When 2017 started,movie fans were not only ready for the arrival of new blockbusters (Justice League,Thor Ragnarok etc.),but they were also excited to open the doors to new worlds. And with movies like Geostorm and The Snowman it could've been a thing,but if you cast the wrong director,everything will go downhill like your Maths test. And that's what Bright feels like: A $90 Million disaster,if not also a proof that 2017 is also going to be known as a year of wasted opportunities.
David Ayer (Fury,Suicide Squad) tries to cram everything he could to try and make a cohesive story,from 'Cop Movie' cliches to 'Chosen One' cliches,full of nonsensical and sometimes unnecessary jokes (except one about Shrek that made me laugh hard),as well as some wooden acting from Will Smith and Joel Edgerton. Oh,and to top everything up,try listening to some weird Rap/Hip-Hop music while you're watching it. Everything is there as you'd expect,and boy there were a lot of those moments,but there were some things i ''did'' like. The makeup of the creatures,for example (even if it was poor for a $90 Mil. Budget,it still looked fine.) and some of the special effects were impressive (for the minor part). But it's not enough to save the expensive Netflix disaster that is ''Bright''. Now,is this the worst movie of 2017? Nah. Ok,it's in the Top 10,but maybe as a Dishonorable Mention. And yes,it was surprising for me to say that Suicide Squad (whle being flat-out passable) is a classic when compared to this.1 member likes this review.
