Looks cool.. but I have issues supporting an actor like him after some of the things he's said of late...

I saw that come across my Netflix last night.

My initial and only reaction was: [Lana Kane] NOPE. [/Lana Kane]

My tolerance for Will Smith movies, even non-"Big Willy Style" movies, is below zero.

Yes, except they're chasing a magic wand instead of a briefcase full of blue goo.

Meh, I liked Alien Nation, I'll prob try this out.  It's already greenlit for a sequel.  Maybe Gandalf goes rogue and Will Smith has to take him down.

It's the sort of retarded fantasy movie I'd want to see except they accidentally cast Will Smith in it.

Also Alien Nation.

BTW look up "Cast a Deadly Spell" on Youtube, it's a quasi fantasy thing like this except actually good, although trash....

Wow, I thought it was a pretty good review!  How often do you see a Newsweek article that actually quotes "motherfucker" and doesn't censor it out?

That was an un-PC review!

Man.. after Suicide Squad and now this, I think David Ayer had only 1 good film in him and he used it up with Training Day.

The Daily Beast has been fascinating to watch.  They have real journalists, do real journalism, have done some great work... but their fundamental “SJW” bias just tried to stick itself into the most irrelevent places.

So much potential, lost to derp.

The Atlantic has been sliding way off that deepens the past few years as well - a much older brand, losing itself to derp.

It’s as if a media source can’t exist in the current era unless it clearly flies a flag identifying its team in the “culture wars.”

I really don’t see the whining in that, though -but you can tell the author is bracing for backlash and needing to signal his awareness of existing whining.

Perhaps I didn't catch on or pay attention to the previews, but the whole Ork - Elf aspect kinda made it, meh.
Plain ole' aliens would have been better.

The 5-second teaser looked interesting.  I watched the trailers, and decided I'm OK not having SJW shoved down my throat at every opportunity, especially given that the plot looked awful and acting weak.

Wow, so it's an SJW wet dream and an Alien Nation ripoff. That sounds about as gay as two dicks in a knot.

Elves were the best part.  Wil Smith plays the same character in every movie as of late.  The orc was funny.

The problem with surfing via tablet or phone is pnvicous things are often less obvious. I never even paid attention to what page opened up, just zoomed in on the text.

lol

I definitely was expecting much worse. Newsweek’s another place that’s gone ful SJW lately.

I get the impression that reporter is trying to stay alive and keep his integrity in what he sees as a very restricting environment. He’s essentially apologizing for liking the movie for what it is.

Rap music still alive and well in the future. I am disappoint. Not into anything Will Smith related anymore since him and his family have shown us how full tilt nuts they are but I'll probably check out an episode or two.

It wasn't bad.  As much as they laid down the background of the story---this should've been a 12-13 episode mini-series instead of a 2 hours movie.
I kinda liked it.

Just finished it. Im conflicted.

I liked it. Descent story line for a flick, you can fairly easily pick up on the backstory without having to have a long drawn out monologue. Effects were good, and I personally enjoy the new banter style of movies that are being made.

But there are definate "orc is the new black, and all cops are dirtbags accept for the minority ones" (the only two "good cops" in the entire fucking movie are the black one and the Mexican one...and the orc). And then there is the only pale skinned fantasy race having the best part of town and "running the world".... and making a point of driving from the slums to the "white" part of town for dramatic affect.

like i said... conflicted.

It was okay could of been better.

Will Smith plays Will Smith a Will Smith like character that gets in Will Smith like drama.

Liked certain things especially the elves and the wands.
