Another excellent WILL SMITH movie & role!!! Smith was fantastic as Deadshot in the BRILLIANT underrated SUICIDE SQUAD & moved on to Bright with the same great director david ayer who he works perfectly with & here aha smith is excellent is tough rugged older cop Daryl Ward who has to team up with an orc on the police force & all sorts of craziness happens including finding a magic wand, being hunted by violent street gangs of both humans & orcs & fighting off super killer elves & crooked cops!!! A dark fantasy cop THRILLER full of gritty corruption & violent streets of thugs, this cop film moves along at a great pace & is full of action & some fun banter. Will Smith really does give another excellent performance!!! Very well directed by David Ayer & full of danger & violence ANOTHER underrated but great movie!!! WILL SMITH is Fantastic again

Bright has an amazing title sequence, using graffiti and posters to sketch out a contemporary Los Angeles where fairies and elves are real and Orcs are an oppressed race dealing with humans who fear and hate them. It's a densely packed sequence that promises something really cool.The early part of the movie does a nice job of world building. Will Smith is a human cop forced to partner with the first Orc cop, who is hated by the entire department. Unlike our world where race is a constructed artifice, here race is very specific, and humans are all one. So Will is a mildly racist human who never experienced the anti-black racism of the real world.We also get to see Will murder a fairy, which is basically a flying rat in humanoid form.In this world magic exists, and certain individuals known as "brights" are able to wield magic wands, which will destroy anyone else who touches them. Will and Orc come across a scene of magical slaughter and find a young elf woman who has a wand. The lure of magic is strong, and the movie becomes a hectic run from magic-desiring cops and thugs, as well as the wand's original fairy owner, whose gang is an unstoppable force of murderous gymnasts. To put it more simply, Bright is a mismatched/buddy cop movie (with a twist) involving a night of mayhem. It's predictable, shallow, and has some fun action sequences and light, somewhat amusing banter.The critics hated this movie, but I'd say it's pretty standard as buddy-cop movies go. Lethal Weapon and 48 hours, big hits the critics like better than Bright, seem equally dopey. Honestly, I enjoyed it more than either of those "classics."But I can't help but wish the movie had followed the path set by its title sequence, with more attention paid to the racism of a society that has actual races.Also, why are all the thugs black? I mean, it's a world where presumably humans see themselves as one race, so why would poor neighborhoods have so few white people in them? It suggests that the premise wasn't really carefully thought out. Anyway, Bright is fine. It's not the end of the world if you miss it, but it's got some fun stuff in it.

Although the premise of "Bright" is not entirely original (think of the 1980s movie "Alien Nation", for one thing), I was still willing to give it a chance, because of the great potential the story had. However, in the end the movie, while not the bomb as some people have labeled it to be, isn't terribly successful. It's never boring, and it does bring up some intriguing ideas every now and then. Unfortunately, most of the intriguing ideas that it brings up are not developed to their full potential. There are a lot of things about this hybrid "normal" and magical worlds that remain quite vague and not fully explained, which leads to many moments that are frustrating and/or confusing. The movie's script is not the only thing mystifying about the movie. The direction, primarily with frequent underlit lighting and hard to follow action sequences, also adds some confusion. Personally, I think the movie would have worked better had it used this premise to primarily be a satire on modern day race and culture relations - that would have added a lot more detail to this world. This is not really a BAD movie, but it could have been a lot more than it ultimately is. Maybe the upcoming sequel might improve things, but considering the dire state of most sequels, it probably won't.
