I thought it was good
However, maybe its the fact that its more a collage of "great scenes" thrown together to make a movie. The flow wasnt there, but it was solid.
It should have been great so thats why it gets hate.
But then again doesnt that sum up Will Smith's career?
This was probably his most challenging role.....and even that was scaled back. Ali WAS viewed as a BAD GUY by cac media. However, he was able to pull it off with a flair like no other. He was real and didnt give a fukk what anyone thought.
Will Smith passed on The Matrix. He passed on Django Unchained (now we can argue about whether the character was the "lead" or if it just fit the spaghetti western narrative another time)
Think back to all of Will's movies. What was a "great film"
Hancock? I was hyped as hell for this movie..... "A black superhero who dont give a fukk?" Ultimately it was a letdown.
I Am Legend? I thought Will did a a damn good job acting. But again....the movie should have been much better.
Pursuit of Happyness? Solid, but too lifetimeish for me. It was the 80s Reagan era and the shyt was just too light hearted.
I, Robot? Average at best
and so on and and so on.
He's got talent. He's just too comfortable as an actor though. He and his team want to make movies that bring in the most cash instead of having the most playback.
I aint knocking him cause he's getting paid. But Will should be doing more as an actor.
