It was good, enjoyed the new "universe"  concept.

So someone was triggered over elves being richer than others..????

The critics savaged it.

It was ok. Good 2 hours wasted without any extra money spent.

It was well made, albeit formulaic. A somewhat original mishmash of genres and despite me hating Will Smith, he was bearable. Lots of potential to explore the world and stories to create.

Good on Netflix for taking the chance.

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.

The elves vs orcs wealth/power/treatment split is straight out of any scifi novel that includes elves and orcs living together.

Overall I liked it and hope there is more to this story. This isn't a aliens/future movie it's orcs, elves, fairies, horse people, fantasy creatures movie set into a time with technology that we humans have now interwoven with magic.

The one thing and only thing that I didn't like is all the swearing. there was way more then was needed. I swear more then everybody I know and it was distracting to me.

Decent flick.  I was expecting it to totally suck based on some of the posters here, but then I realized half of Arfcom finds anything other then Mary Poppins or Black Hawk Down to be trash.

Maybe there is a movie all of GD could agree on.....

I guess I am in the minority I really enjoyed it. Once the action started it pretty much kept going till the end of the movie. I liked a lot of the shooting too. Felt it was much more realistic than John Wick's 93 3' head shots.

You don’t think all that “Votes for Women” singing in Mary Poppins, and giving money to a beggar lady, woildn’y get some people here wound up and accusing Disney of having gone “SJW?” It does lack minority characters, though, so it has that going for it.

Damn, that was a really good movie. I liked the concept and thought it was pretty well executed, acting was good, action was good, suspense was good, just the right amount of humor. And it's nice to see something original that isn't a fucking sequel or remake for a change. My only complaint is I wish they spent a little more time in the beginning explaining this world, but at the same time I kind of like how they just drop you into it and give out little bits of info here and there.

As a die hard sr player I hope it is decent because it will probably be the closest we will ever get to a runner movie.

Fuck the critics it was a decent movie.  Also, one critic was saying Netflix should stop trying to make blockbuster style movies.  That's insane..

Anyone else notice how most if not all of the actors kept their finger off the trigger until it was time to shoot?

I know we have to look over a majority of Hollywood's liberal views, but nobody should be watching anything with will smith in it. I think every white person should establish this as a consesnsus. After all, he was all smiles and jokes until he didn't win an oscar. Then it was all anti white rhetoric.

"Will Smith Donates $150,000 to Nation of Islam "

“As painful as it is to hear Donald Trump talk and as embarrassing as it is as an American to hear him talk, I think it’s good,” Smith said, according to the Associated Press. “We get to know who people are and now we get to cleanse it out of our country.”

So? One of the points of Sci Fi is to make us reconsider today through a different lens. I'm not going to let one set design decision ruin a chance at a decent series.
