Started off slow but was enjoyable, even if it wasn't too surprising. If probably give it a 7-7.5/10 And would watch it again.

Definitely started slow but I really enjoyed it overall.

Watched it last night, finally something fresh, and it did feel like a Lord of The Rings set 2000 years later

Also it was nice to see a Will Smith movie that wasn't a PG-13 with no swearing etc. It felt like Training Day meets LOTR and I enjoyed it. (1 scene in particular was a rip off of Training Day lol)

Maybe its because i watched it and had a lot of interruptions, but i didn't like it that much. The story was pretty good but i feel like they couldve done more with the backstory and explained more about the villains, perhaps even went more into detail about ward and nick. It's possible they intentionally left all that stuff out to introduce in another movie, but as it stands i feel like the story just wasn't that strong.

The acting on the other hand was top notch.

I feel like a tv series could have done this and made the overall aspect of it much better

But yeah was a pretty good movie nonetheless

It definitely would have been better as a series

I’d agree with a series being a better fit. But the ending seems to leave it open to a sequel.

Maybe that's coming, or maybe they just couldn't get Smith to agree to a series? No matter how shitty his movies get, I'll still love him, and this is probably his best since MIB3, unless I'm forgetting something.


Pursuit of Happiness is his best movie imo

That was before MIB3.... I also didn't say MIB3 was his best movie, or even a good movie, I just said that this was his best since that one. MIB3 was 2012, and everything he's done since then has been complete trash. People keep telling me Concussion was good, but it just seems like such a fucking gimmick bullshit movie. I'll watch it eventually, but I have a hard time believing Smith's performance is all that great in it. Prior to MIB3, he did Seven Pounds, which I consider to be his best movie (another example of me heavily disagreeing with critics). Pursuit was his best individual performance, but I thought Seven Pounds was an all around better movie. That was in 2008 though. Fucking crazy that it's been that long since he's done an above average movie, but I guess he really doesn't have that many great movies to begin with. Pursuit of Happiness, Seven Pounds (critics disagree), Enemy of the State, Independence Day (this is debatable, just a summer blockbuster, but I love it for w/e reason), and I'd put the first MIB in there, I liked that one. Pretty much everything else he's done has been bad-meh. I still love Will Smith, but he loves being in bad movies, I think MIB and Pursuit of Happiness are his only movies with a 7+ (IMDB) and 80%+ on RT.

He's done plenty of movies that I've enjoyed, but objectively they're not good films lol. Hancock, I Am Legend, and the Bad Boys movies to name a few.
