Sure the script needs some help, but let me tell you Smith does an absolute great job at being Junior. Honestly, he evokes emotion and naïveté so well and since the VFX is actually well done (90% of the time) you actually sense the humanity in this CG character (mainly because of Smith's performance). Winstead and Wong are solid co-stars. Each bringing their own thing to the table. Kinda felt like they could've been utilized better (including Smith), but I'm chalking that up to the script too. Smith really does shine twice, but the script really doesn't help elevate the concept. But besides the script being the problem. The action sequences were good, cinematography was cool, the interaction between Junior and Winstead and older Smith was entertaining. There's a few lines that Junior says to Winstead that made me laugh out loud. He's not the young wisecracking Smith, but he's this naive and almost innocent, yet confident Smith that makes the delivery that much better. Sure there are a few gripes and small issues, but it was overall fairly entertaining. I'd check it out. I saw it in 3D 60fps and it actually looked really good since it was shot in 3D. Probably not necessary, but I'll be seeing it in 2D 24fps to see if it helped or hurt it.

I honestly don't get what the critics wanted from this movie! Especially that one guy who called this the "worst movie of 2017". REALLY? That's a huge lie...what about The Emoji Movie or The Snowman, or Al Pacino's movie, The Hangman??? Anyway, if you're expecting Suicide Squad...STOP. It's nothing like Suicide Squad, in terms of the acting, the action, the emotional/serious moments and the overall quality. It's much, much better than that movie, for anyone who was comparing to that movie. Now, It's not Hacksaw Ridge or The Godfather type quality, it's a typical buddy-cop set-up in a twisted, yet fun, fantasy environment. Think Lethal Weapon/Training Day/End of Watch meets Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit. Sounds weird, but you'll be pleasantly surprised.The chemistry between Will and Joel is great, the action is great and pretty much anytime Will and Joel have serious moments those are basically some of the most memorable ones out of the whole movie. There are very minor flaws, but it doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the movie. I thoroughly enjoyed Bright and I think audiences will too, I mean, go ahead and google the audience reviews. It's a Netflix movie, if people can enjoy bad movies and shows on Netflix, then people will definitely like this one. It's clearly a "people's movie", not a "critic's movie". WATCH IT and ENJOY!
