to explore. It doesn't help that most of its characters and tropes are underdeveloped and familiar to a fault.

Oh boy, Oh boy, Oh boy... I enjoyed this so much. Blomkamp really feels like an intellectual brother to me; he just puts everything I want to see in a good sci-fi movie in different settings with technical perfection to the boot. "Joburg" is one scary place man and Yo-landi and Ninja put bad to the bad-ass. I was so content when it was about to end, I felt the last Ghost in the Shell reference as a kind of farewell wave. Can't wait for the next movie.

This is sadder than District 9. While D9 was more socio-political, Chappie is more about social conditioning and what it's like to bring children into a scary world. Because of this, Chappie is an incredibly memorable character (I love his voice and how he talks), and there's a lot of depth here. Yo-Landi, Dev, and Ninja all do a great job, Jackman is expendable, but Copley is the star here as Chappie. Some of the tone shifts don't work. There are some really crushing scenes here... fuck humans.

Just go watch Short Circuit instead, Chappie is a poor copy - it brings nothing new to the 'Computers are alive!' genre but leaves a hole unfilled with any heartfelt emotion or relatable characters. Gets an OK rating for being a half decent action movie; the characters give you the choice of empathising with some shitty criminals, a predictable and dull geeky character or a boringly childish robot. Certainly delivers nothing of interest to any of the big questions it bumps into along the way

Blomkamp loves him some sci-fi, you gotta give it to the guy for sticking to his passion, but i'm starting to think that he struck a one time gold nugget with (District 9), he keeps churning out ideas, a couple good elements in the movies, but the past two have been rather...flaccid. It doesn't help that Yo-Landi and Ninja, (whom I'd never heard of before) weird the fuck out of this movie, even if there is some kind of satirical charm to them, intended or not.

I may be one of the few who quite enjoyed this film from it's dark humor to it's touching style of storytelling. This will definitely be an AI that you won't forget. Brought up in a makeshift, dysfunctional and criminal family, a genius mind has to figure out a life that must be harshly felt and decisions that could be life terminating. It will make you laugh and it will make you cringe. But all in all, you'll go home with it on your mind.

While often derided as a cross between Short Circuit and Robocop, Chappie is a film with some intriguing ideas on its mind: the possibility (and problem) of sentient machinery, the politics of robotics, the role of environment in upbringing, robots that are more human than human etc. Unfortunately it never settles on any particular theme and just winds up a gigantic, if interesting, mess that counts as another miss for Blomkamp, which is a shame because Chappie is an interesting character.

Your enjoyment of Chappie will depend entirely on how high a premium you place on originality.

It's clear that this came from the hands of Blomkamp. Many similarities too both Elysium, but also District 9 in particular. It made the whole thing a bit to familiar. The childish Chappie is a nice character and Copley manages to breathe life into it. I'm not so sure what to think about the Die Antwoord casting, I guess they can be a turnoff for some people, hence their extreme charisma. The Weaver/Jackman casting was unnecessary, they never shined. *Good

It's a relatively small-scale movie that manages to feel bigger. The character of Chappie is really great, and a huge achievement for Copley and the visual effects artists. Ninja and Yolandi aren't the strongest of actors, but they bring a certain energy and attitude that fits really well, and their music makes for a cool soundtrack. The film had some genuine feeling and emotion. Jackman's villain doesn't really work, though. Overall, I thought it was a pretty good, if flawed, fun movie.

It wouldn't be much of a surprise it was written/directed by a white comedy rapper who calls himself Ninja. It's a step away from Hollywood and the whole Elysium business for Blomkamp, but not in the direction District 9 fans would have liked.

Fantastic scifi that embraces South Africa's multiculturalism with obvious glee. Unfortunately, scripting issues, probably due to rumoured late rewrites, make the film feel cluttered and less focused, which makes it fall short of greatness. Still, Blomkamp's impeccable skills for creating beautiful visual imagery is ever present; and even if he wasn't responsible for Jackamn's goofy haircut and short shorts I'm attributing that fantastic get-up to his said skills. Chappie good.

Wow. What an interesting movie. It's disappointing to say Chappie isn't good, but the final result is so disjointed and confused with itself that you have to make that designation. However, there are so many insane threads running throughout the movie - Die Antwoord playing Die Antwoord as Die Antwoord songs play in the background, Chappie's... unusual upbringing, Hugh Jackman treating the ED-209 like his baby running around in a mullet and short shorts - that I have to recommend it anyway.

Feels slighter than Blomkamp's earlier films, but is a hell of a lot of fun anyway.

This kinda stuff's in my wheelhouse. Loved the fact that Die Antwoord's in it, playing some sort of rustbucket futuristic version of themselves. Loved the way Blomkamp shoots that sci-fi action, especially at the climax. Loved Chappie as a robot baby who grows up to be a strutting badass gangsta. Just loved the chaotic grungy vibe of the whole thing. Consistently scrappy and high-energy; like I said, in my wheelhouse. More, please, Blomkamp.

With his skittish behaviour and childlike, South African accent, Copley breathes life and empathy into the titular character. Unfortunately, the rest of the cast is about as memorable as an air freshener commercial and the moral issue it addresses by the film's end left me with a sour taste.

While not as good District 9 and the story is not as strong or streamlined. There is a lot to like about this story. The imagery is strong and it has a sweet soundtrack. I think that this movie needs multiple viewings and group discussions among friends.

It's got plot problems out the whazoo, it's true, but I could look past them due to the strength of the acting and directing. I get why others won't, I really do. And you have to say, if you want a mash-up of Short Circuit and RoboCop, done hardcore, in South Africa, (and I did), ta-daaa!

An interesting movie that tells its story at a glacial pace, Chappie is a film about a sentient robot. It takes a long time to get anywhere, and some of the ideas the film is working with are ones director Neill Blomkamp has worked with before, but the film isn't bad. It's hard to connect with it, and it does get boring at times, but it's at least somewhat effective. It's tough to get through, and it needed a sharper script and tighter editing, but it's not an outright failure.

The story was good and the videography was phenomenal. The Die Andwoord duo could have done better with their acting; they felt too cringe. Overall I enjoyed the film

Yolandi is wondrous & Chappie’s gangster #1. Begins exquisitely but ends full of dumb, avoidable plot holes. Could have been the best movie of the year if the writing hadn’t gotten so sloppy at the end. Really enjoyed at the time but felt kind of hollow afterward, like having eaten fast food. It went on too long, also - needed leaner editing.

You get exactly what you'd expect from a film that features Die Antwoord. It's a Zef film.

Robocop goes South African. Better than expected actually, with some horrible acting, but I liked the SA twist and humor. There were some pretty sad parts too :( felt bad for Chappie.

Enjoyable actioner given extra verve by Chappie itself – it’s a fun character, well realised by the effects team and Copley’s gentle, bumbling performance. The biggest problems are too many characters (Jackman could have been combined with Chappie’s gang members, and Weaver is an unnecessary distraction), and the violence, which overtly apes ROBOCOP, but misses the leavening satiric bite; too often this film feels like a grotesque joke being told by someone without much of a sense of humour.

It's better than expected. My only complaint was Chappie's intelligence. It's so dumb that he could find a way to copy and transfer conciousness but at the same time he thinks throwing knife to people would make them just sleep.

For a movie that's really bad, it's really good. The plot is the both the Short Circuit movies combined into one, except without the brownface, and instead of Los Locos, Die Antwoord. They sort of deflated the whole thing too early by making Chappie literally God about halfway through, but treating it as no big deal. Hard to have a lot of tension in an action movie when one of the characters is God.

I'm almost surprised at others' unpleasant reactions to this because I believed all of my distaste to stem directly from my dislike of Die Antwoord. I almost want to watch again to see what else is weak.

there are nice tidbits and some cool action sequences, but the main story is undercooked and basically relies on raising "aww"s from the audience. it's somewhat of a rehash of district 9 in that matter. tthe problem is that he main story is not as tightly consctructed as district 9, and everything gets rushed towards the end. on a side note, the voice of chappie was way over the top. too much fluff, very little stuff in this one.

The script of this film could have used a rewrite. Most of the characters in this movie are unlikable. The actors do a goo job here but they would have benefited with a better script. Overall this film is disappointing.

Emergent A.I. and digitizing human consciousness are well-trodden but always interesting sci-fi themes. It's too bad this film isn't willing to skim more than the surface, instead focusing most of its effort on establishing an eccentric and obnoxious cast of characters caught up in somewhat tedious action set pieces. It's difficult to sympathize with any of them, not least of all because Die Antwoord are pretty awful actors.

This attempt to thematise various technological and political issues is hampered by a screenplay that at times approaches "film school" levels of mediocrity.
