Oh, yeah? If he's a ninja, how come he's not hardcore? He didn't even use one of those sickle-on-a-chain-with-a-doorknob-on-the-end things. Ninjas always get the coolest stuff.

Oh, and I agree that Asimov, Heinlein, Clarke and the like all left much to be desired, writing style wise. Aside from Neal Stephenson(Who mostly wrote Cyberpunk, not PROPER SciFi at all), I can think of very few SciFi authors from Back in the Day who had more than a rudimentary way with words.
I'm also acutely aware of the fact that most of Asimov's stuff was mediocre or worse, conceptually as well as stylistically speaking. None of this mitigates the fact that Will Smith's I, Robot is the sixth sign of the apocalypse(The other five were all "Ernest" movies). I mean, honestly, it wasn't even based on anything by Asimov, they just nabbed the title to try and dupe the unwary into watching it.
