Regardless of the film itself, Will Smith's performance is nothing short of brilliant...

Rating: 8/10 (12 February 2002)

And I hope those that vote for the Oscars realize that. Regardless of the movie, which I didn't think was bad at all, The Academy Awards are based on performances, and should stay that way. The reason I am talking about The Oscars is because Will Smith was nominated today, along with others for their performances. He deserves the award much more. While the movie became tough to follow and somewhat (yes, only somewhat, it still went by very fast) lengthy, that reflects in no way on Will Smith's incredible performance. He was perfect, and did an excellent job. So regardless of peoples opinions, their "favorite actor", and the ignorance that swirls around movies like this nowadays because people think so negatively, Oscar or no Oscar, Will Smith gives the performance of 2001.
