Hollywood knows that simply having a robot in a movie can double its potential audience.  Movie robots typically possess the human abilities to think, reason, communicate and kill.  Most of the time, however, these robots that look so cool on screen are really incompetent losers on the job.

For example, the Terminator movie asks us to believe that computers become sentient, launch a nuclear holocaust, then “demonstrating child-like frustration at having only murdered about 5.8 billion people, send a Terminator back in time to take out the most annoying human before he knows how to fight back.”  Then a waitress and eventually her kid manage to outwit the clueless robot three times.

“That alone should be proof of the laughable incompetence of the grossly misnamed Terminator.  But it gets worse.  As witnessed in T3, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator has a little battery thing in his chest that basically acts like a nuclear device when he needs it to.  Why didn’t the original, whilst crawling through the machines that eventually crushed it, just use that to kill Sarah Connor?  We may never know.”
