Has anyone checked out the Netflix movie, “Bright” starring Will Smith? I just finished watching it and found it to be pretty good.

I’ve tried to watch it twice and can’t get past the 40 minute mark. I don’t know if it’s the acting or the plot but it didn’t hold my interest.

You missed quite a bit, but it’s cool. I don’t expect everyone to have the same opinion about the movie....

I’m actually about to try it again tonight. I can’t put my finger on it but the first 40 minutes just didn’t capture my attention. I hear it gets pretty good on the back half so I’m going to start where I left off this time.

Part of the issue is I’m not a fan of Will Smith.

I hear ya. If you do end up watching the entire movie, please let us know what you thought of it when you get the chance.

I’ve only watched the first 5 minutes of the movie. The reviews aren’t too good, but I’m sure it’s not that bad.

I hadn’t read any reviews of it before viewing it and, with the exception of what’s written in this thread, I still haven’t. Because I didn’t know anything about the movie or what to expect, I ended up enjoying it.

I finished watching it last night, and I really enjoyed it!
It’s good and apparently Will Smith will return for Bright 2.

The reviews were unnecessarily harsh. I enjoyed the movie. Typically I ignore reviews, and this movie would be one reason why. It was a good movie, in my opinion.

Actually if it is Will Smith's movie, i do not bother at all about other review.. I like Will Smith acting. But my honest review, i can give 5.5/10, you should watch it if you really Will Smith fans

Just watched the trailer. As an avid medieval gamer, this one has my interest.

We'll see if I still feel that way after watching.

Ok, I watched it when I got home last night.

Overall, I did like it. I liked the one-liners, the off comments, and the one "holy schnikes" moment. (spoiler - I knew the orc that Nick let go would come back around, I didn't think what happened next would happen).

I am a Will Smith fan and I did like his character. It was a lot like Hancock; just kind of there, not a lot of emotion but when there is emotion it's very passionate. I also liked the "fairy tale" side, but what I really did not like was the species stereotypes:
1- Orcs being the bad people
2- Elves being the all high and mighty, rich, "my doo-doo don't stink" attitude
3- and fairies just being a nuisance.

( all three of these are pretty much the same in any MMORPG)

Again, I did like the movie and will probably watch it again.

EDIT 040418 - Just went back and reread this again and noticed the asterisks that I actually typed in when I originally typed this post, and not the profanity filter, so I removed the asterisks and used another word.

I heard that The Bright 2 already confirmed by Netflix. I really hope that it will be darker tone, more brutal and more action scene.
