The 8 Best Movie Robots of All Time -- IndieWire Critics Survey

Every week, IndieWire asks a select handful of film critics two questions and publishes the results on Monday. Last weekend saw the release of "Solo: A Star Wars Story," a movie that at least one critic maintains is salvaged by the introduction of a brilliant new droid. On that note, what -- or who? -- is the greatest of all movie robots? The only reasonable answer is Robby the Robot from "Forbidden Planet." A trailblazer for android-kind, he was the first instance of a bag of bolts that actually had personality, charm, a sense of fully-formed character.
