deathrey 204 Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 I can't think if a single one of his films that I would happily sit through and watch. Fresh Prince will always hold a place in my heart and I still enjoy watching the re-runs on Comedy Central but more so for characters aside from Will (Carlton and Geoffrey). His music is pants. I did love Boom Shake the Room in the early 90's but I was still in primary school and had no real taste. His kids seem like typical 'I'm misunderstood and special' Hollywood brats.

Moderators Chest Rockwell 6,203 Posted February 11, 2019 Moderators Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 The re-runs on tv are unwatchable for me because they do that blurry vision thing on the sides of the screen to compensate for the fact it's in 4:3; so fucking distracting.

Jonny Vegas 190 Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 The Pursuit Of Happiness and Enemy Of The State are both excellent films and he is brilliant in both. Films like Independence Day and Hitch he was fine but he's pretty standard in them. He's had so many films that he is absolutely horrific in/are all round terrible though.

Urgh. I caught The Sweeney on ITV4 the other week and they have zoomed and cropped the original picture to force it wide-screen and it looks atrocious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Briefcase 200 Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Have always thought he was good fun in films. Not amazing by any means. If anything he has probably made some films better than they should be because he is in it. Special mention for Hitch, thought he was great in that and I don't usually like them films but even if its on TV now I could watch it for a cheap laugh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Friends is still as good as it ever was and there's only a few awkward bits that haven't dated well. And all that would have happened with your latter point is that Django would have been a much worse film. You're really consistently almost on the right side of an argument and always for the wrong reasons, soapdish. I know opinions are subjective and all but... damn if you don't give that notion a run for its money. I think it’s because I’ve had to sit through Friends so many times. There are bits that really make me laugh still, but it’s no Frasier or Seinfeld which I think are still funnier today. As to Django. Could be right. But Tarantino is the kind of director to get a really good performance out of an average actor. I mean just look at Travolta in Pulp Fiction. I get the feeling people are to scared to try and make him act because he’s Will Smith, hence so many average and samey performances  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members jazzygeofferz 1,515 Posted February 12, 2019 Paid Members Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Given his propensity for almost always somehow having a song on the soundtrack of stuff he's in could we compare him to Dennis Waterman? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well no shit. It wasn't as good add either of those when it aired the first time around. That doesn't mean it hasn't aged well!

Paid Members Carbomb 4,576 Posted February 12, 2019 Paid Members Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 I think he's a perfectly solid action film actor. He made Independence Day fun, I liked his performance in The Pursuit of Happyness, and I enjoyed I, Robot and felt he played a serviceable lead in that. Didn't think he should've played Deadshot, but then he wasn't the worst of the many shit choices made regarding Suicide Squad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cobra_gordo 772 Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Wild Wild West is decent fun, sort of film that I'd watch it if it's on but won't go out of my way to see. I don't mind Bad Boys 2 either but it does drag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Otto Dem Wanz 1,388 Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 People in here are seriously criticising Will2K? Sampling Rock the Casbah for a hip hop new year's anthem is fucking genius. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
