I'll watch it why not. I'm interested in to this different species or races thing.

This comes out this week. Netflix is banking a TON on it as they just greenlit a sequel.

The first had a 90 million budget.

looks dumb.

Looks like a good drama/comedy sorta movie. I'm likely going to watch it, especially since it's on the Flix.

Reviews out now. I will watch it tomorrow.

However. Getting some bad reviews. Maybe it will be like Last Jedi except opposite. Critics will hate it, but fans will love it?

On the news I thought I heard there's some kind of protests???
I was getting ready to leave and didn't hear the report, so what are they whining about now???

I watched this tonight. I enjoyed it. A little cheesy and different, but I ultimately enjoyed it.

I read a review today that described a scene in which will smith had to kiil a fairy and says a line "fairy lives dont matter!" and decided right then and there i was OUT.

Definitely has a lot of racial undertones in the movie. Toward the end it gets better, but the beginning is pretty rough.

 

[Flyn]

It's the director of Suicide Squad.

1/2 way through right now, not feeling it yet??

Not feeling the movie or the racial undertones?

 

[ChrisRac]

Lasted until Will Smith killed the fairy flying around the bird cage. What is that, like 4 minutes?

Not a fan of it at all.

 

[Flyn]

See post 11.

 

[Turtle]

I finished it. It was average.

I’m still confused on the whole story.

 

[FrenchLicker]

Two hour movie with the quickest ending of all time. Quite a lot of building without the satisfaction of a solid ending. Like a blowjob that when it’s over you’re still disappointed.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

I don't think the film deserves the 30% RT rating. But it certainly wasn't as good as the concept could have been.

It ended up being a one watch movie. Never to be watched again.

Will Smith's 'Bright' is terrible, but that doesn’t matter to Netflix

By most accounts, Netflix's big-budget Will Smith blockbuster Bright is one of the worst movies of the year.
It has a 32% score on Rotten Tomatoes -- critics don't just dislike it; they've eviscerated it as an affront to cinema.
Yet despite that response, which is particularly disappointing for a film with a $90 million budget,
Netflix has reportedly greenlit a sequel with Will Smith attached. That doesn't make much sense at first,
especially since the company can't bank on big box office returns like other studios.
But for Netflix, it turns out hype matters more than quality.

I guess I can agree with that. Because if they've got the hype, they've already got the subscriptions. And since its subscription based, it doesn't quite matter as much because shows like Stranger Things will carry the day.

Though if Netflix takes money away from Stranger Things to pay for movies like Bright, they will lose subscriptions.

wife and I watched it, glad it was part of the subscription, just an average movie.

It wasn't bad I watched it the other night. It reminded me of some older 80's movies.

I admit, I watched it at my cabin and it was a bad cable night.
Kept crashing & was very choppy.
I'll probably watch it again after I finish pounding Eureka for a few days.

I'm really missing warehouse 13 & eureka lately.

I saw it last night.

The concept is interesting. What if Elves, Orcs, Fairies were real and survived into modern times.

Plot was OK, not great. It jumped around a lot and tried to cram a lot of sub plots into two hours.

Action was pretty good. Some new types of fight scenes.

Acting was hit or miss. I didn't feel any kind of emotion for the bad guys. They were just bad guys. Will Smith has done better acting in other movies. Similar to Suicide Squad and I'm not a big fan of this director. Let's get Tarentino to direct Bright 2 after he finishes Star Trek.

Special effects were decent. Could have been even better. You have magical items. Make the effects magical not just explosions. Lots of swirly colors would have helped.

Rating, maybe 3 stars out of 5. Watchable but not spectacular. Hopefully 2 will have more character development now that we have sat through the intro.

I wasnt disappointed.

I agree it probably could have been better, but it was above average at best.
