I agree. It wasn't such a great movie that I've wanted to watch it again and again, but I enjoyed it and thought it kept to the spirit of Asimov's robot stories quite well.

It's a pretty small field to start with and then "best" adaptation whittles the choice to very few indeed by the time you exclude the stuff that was only "suggested by" or whatever. For example I thought "I, Robot", with Will Smith, was an entertaining enough action movie, but it didn't feel like Asimov despite how much it borrowed.
