Will seems to do best in roles where he is playing a role based on a real person (Ali POH Concussion) so maybe he should go that route on his next movie. But either way the man is set for life and so are his kids so at this point anything else is just the cherry on top for him.
What’s going on with Will Smith brehs?

Someone in here hit the nail on the head: the movie “star” is dead. It’s all about ensembles now. The way we receive and control media with such autonomy has drastically changed the landscape.
Could you even imagine “reality” stars being in Hollywood movies during the 30s-70s? Now we have cameos from YouTube personalities and talentless reality stars to drive people to the movies.
Social media has taken away the allure of the movie star. They no longer have that air of mystique or mystery. Their warts and all are plastered everywhere for us to see. It’s a shame because now we can see the adverse effect it has taken on the silver screen overall.

this is 100% false...great comedic actor, credible action film actor but doesn't have the range to do things outside of that.
Most box office stars are limited, the people with the best acting chops are usually the character actors.
Oh, because he cried once on Fresh Prince, you think he can act?

I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds!
Lol at Anthony Token Negro Mackie the go to nikka side kick stealing Will Smith type roles
You're right he's not. British ass David Oyelowo and Chiwetel Ejiofor are though
. Chadwick isn't there yet until black Panther comes out then he will be over the top to the next level.
Michael B Jordan is on his way and I guess John Boyega too but not quite on wills leading man in big blockbuster roles
Jamie Foxx might have taken some away from him but he fell off after Ray imo.
Anthony Mackie is filling a discounted will smith role. He can do dramas, comedies, blockbusters at a fraction of the cost and not as much screen time

They are all younger than Will Smith.
And Nate Parker can bounce back, every action has an opposite and equal reaction. Especially since he has shown the ability to spearhead his own project.
He is done in the #metoo era. He got crushed by controversy before the Weinstein wave.
Him being innocent and exonerated won't help unfortunately, the stigma has been placed on him

After star wars the last jedi you can forget seeing this new blockbuster.

Which makes him a trash actor
Because doing impersonations is not a great acting job
So much easier as here is so much to base your character off

His big blockbusters like Suicide Squad still make bank. It’s his smaller “Oscar” type movies that the critics savage that he can’t carry to box office gold anymore.
If you look at his upcoming slate of movies he’s back to blockbusters. Bright is Netflix’s most expensive budgeted film. He’s doing the voice of the Genie in Disney’s live action Aladdin, which if it’s even half as good as Beauty and The Beast will do HUGE numbers and he’s signed on to be in Suicide Squad 2.
The ONLY thing I’m mad about is that they axed Bad Boys 3other than that Will Smith is still one of the last true movie stars on the planet.
Will Smith is kinda done as this draw.
To the point he is on Netflix.

The worst part about that movie being an actual excellent Sci fi type movie brought to film was. Will showed us a more interesting story in said movie and the movie never explained more in that sense. Plus, he should have followed it up with the movie that explained who his character was. Instead he ran off from an actual Intelligently written Sci fi script turned movie. That actually felt like you were reading an actual Sci fi actual well written novel transferred on film. That most Sci fi movies are missing in feel. If he would have followed up with the story to explain the alien antagonist and will's character path to glory. That would have been the film. Instead he kinda went for like the wrong type of content for this day and age. In this day and age a good Sci fi novel feeling film won't cut it. He should have made the movie more about his character and that origin. Not the episodic story that was better served for a tv series than an actual film in theatres. That was his mistake in that film. Past that, the movie has the feel that is typically lost in adaptation of source Sci fi material. That the component was lost in the reviews of that movie. That it makes me wonder if the reviews negatively for the film are written by professionals who actually know Sci fi literature.

I seriously doubt the #metoo era lasts forever and it has actually helped him. Dudes were getting away with rape in some cases for decades while he was exonerated. In hindsight he will look better and likely get work again if he is still interested.He is done in the #metoo era. He got crushed by controversy before the Weinstein wave.

Hollywood loves a come back story.

I don't think it is a shame. Putting people on a pedestal because they can sing and act is pretty dumb. The profession needed to get knocked down a few pegs.

He has tried his hand at Indy films rather than big budget stuff and it doesn't really really work because we expect big things from him. He does have Bad Boys 3 as a banker if he needs a smash.
Will is good and seems to be liked by many but he did the right thing by going away from his typical stuff but just chose the wrong movies to do it with.
As for talented black actors we are living in an era where we do have a good selection and hopefully some of them can make it to the superstar stage although that seems to be dying out.

Netflix bought the movie in an effort to bring new subscribers in though so that is a draw to me.
De Niro and Pacino are about to be in a film directed by Scorsese and Netflix bought it too cause they know people will subscribe for it too.

Breh,...
If will and pacino/deniro/sorcese are on Netflix. After star wars that truly shows the move to the digital romance era being even closer to taking over. As the draw for blockbusters and the ideal of going to a movie theatre will start to wane.
Star wars being low quality is the beginning what will be the hermit digital era. Where motherfukkers stay in the house a slave to a digital chemical romance. As there is nuffin of value to warrant a consumer leaving their place of residence. Star wars being so low quality shows. These corporations have no idea how to ramp in draw, develop a draw, reverse engineer a draw via spread sheet profitability. Nor how to create an original blockbuster property based draw. The shyt dead after this.
The amount of star wars ahit still on the shelf going into and after this movie is gonna be et on Atari level of shelf sitting and later burial. This shyt could bring on the fall of shyt like, it is a call back to the fall of video games. That is how fukked up this shyt is now.
