The eyes are great, but the mouth needs more mobility. Now. Can I have one that looks exactly like Keanu?

Lame, IMO. Heck ... the robot Ahnold in Terminator (picking his eye out) looked more believable than that.

Issac Asimov created the positronic robot stories and invested his robots with "The Three Laws of Robotics" which would govern their behavior. Asimov was a humanist but his Robotic Laws were a distillation of the Ten Commandents. Killing mankind was not an option!
