This movie is not about saving the world or humanity, nor is it about a robot learning moral principles from a TV. It's more about what it is to be a conscious being among humans when one is not human itself.
Blomkamp does an amazing job developing his characters and it's hard to not feel compassion for Chappie as he is dropped into the most unlikely place to grow up. He goes from being an uncertain child to a relatable hero, capable of making the tough, but right choice in face of danger.
I think it is getting many bad reviews because many of the synopses and trailers that are used to market this movie make it look like a classic running-away-from-the-bad-villain-until-facing-him-in-the-end movie, but it's misleading. Instead you get deep subjects like existentialism, greed, vanity and fear which are mixed with entertaining and funny gangsterism and that really makes this movie.
I gave this movie 10 out of 10, because this movie made me feel, think and laugh - it entertained me for the buck.

I don't know why they didn't add Timmy and other guys to the casting/scripting of this movie, but I'm sure hoping they will if they should ever create another one.
There were some very good laughs, but overall it felt kinda like 90's movie with Tom and Jerry like jokes(Which doesn't have to be a bad thing when well executed).
Also they were going WAY too much for the simple Hollywood recipe and moral story.
Whitest Kids You Know rocks 100% :P I sure can't wait to see new stuff from them.
...maybe my hopes were just too high for this one...
