Bright
Was absolutely hanging out for this because the trailer was excellent, Smith and Edgerton are great actors, and it was such a unique spin on the typical 'cops in LA' movie we're used to.
What a massive letdown.
The first 20 minutes of Bright was brilliant and had me thinking I was in for a really good movie. The lore and world they built was fascinating, and despite the racial overtones being a bit too on the nose, I was really into it.
Then they found the plot device and what came next was a mess. I was hoping for gritty realistic action like the excellent End of Watch but most scenes were too dark, the sound editing was awful at times, characters had strange motivations and overall the plot moved along in a very ordinary way.
Finished the movie with a lot more questions than answers, which I'm sure we'll get in the inevitable sequel.
5/10
