Anybody else get around to watching Bright?
Simplistic and sorely lacking in any lore-building of the world -- but I enjoyed it for what it was.

Yeah, I kinda wanted more on the world, but I do like that they just throw you into this world, and you find out as you go all of the things that exist in it. I like the Centaur policemen.
I imagined it as the Lord of The Ring world a few millennia later.
Yeah some cringey dialogue ("Magic Wand"), awkward moments of honesty ala' Suicide Squad, and the simplified monobloc ethnicities ("Humans", "Elves", "Orcs" etc) without distinction are all weak points.
But people are really liking it, hell I like it even as a guy who really wants the deep dive into world-building and lore.
Looking forward to hopefully more lore and fleshing out the world in the now-greenlit sequel.
Yeah, I watched it last night.
Struck me as a mash up of Lethal Weapon and Underworld.
It was an okay movie. Will Smith isn't exactly pushing out the boat much on his acting chops. Very much Will Smith playing the Will Smith Action Role [tm] and not an iota more than that.
What I don't really get it why everyone wanted the magic wand if it seems obvious that it would just blow them up. Like let them all have it until no one's left.
They can still be "handled" (via gloves or bags) by the vast majority of people and then ransomed off to (most likely Elven) Brights.
I didn't really think of ransoming. Obviously they can't use them, but Poison talked about walking again. Maybe ransom them off with requests for the bright to use on them? Why on earth (or whatever planet it is) they would think the bright would comply instead of just vaporizing them though...
Maybe it's not widely known that not anyone can use them.
True, true -- the only way Poison would get 100% whole is via a Wish. Maybe he thought that his Altamira homies would back his play on a Bright?

I liked Bright. I expected it to be a bit more unhinged ala Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency or I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore, but it wasn't. A sequel is in the works.
