Bright was a stupid, fun, Will Smith movie, pretty much exactly what the trailers said it would be. It is knows what it is, an enjoyable B-movie, and unlike Episode VIII, I in no way regret the two hours I spent watching it.

I think it would have been an alright TV show honestly, it opened up a few fun things, I’d say the worst thing was the first 30 minutes of exposition.
Yeah, this. When I first heard about Bright, I thought it was going to be a new series (like Alien Nation became). And that would have been fine. It’s been about twenty years, IIRC, and film technology has progressed, there are new stars to watch and there’s lots of allegories you can make with current events. Waching …
Here’s what happened to me: based on reviews elsewhere, which truly trashed the thing, I was ready for a good old fashioned hate watch of a spectacularly awful film. And when it just turned out to be merely mediocre, I ended up surprised and actually enjoying it based on the low expectations provided to me by the…
I don’t think the film had much relevance for those of us who already possess a somewhat nuanced understanding of race relations in America, but I think it might actually be thought-provoking to that vast swarm of Americans who say they’re against racism while simultaneously supporting crypto-racist policies and…
I think the setting was interesting and the acting was strong. The plot beats were predictable and the dialogue ranged from middling to awful. If you’re going to make any “.... lives matter” commentary you better have a deft hand at the wheel, Max Landis is not that deft hand apparently.
It was pretty fucking stupid but also an enjoyable watch. It was a cult film playing out in real time.
I might be in the minority here, but I didnt hate Bright. It didnt do anything new or amazing and was somewhat predictable, but it was fine. That said, I thought it would make a better TV series.
People got a little up in arms about Bright. It was fine. It’s not the best movie you saw in 2017, but it was far from the worst, no matter what Katie thought about it. There was some enjoyable stuff, and it set the stage and opened a few doors to explore a fun world. That’s all the first movie was - to give a setting…
So they’re going ahead on a sequel to a film with messed up racial politics made by a director who’s filmography practically screams “Blue Lives Matter” and who’s studio is literally called “Trigger Warning Productions”? This is by far the dumbest idea Netflix has made since they greenlit a second season of The OA.

CALM THE FUCK DOWN
FUCK YOU!
I have zero outrage for Bono currently and in life... However I’m perusing AV Club and it’s fun to point out Bono is an idiot specifically for this.
“I don’t care about this story. Everyone stop talking about it.”
Eh, I always have enough time in the day to revel in Bono being a fucking wang.
I was so surprised when I found myself sat in a theatre full of wypipo watching the movie and when the “I would have voted for Obama a third time” line dropped, this hushed simultaneous GROAN rolled over the room in perfect time with my eyeballs - I actually laughed out loud.
It did say TSA on the car door. But I agree.
Rose and her family weren’t Trump supporters.
God, I can’t even fathom anyone walking away from Get Out and not understanding that not only was Rose evil, but she was the most evil one of all. To me, that was so fucking clear. She is the one who knows all the right words to say, lures innocent people into her lair, and treasures her prowess by having a goddamn…
