You're discrediting the great chemistry between Will Smith's character and Sonny, which means you're missing out on a good chunk of the movie experience.
Oh, that chemistry is great, but I don't think he plays the investigator part well, especially when trying to follow the clues left by Dr Lanning. Will Smith's style is very off the cuff and anti-authority, and while that works in MIB where there's the very strict Agent K to play off of, I don't think he works as the sole driver of a light mystery. Sonny and Spooner's interactions are fantastic, but they're usually driven by Sonny giving exposition. Spooner is usually just running from things as they unfold.
All in all, not a bad performance (there were plenty of objectively worse ones), but I don't think it does the movie any favours. There are plenty of great things about i, Robot, but Will Smith is not one of them in my opinion.
