Strong and Moving!

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

I watched the 1st 10 mins that was enough. I was not convinced about the fairies and orc,s

One of the most original mix of common theme elements I've seen in a long time. Mixes the typical cop mcguffin story line, with a unique setting for that genre. It's interesting and thought provoking. Good action scenes, good pacing and good tension. I am delighted they are making a squeal.

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.

I had no expectations to this movie, given the fact that it was a movie that aired on Netflix. And it starred Will Smith as a police man with an orc police partner, right I know sounds rather corny.But still I gave the movie a chance, and I must admit that I am more than happy that I did so. Because "Bright" turned out to be a really amazing movie.I was more than genuinely entertained from beginning to end. The storyline in "Bright" was captivating and it felt very much as if the movie was set in a pre-Shadowrun setting one that was just missing the cyberpunk aspect, or at the very least the director has been heavily influenced by the Shadowrun roleplaying game.The acting in the movie was good, and even Will Smith was able to shed his usual shackles of mediocre acting for this movie.What really blew me away, was the special effects and practical effects, because they were spectacular and realistic. And the way they made the elves appear was just phenomenal; they really made the elves seem like they had transcended humanity and reached a higher state of being.They had a very impressive cast ensemble for this movie, which really helped bring the characters to life on the screen.I hope they follow this movie up with a sequel or perhaps even a series because there is so much more to be explored here.
