A buddy cop story featuring fantasy races? I enjoyed it.

I liked it, but you know how cool it is to hate everything these days.

I thought the world it built was amazing, but that the movie itself (specifically the characters) was just pretty good. I think it would have worked better as a short season of episodes.

Yeah, that's kind of the vibe I got from it.

The writers spent a lot of time on the world, and they did a really good job showing that off too. Often when people do that, they spend too much time going "Look at how much work I put into this world! That's why my [book/movie/whatever] is so good!" But with Bright they showed exactly the amount of work they put into the world that they needed, and, more importantly, they did a decent job of integrating it into the story.

That's my amateur analysis of it anyways.

I would have preferred it as a series too. The usage of fantasy concepts in modern day settings isn't new but it doesn't seem to be done often either. Woulda been nice to expand on such a world.

It looks good. I'd like to see it sometime.
How does it compare to other Will Smith movies? How is Will Smith's character in Bright?

i was alright. there were some problems. There were weird mood changes in the movie. So i get why critics hate it so much.

Rule number one in any movie, you have to keep the mood the same. Either keep the mood the same or ramp it up or ramp it down. You can't have the mood of the movie constantly go back and forth or critics will hate your movie.

i would watch part 2.

Basically its:

Joel Edgerton as Nick Jakobi, an orc
Will Smith as Will Smith

If youve seen Will Smith in Bad Boys I & II, youve seen him in Bright. Thats not a bad thing though.

Which ones didnt you like? Out of the ones Ive seen with him the only one I didnt like was Exodus, but that was just a bad idea all around.

The Thing remake, King Arthur, and It Comes at Night are the ones I can think of

I did like Smokin Aces though

Got it. Smokin Aces is the only one of those Ive seen. I didnt even know he was in the King Arthur one and I had heard bad things about It Comes At Night.

Edit: oh shit the 2004 one

Yeah that's what I like about Will Smith. Whatever character he's playing, he's always a likable one you root for and it's easier to relate to said character.
Except in After Earth. There his character kinda sucked.

critics hate it but the audience actually thought it was alright. there will be a sequel. the movie was indeed good. also there's one scene where smith is talking to internal affairs and he tells the dude with the mustache to shave his mustache, bitch. the dude laughs as he walks away. i think that was adlib by smith and the dude was reacting to it lol.

No argument here. But that's how I remember it wasn't a remake!

Just finished it last night, I definitely like the fantasy twist to a typical good cops, bad cops, gangster, and secret organization type movie. I do hope a sequel will come out that expands on such a world. Whether or not the sequel should go into details about Ward being a Bright, I don't know. I wasn't too surprise but it felt a little too last minute to matter.

I was digging the Shadowrun vibes, but I haven't been able to check it out yet. That said, literally everybody I know at least enjoyed it, so I'm not sure what to make of the critic backlash except that maybe it's just critics being critics again
