Every Will Smith Movie Ranked Worst To Best

29. Bright (2017)

King Richard
Netflix

Another Smith vehicle with a promising premise but terrible execution, Bright's main issue is that it tries to be so many different things at once.

Moving between being a modern fantasy flick and a gritty buddy-cop movie with social commentary to spare, the film never finds its footing or comes together with a complete picture of what it wants to be, despite its intriguing set-ups.

Add to these narrative failings David Ayer's dire action sequences and shaky direction, as well as Smith's uncommitted performance and the film's convoluted mythology, and what you have with Bright is a potential hit thoroughly squandered.

I get to write about what I love, so that's pretty cool. Every great film should seem new every time you see it. Be excellent to each other.
