That being said I’m giving it a ten because I’m so sick of spineless “critics” obviously taking bribes to distract from the fact they are becoming increasingly irrelevant. God bless the Internet. Anyways yeah the movies fine. Not exactly a masterpiece but better than anything I’ve seen will smith in for a while. For me it was a return to form for him. I enjoyed the premise to be fair it was ambitious but it was pulled off ok in my book. Joel edgerton played a convincing modern day orc. He was kind of dumb but likeable. Parts of it reminded me of the first two blade movies mixed in with your classic buddy cop dynamic. Overall a decent and enjoyably original take on a few classic premises. We’ll played Netflix.… Expand

Imagine my shock of glee when they combined these elements! The story is very engaging, lots of fantasy elements combined with gritty real life situations. The movie wasn't written to win an Oscar, but seeing what trash is winning the Oscars as of late, this movie is deviates from that formula, which is refreshing! Only complaint: it does have a lavish use of the F word, which I don't find offensive but can off put those who are really into the fantasy aspect side only, plus it just plain looks like bad dialogue writing. But that is a minor issue, I'm really hoping it spins off into a sequel or even better, a Netflix series!… Expand

Critics v Audience. Critics have clearly no idea what the audience likes anymore. Star Wars was awful. This was awesome. Critics are corrupt and need to stop being paid by the studios.

The critic reviews are obviously being influenced, because Netflix did a great job with this production. Not only is it a mash-up of modern/fantasy which is awesome for people like me who were raised playing RPG games and reading lord of the rings books, but it includes a decent cast and very cool concepts of how a world like this should be. This movie has set up a universe of possibilities in sequels, they can literally create a movie experience that will propel this intellectual property to the popularity level of a Peter Jackson movie if they handle it properly.

The movie only falls short in my opinion because you have to wait for the sequel for the main protagonist's story to actually begin. This movie is more of an introduction to the universe and an opening for Will Smith's character in the next movie.… Expand

I really dont understand why the critics bashed it so hard.

As a person who loves fantasy movies, as well as buddy cop films, this really just hit the nail on the head in all the right places. It was a really unique and fresh idea mixing fantasy with modern gritty/urban environments. I highly recommend watching it if you're into the same stuff I am. You wont regret it.… Expand

Bright isWas intrigued by the difference between the critics and the average person, so I broke my longstanding aversion to netflix originals (make no mistake, 99% of them are garbage, Bright is the 1% that stands out) to check it out.

Bright is clearly an amateur hour production, with parts with cringe worthy dialogue (the racial crap is pathetic, immature, and clearly leftwing propaganda), in addition to a few scenes where you just can't hear the main characters talking.

That being said, Will Smith and the others are either great or at worst good actors, which makes for an enjoyable watch. If you like buddy cop movies you need to check Bright out. It's good and has a nice fantasy twist on an otherwise overdone genre. Will Smith is great as usual. Too bad they didn't flesh out the world more, but it is at its core a buddy cop movie first, the fantasy setting is unfortunately more of an afterthought than anything else.

The best way I can think to describe it would be a "pretty okay" movie. Not great, but not bad either. Worth a watch.… Expand

It's foul mouthed and violent.. things I don't like a whole lot - but it's a great cop short story in a big fantasy world, complete with some humor and social commentary. Reminded me of all the things I like about Discworld novels. It certainly captures some of the feel of "The Night Watch" thread of novels by the late Terry Pratchett though certainly a little more serious, and perhaps less clever (don't want to offend any Terry Pratchett fans - but I am one, and I really enjoyed this). This definitely feels ambitious - in that there aren't many other movies out there that splash into a setting like this. The story isn't super special - it's a typical cops on the run story, but the attention to detail in the setting, the history of the world that's only hinted at - a cultural backdrop that is new but still familiar. The Last Witch Hunter attempted a grand setting like this - but this was much much better.… Expand

The Breakdown

Performances - Smith has portrayed this type of character before so probably not a huge stretch, he is still enjoyable to watch with his natural enthusiasm flowing through.

This is my favorite Edgerton performance, slap some paint on the man and he really seems to fall into the role. If you didnt know it was him under all that makeup you would be hard pressed to guess who it is.

Supporting cast is pretty solid if not slightly cliche/generic, bad guys felt a little meh but again not terrible.

Visuals: Beautiful film across the board, i feel like they sat down with a map of L.A and put some thought into how it would look with fantasy inspirations. Makeup and sets are on point through out, CG was right up there as well.

Plot: This is probably my only really gripe, pacing feels really off and for a film that takes place of the course of a night it just seems to be a little rushed. I really really hope they expand on this world and either develop a series or more movies (i think one more film is at least in the works) as there is a lot to be explored here.

Overall, turn your brain down a little, dont over think it and enjoy everything this movie does right. Its not a dumb film but if you start thinking about the premise too much you are probably missing the point.… Expand

The writing isn’t strong enough to sustain the film, but the performances by Will Smith and, particularly, Joel Edgerton, carry it through to the end. Some fun action set pieces, a few creepily effective suspense scenes, and some low key humor are mostly successful in compensating for the non-committal directing by David Ayer and some weak special effects. The 60 member makeup design team for “Bright”, led by Oscar winner Alessandro Bertolazzi, are certain to be nominated for an Academy Award for their outstanding work.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Don't read the "professional" critic reviews. These are the same people who sacrificed their first born children to the glory of "The Last Jedi". They want everything to fit into their little academic box where they want to see everything as a social commentary. "Bright" is not. Or if it is, it's one where they just don't agree with the message.

For starters, you aren't supposed to like the main character, Ward, played by Will Smith. This is established early on in the movie where he asks for a new partner who isn't an orc (named Nick Jakobi) and is told point blank that the one no one likes isn't Nick... it's Ward. And it's probably the reason Jakobi got stuck with him in the first place (one hated for his race, the other for his attitude). And it's easy to see why. Ward is abrasive to his coworkers, snarky to his superiors, and bordering verbally abusive to Nick. The only positive relationships shown is to his family, including his daughter, who he's trying to raise to be better than him. So, at least he knows how much of a total dick he is.

Nick is the total opposite. Nick is bright eyed, optimistic, and incredibly polite to almost everyone, even Ward. He wants to improve the image of Orcs by becoming a cop, a choice that has made him a pariah to his own people. He's faced with hardship after hardship, making you want for him to succeed.

Now the story. Very basic, but all the better for it. None of the character decisions are informed solely by grabbing either the villain ball or stupid ball. Only have 1 person to send after a target in a fortified safehouse? Give her a MicroNuke (magic wand). All you coworkers want to steal the MicroNuke to sell on the black market and tell you to kill your partner in order to pin the blame on him? Kill the coworkers and go on the run, turning yourself into a friend in another department who at the least is willing to hear you out. Extremist assassins kill your friend and you are on the run again? Turn yourself into the FBI's MicroNuke team. Want to advance the status of your people, or just want to heal a disability? Take the MicroNuke. Also, the threat level rises through the story like it should, with the heroes facing first gangbangers, then an Orc gang, and finally said extremist assassins.

If you want world building, then you WILL be disappointed in this story. That's not necessarily a bad thing, it's just the result of a limitation in the medium. There's some interesting things you can pick up if you pay attention, but it sacrificed it in order to tell the story. Personally, I don't mind. If it's good, I'll read the expanded universe if it comes out (I'm looking at you, JRR Tolkien).

For you social commentary nerds, it DOES have some of that, but it takes back seat to the story, like it should, IMO. You have to pay attention. Aside from the obvious anti-racism message, there's some interesting commentary on the militarization of Police and the effects it can have in perpetuating the cycle of distrust between the cops and residents of the slums, along with a message about relegating a certain group to different jobs (all of the cops save Jakobi are humans, Orcs seem to have a big presence in the military, and Elves seem to be exclusively white-collar) and how pigeon-holing just leads to resentment and clannishness.

It's a great movie, and the only things I can find wrong with it is the lighting, and how often half their faces are obscured in shadows, and how some of the dialogue is very awkward at times. But hell, I've seen movies with amazing dialogue and cinematography but utterly atrocious story that they sacrificed for some gaudy message or world building.… Expand

Great film. They could have went into the lore a little bit more but if you pay attention you can pick up on some things. I really look forward to them going into what it means to be a Bright and the repercussions in the second film.

Weirdly enough, this movie really didn't need to be set in a fantasy world. That was all purely extraneous window dressing. Despite that, this was an excellent movie, just not for the reasons you think.

The main criticisms I've heard areWeirdly enough, this movie really didn't need to be set in a fantasy world. That was all purely extraneous window dressing. Despite that, this was an excellent movie, just not for the reasons you think.

The main criticisms I've heard are these. 1) The fantasy world was never explained. 2) Will Smith was unpleasant and didn't share chemistry with his partner. 3) The politics of the movie were incorrect or somehow missed the mark.

I'll take these in order and in doing so explain why this worked.

First, the setting. Yeah, the world was never really explained. That's because the movie was a personal drama between the two main characters. Everything else was just to either move them through their journey or give them something to push against. In some ways, I wonder if the fantasy world was purely meant to increase the profile of the movie and get eyeballs on it, while Ayers really just wanted to make a tough, realistic personal drama.

In any event, you're right, the world was never really explained. Maybe that's because Netflix wants to save that for the sequels, or the series. Maybe it's because the author and director wanted the audience to be able to fill in some of the elements in his world with elements in yours (the experience of racism, distrust of cops, media depictions of urban LA) while also making it seem different enough that this maintained a clear fictional element. Who knows. Most movies with an action element are littered with unbelievable plot MacGuffins which the movie tries to make believable. Bright just says "yeah, it's magic, don't worry about it". It's a refreshing change.

2) Will Smith was bad. I think this is, in truth, "Will Smith was unpleasant". The problem is, that's the point. He's meant to be a morally grey character. The movie probably can't let him fully turn heel, but they also didn't really want him being the usual wise-cracking boy scout. He was a guy struggling against his prejudice... or more accurately, who occasionally chose to struggle against his prejudice but was pretty successful when he did. I like the latter message, people ultimately have a choice whether to be biased, but many choose to never actually view it as a choice. I could see people hating how many of the early movie interactions between the partners were awkward and uncomfortable. Those guys were legitimately uncomfortable with each other, though both occasionally tried make it better. That's the point.

So, yeah, Will Smith was a truly unsympathetic character much of the time. That, to me, is playing the character and not playing stereotypical Will Smith.

3) The movie glorifies cops / denigrates cops (I've heard both) / oversimplifies racism / projects racial stereotypes onto the orcs/etc.

I don't have as strong an answer to this one. Yes, it embraces stereotypes, the movie is about people coming to grips with their own stereotypes. It leans into stereotypical media glamorization of gang life. It equates poverty with gangs and violence. All of these are true, but in part, rest on accusations that the movie promotes the wrong image by associating groups through its gaze. Poor and gangs are associated because they both show up in the same place. Stereotypes and racial minorities are linked because they show up in the same place.

The charge about stereotyping minorities is, to some extent, true. There are some lazy narrative moments where caricatures are the only thing you notice about some ethnic groups. Some of the criticism about politics seems a bit nit-picky; the movie is trying to tell a story about a person struggling against their own prejudice and they kind of have to show prejudice around him in order to make it work. There are some lazy choices, but they always seem to be in service of the main story whose message is a good one.

I will say, I don't quite get the arguments about the role of cops because they were both hero and villain, so it seems like a relatively fair treatment.

Anyway, the advertising may have been a bit deceptive because the fantasy world got top billing and never became more than scenery and a plot device. As a film and a narrative, it's excellent.… Expand

It was a bit muddled on the genre and what it wanted to be, but it was a competent movie. I cared about the characters and what happened to them, and it kept up the tension from first major action to climax.

It's a bit of a Hellboyish fusion of fantasy and action in a contemporary setting.… Expand

The acting was appropriate for the genre. Will Smith is great at playing Will Smith; not a necessarily a dig at the movie just at his range. Overall a well executed simple story (not a dig either) with exception of the dialogue, which could have been more engaging. And most importantly, kudos to the writer who did NOT turn an easily politicize-able topic into a SJW riddled fiasco (The Last Jedi). It addressed both sides evenly. Which, in part, is why I think the critics panned this movie; for the lack of police bashing disguised as "biting political commentary".… Expand

For me, the main basis of a good movie, is that it's entertaining, however, a great movie is more than that. Bright falls into the good category. That being said, the story mostly follows the cookie cutter big budget narrative. There were some twists, namely two "big " ones, that were very clearly going to play out the way they did. There were also a handful of instances where I was yelling at the screen because the characters either did, or failed to do, insanely stupid things. Nearly all movies are guilty of this to some degree, but bright would receive multiple concurrent life sentences if this was a punishable crime. However, these fairly glaring flaws would bring my score down much farther on an overall less entertaining film. I had a surprisingly good time watching it, and will recommend others give it a chance. Bright is far from perfect, but undoubtedly better than the critic score conveys.… Expand

Sadly as I said at the beginning not all things where done or pushed to the limits, but what was really cared for where the visuals and that futuristic vibe combined with today's worlds. Also what a lot of people fail to see is the message of the movie. The ending really reflects on all the hate, racism and oppression with all these issues indicating issues from our real world.

I REALLY hope there is a sequel.

So, how many "professional" critics were paid by mainstream studios to give this movie such a low rating? Are they that afraid of Netflix?… Expand

Clearly an inspired movie, unfortunately extremelly underrated. Although it has it's flaws, the whole movie works better if you see it as an RPG campaing, to the likes of shadowrun. The characters have goals, the cheesy dialog propper fromClearly an inspired movie, unfortunately extremelly underrated.

Personalmente la película me ha entretenido, me ha recordado en algunos momentos al "Señor de los Anillos" por el tema de los orcos, elfos, el señor oscuro, etc. Se hace amena hasta el final, con acción sin cesar de la mitad de la peli hasta que acaba. Me gustó. Le doy un 7 sobre 10. Mi Decimoquinta crítica u/o review de la sección de Movies.… Expand

Très bon film qu'il faut voir comme un film héroïque fantaisie dans un monde moderne. Un bon diversement. Le jeu des acteurs est bon et l'on ressent bien l'effet "racisme/rejet" envers Nick (le policier Orc) de la part de tous le monde.

Bien que le film dure presque 2h, j'aurais bien aimé qu'il face 30/40 minutes de plus pour poser un peu plus les bases des races en place dans l'univers proposé. En effet le film Glisse 2/3 phrases par ce par la pour indiquer que les races se côtoient depuis bien longtemps. Mais c'est un peu léger. J'espère que dans le prochain l'univers sera un peu plus mieux mis en place. En bref pour un divertissement dans lequel on ne s'ennuie pas du début a la fin. Je vous le recommande.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bright is an urban fantasy action film, directed by David Ayer(Fury, Suicide Squad) and starring Will Smith and Joel Edgerton. On one hand, it is an exciting adventure story that shows a hero's journey from discrimination to freedom. On the other hand, it is a boiling water, trying to clutch every story arc without thinking twice. Let me state how: -

It tries to add every political and social idealogy in one movie to showcase everyday life. However, by doing this, it overstuffs the already overstuffed story. First, we already the main story: Will Smith and Nick's investigation, Kandomere's suspicion, some weird-ass Asian girl who is part of a "Dark Lord". I am just concerned that they spoiled the movie by putting all the stuff in a 2-hour movie, which is almost impossible, as demonstrated by The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3, etc. Then there were some shots showing how orcs are treated in everyday life with rap music playing in background. Now that was a very bad move! I mean what were they trying to be. I was also dissapointed on the perceived lack of action sequences, as even if they were there, they are just very soulless as if it's budget was like Mad Max 1(which wasn't. $90–106.2 million is less!?!?!)

Nonetheless, Will Smith is always a lousy douchebag who only cares about his family. David Ayer has yet again proved to be a better fashion designer than director as the make-up and costumes are top-notch. the world itself is very awe-strucking to look at, if not that much original.… Expand
