Bright movie appreciation station

[K]

I'm half hour in this is dumb as hell and maybe racist I'm not sure

[MalaCloudy Black]

It's been two hours. He's either dead or he's finished it by now.

[Gazz]

He's cross stitching an Orc to go with his Will Smith.

My stepdad is watching this and enjoying it unironically.

Quote

Max Landis has stated that he turned down an addition £1million for the sale of the script because he wanted David Ayer to direct.

This script sold for $3.5 million.

There is no way this is a 3.5 million dollar script. 

Quote

Max Landis has described Bright as his "Star Wars".

......

[Your Mom]

I actually wanted to watch this until I found out Max Landis wrote it. I love the idea of all the fantasy aspects in our modern world but seriously fuck that dude

[MalaCloudy Black]

I feel like the one good major motion picture Max Landis has been involved in was more because of Josh Trank and less because of Max Landis.

Yeah but Fant4stic disproves that theory.

I liked Mr. Right but it also has Sam Rockwell in it so that was kind of bound to happen. But maybe he just needs to stick with more grounded stuff.

[GA!]

hey look

Eurgh, I really wished I hadn't watched it right before I saw the news about that. This movie sucks even more for me now, fuck Max Landis and fuck this absolutely terrible movie.

What happened to David Ayer, I'll never know. His future looked so bright after Fury, but it's just been awful shit since.

[Your Mom]

I feel guilty for enjoying that silly HHH video he did

[K]

I watched half of it and had to give up and go to bed. Apparently my dad tried to watch it today as well, he got twenty minutes in.

everyone on twitter says it's dope as hell though, so maybe i'm just a asshole but i think it's very very bad

[Josh]

Max Landis AND David Ayer? Were they trying to unlock some sort of demon gate?

I believe someone trying to stop someone from unlocking a demon gate is the basis for the film.

[Josh]

The irony.

[Gazz]

I'd been looking forward to watching this but having done so, it's just so unsubtle with what it's trying to say (every cop is a corrupt racist, every Orc is a gangbanger, every Latino is a gangbanger, every Elf is pompous and evil) and the story is almost non-existent and full of MacGuffins. It's an intriguing concept and there is definitely the basis for a world to be built alongside that concept, but they don't do anything with it.

Spoilers
 

Spoiler

 

Why has it taken 2000 years apparently for one Orc worldwide to become a cop when it says Orcs play in the NFL?

Orcs hate humans and Elves and fought against them 2000 years ago with The Dark Lord, so why are Orcs called 'Nick' and 'Mike'?

Why have Elves ghettoised themselves into one perfect neighbourhood, which is shown for all of fifteen seconds? Why are they all so rich?

If they're all megarich and successful, why is one an FBI agent?

If wands are akin to nuclear weapons, why are they not monitored and controlled?

What was the dude in the wheelchair going to do with a wand? Surely it would be common knowledge that a human touching a wand gets disintegrated?

Why does a SWAT team armed with rifles engage in hand to hand combat with an Elf?

Why does Tikka suddenly become deathly ill?

Why does a group of Elves want to bring back The Dark Lord, who they fought against previously?

Why does blonde Elf Noomi Rapace look like Ivanka Trump?

Why does no one seemingly care that Will Smith shot dead four fellow cops? He calls for back up, stating that four officers are down, yet no one shows up as back up and when they go back to the scene later, still no one has shown up to investigate and cordon off a still active crime scene?

Why did Aaliyah have to take that flight?

[Your Mom]

See the idea of Orcs being NFL players is fucking fun to me. Why couldn't someone not shitty have turned all this into a good movie?

[K]

I feel like I'm mental because everyone on twitter, everyone, loves this movie. Critics hate it, but the average audience score on RT is like 90%.

It's fuckin so bad though, it's full of holes, the world isn't interesting, the story is weak.

 

Gimmie that Orc NFL movie instead, that sounds dope as hell.

[Josh]

RT audience scores may be inversely proportional to actual quality. They love noted shitty thing, Bright, and hate noted awesome thing, The Last Jedi.
