Imagine if the Child's Play movies had terrible acting, were incredibly boring, and we never saw Chuckie do anything. This movie is Robert. Aside from the fact that it says it's "based on a true story" and it in no way touches the actual story of the Robert doll, this movie is a travesty. There are exactly zero likable characters so I really couldn't care any less about anyone's fate. The story is repetitive and uneventful; most of the time is spent on the husband and wife arguing, which is the most uninteresting aspect. the most egregious issue with this movie is that Robert does almost nothing. We never see the doll move while all of him is in frame: we see his head turn, we see his perspective as he runs, and we see objects be moved or held by him, but we don't see him actually h old anything. There are tons of stupid little things like the maid "cleaning" the bathroom, but she only wipes the counters while holding a spray bottle (that she never sprays) and doesn't address the incredibly smudged mirrors, the paint of Roberts shoes just disappears, and no one ever tries to fight back against the doll. The best part of the Child's Play movies are Chuckie; he was a real character and is integral to the film. Robert is just a plot device; you could replace him with anything and the movie doesn't change. From the very first second of the movie, you can tell how ow budget and poorly made it is. Other than the physical appearance of he doll, there is nothing creepy or scary here. Even in Annabelle, we get a strong sense that something is wrong with the doll, but Robert is just a weird looking doll. It's even a little of a stretch to call this a Robert the Doll movie, as it has nothing to do with the "real" Robert the doll other than that it is about a doll named Robert. Obviously both stories are fake, but the "real" story is much more interesting than this paint-by-numbers movie that uses exclusively shades of grey. It's not even a "Good Bad" movie that you can get some fun out of laughing at, it's just a very boring movie with a lame script, terrible actors and none of the things I wanted out of a killer doll movie.
