I also thought Dev Patel worked well as the brains behind the robots, and his conflict with Chappie made sense and created the one effective emotional arc in the film. He embodies the innocence of a robot with an infantile mind to perfection. The visual effects of the robot are amazing, and Sharlto Copley's motion capture and voice work are brilliant. The sad truth is, there's a decent film at the heart of Chappie. It works coming from him, and he's supposed to be the villain anyways. The funny thing is Hugh Jackman is also delivering a ridiculously over-the-top performance, but I didn't mind at all. I was anxious for them to die and stop ruining the movie. Then at the end, for some reason, they expect us to fear for their lives. Every moment they were on screen, I was annoyed and wishing they would shut up. ![]() ![]() I know that Die Antwoord is a thing down there, but I swear their faux "gangsta" personalities are even more offensive than Fisher Stevens playing an Indian man. The biggest difference between the two is that the people who end up in possession of Chappie are the most annoying human beings in South Africa. I've seen Short Circuit many times before, and it's hard to deny that Chappie is extremely reminiscent of that film. ![]()
