I came out with a hypotesis: maybe the problem is bad acting; if so, it may be more evident in the original version than in the italian dubbed version; it wouldn't be the first time that this happens.

I have seen many confuse accents and intentionally foolish characters with bad acting. The cast was great. This movie just wasn't tailor made for mass audiences. Chappie could have a rating of 1/10 on this site and it wouldn't make me love it any less.

The problem with this film is that it add's nothing to the AI/robot genre. It has nothing that makes it stand out among the pre-existing titles. No new ground was broken or ideas explored. Basically a robot comes to life, is cute, struggles to gain acceptance as a living entity, get's attacked a lot. People have seen that movie. The fact that it was set in South Africa wasn't exactly enough to make it a notable addition to genre.
Not to mention about 2/3 in it felt like it was turning into a big love letter to die antwoord.

Why do people so frequently get told to read the book on a movie database?

I thought it was a great movie. Some scenes hit me so hard in the feels.
I gave it 10/10. I enjoyed it thoroughly, and it was very thought provoking movie similar to Ex Machina, specially made me think what it really means to be human, to live, to love, to die, and how humans could potentially become immortal if consciousness could be transfered from human body to robotic body.

You seem to have seen many of films of this genre, can you recommend me any other movies in this genre?

Well the genre is science fiction, in terms robotics, eg. 2001: A Space Odyssey,Transformers, RoboCop, The Matrix, Terminator, etc. -but- the sub-context (for use of a better term) in terms the plot and where it slightly departs from this standard good-robot-bad-robot, is the transference of a human personality to a robot. Isaac Asimov's "I, Robot," comes close in terms of the interpersonal relationship between humans and robotics, but Chappie and it's plot takes it a bit further.

Ray Kurzweil, an inventor, theorizes that the speed, power and efficiency of the computer technology now in the possession of humans will surpass that of the human brain in this century, and possibly sooner than some may believe; hence forth the possibility that nanobots *blood cell sized robots within the human body to record and store the physiological, and more than likely neurological aspects/data of the body. Then making it possible to be uploaded into storage for forensic, or even archival purposes, or into another organic or even robotic entity.

Sure ... and but of course, "the world is flat," and it is only science fiction.

Why must movies have to add things? Can't we just have movies to enjoy? Well, Die Antwoord and supporting characters with big parts, so what's the problem with that?
