Bright Netflix Movie Review

So a few days ago I saw the movie Bright on Netflix, staring Will Smith and Joel Edgerton, and this was a good movie.
This is an urban fantasy film that follows Daryl Ward (Will Smith) a human and Nick Jakoby (Joel Edgerton) an orc, as two cops that find a magic wand and an elf girl named Tikka (Lucy Fry) and everyone is trying to get the wand.
The movie is effective at what it does and it is highly enjoyable. The comedy is great, and it hits almost every time. The more emotional moments hit pretty well for the most part. The action is really well done, and was a thrill to watch.
The dynamics of Ward and Jakoby are interesting, because they do go through a interesting arc together and it is portrayed in an effective way that shows growth in their characters.
The music in this movie is well done, but could have been improved in certain areas, but for the most part it works. The lighting, with it's contrast between light and dark, is very effective and fits the movie well overall.
The cameramen must have had a lot of fun working on this, because there are some really fun shots in this movie.
From what I heard, Netflix is making a sequel to this movie, and I would watch it if they make it as good as this one was. Bright is a good action movie that has well timed jokes and has heart at times, though it's not a perfect film, it is a highly enjoyable film that, to me looks like it is a rewatchable movie. It's nice to see Will Smith in a movie, it's been awhile since I last saw him in something. This one is worth watching and I would recommend it to almost anyone.


final score: 4/5

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was  phenomenal, the  cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No performance fell flat. I perhaps would

The Batman Movie Review

The Batman Movie Review A Solid Noir Film I went and saw The Batman the other day with one of my buddies and I must say, we really enjoyed it. Granted I don't think this movie is for everyone. The Batman follows Batman (Robert Pattinson) during his second year of crime fighting. When the mayor of Gotham is killed by The Riddler (Paul Dano), it is up to Batman with the help of James Gordon (Jeffery Wright), and Selina Kyle (Zoƫ Kravitz) to stop him. From a visual point of view, The Batman is gorgeous. Every frame is a painting. The acting is solid, the plot is solid. The musical score is outstanding. I personally loved the film, but there are some things in it that could off-set some Batman fans. I typically get into the acting first, but like you've probably already heard many reviewers say before, the city is a character in this film. Gotham feels real, grounded, and certainly not a place you'd want to visit. Corruption and crime run rampant at every level of society. The
