Bright (2017)

2017 Films - Best to Worst (75 movies items)

" Bright is a mess. It's a bad mess. A film that tries to mix so many elements into one thing, but instead of it ending up as a seamless action film with fantasy elements, it falls flat on its face. The problem is that it suffers from an identity crisis. The hard-hitting buddy cop action thriller with racial allegories doesn't work well together with all the exposition of magical mumbo-jumbo that Bright also has to offer. The fantasy elements really bring this down. You could make a film like thi"

David Ayer - Best to worst (as a Director) (8 movies items)

"My rating: 6/10"

Elokuvapäiväkirja 2020 (141 movies items)

"13.4. Tässä onkin kokonainen leffa rakennettu yhden ainoan ikivanhan kliseen ympärille. Sen sijaan, että tungettaisiin katsojille kunnollista fantasiaa, lykätäänkin fantasiaa tylsään nykyaikaiseen metropoliin. Mitään sen syvempää ideaa takana ei ole, eikä maailmaa ole viitsitty pinnallisuuksia syvemmältä juuri miettiä, vaan kyseessä on käytännössä juuri niin päälle liimattua ja teennäistä fantasiaroskaa kuin miltä se kuulostaa."

Hated or Divisive Movies That I LOVED (47 movies items)

"Often Hated For: Being a Netflix big-budget movie with buzz, who wrote and directed it, the metaphor heavy premise, its star, and its depiction of certain people in society. Reason I Love It: Urban fantasy brought to life, plain and simple. The primarily literary sub-genre has never been as fully realized as in this movie and that alone is a win. I also love that it provided David Ayer a new way to tell a familiar story he's been telling for years now. Though thinly-veiled, the metaphor is wo"

"Una película dirigida por David Ayer es como apostar, pues puede salir una excelente película o una muy mala, y despues de Suicide Squad uno se lo piensa dos veces para ver una película suya; La cosa es que ahora vuelve para traer otra mezcla que no termina de cuadrar del todo. Pero esto no significa que la película sea un desastre sino que le faltan piezas empezando por su historia que se puede tildar de pretenciosa pues intenta de hacer una critica al racismo que no termina de funcionar en"

An average movie

“Since this movie has a rather lame reputation, I wasn't expecting much but I was still curious. Well, I have to agree with all the critics, this movie was just seriously weak. Basically, it turned out to be some kind of mix of 'End of Watch' with 'The Lord of the Rings'  and 'District 9' which was pretty weird but, except for some very poor jokes, it actually had some potential. However, from the moment they get their hands on this magic wand, the damned thing just became rather lame. Indeed, not only the plot was just a convoluted mess but, above all, the whole thing was just a succession of rather boring generic action scenes. I mean, sure, technically speaking, these action scenes were not bad but it became so tedious when the 2 main characters got stuck in a new shoot-out just after s” read more

" Netflix- 1hr. 57min. First Viewing There's a great idea inside Bright but, boy, this thing is a big clusterfuck of a film. The idea of using a fantasy-tinged plot to explore racism and corruption could lead to an exceptionally original and piercing film; that is, if the film's world's logic made any real sense, as it collapses under even the slightest examination (like: why would the world be exactly the same as our own, despite the alternate history?). That non-logic would be forgivable if wha"
